Are you at liberty to say how you got it early?

Sure. I got shipping notification from Red Octane last night and when I got home, it was sitting in my apartment. (they shipped it before they even sent the email).

Darnit, Red Octane had better bundle deals than everyone else, also. The only reason I DIDN'T order from them was because I wanted it on the first day. And here you got it on the first day - 1.

I'll be picking up mine in a little over an hour.

OMG fucking Wal-Mart only has the wired 360 version. I got it and was baffled... needless to say, I left it in my car and it will be returned tomorrow and I'll just go to Circuit City or EB Games.

I didn't even know they made a 360 wired version!?

Just spent an hour at Walmart trying to get a wireless version only to find out they didn't get them. Called 2 other local stores and they didn't get them either.

I heard about that.. No wonder its only 89.99 there right? Fvcking lame move by Redoctane/WM, whoever did that. Very weak move by them.

Me neither... I wondered why it rang up so cheap too. Not a huge deal as long as I don't open it, I'll just return it and go to another store. I think Wal-Mart just did it so their game appears "cheaper" to the consumer. I don't know if the PS3 version has a wired counterpart, but I'd imagine that it could via USB? The Wii version was wireless only though (since I only saw Wireless ones at Wal-Mart).

Yeah, makes me wish I just went to EB Games instead to get it . I always hate going for their midnight releases because they're in the mall and it's so awkward having to go through a "dead" mall just to get to the one store.

Kind of amusing... my brother took part in the GH tournament at his local EB Games and he told me he lost to this one kid... my brother got 90% in Rock You Like a Hurricane on expert and the kid got 91% .

4hr 18 min after that post.....f*ck that song still...

I tried it on hard just for the hell of it (for some reason it was unlocked in quick play even though I didn't beat it on expert) and it's so much easier...i can just about HO/PO the whole solo, but when it comes to expert, forget it....

sent a request to join the group under galperi1



GH3 shipped from family video for me yesterday so I should get it on Monday!

 

[Trogdor91]

i've been playing it since i got home at 20 after midnight, only stopping now to eat.
This game is fantasmic. Great song list! Having an absolute blast!

 

[Modeps]

I've approved the people who requested it... somehow, I've lost three groupies since I signed up on the site. Apparently, your groupies will go down if you dont play the game.

 

[CKDragon]

I just tried to link my account using the exact code they give me in the game... it keeps saying "Invalid Slot Token"

I should have tried last night. Perhaps everyone bought the game at 10AM EST, ran home, and now at 10:30AM EST their servers are overloaded.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I keep hearing complaints about the new guitar not working correctly for ps3/360. Any of you have this prob?

I keep getting the same thing. That pisses me off to no end.

Heh, I struggled for about ten minutes last night trying to sync the guitar to my 360, it just kept blinking and seemingly not connecting. Then I found that SOMEONE left my rechargeable batteries I was trying to use dead in my camera bag from when she went wedding dress shopping a few weeks ago. There will be no need for a wedding dress if this continues! :|

After I fixed that problem, the guitar's been dreamy.

Just got my wireless guitar for x360. Yeah there is an inherent design flaw with the neck. The connection can get loose somtimes and I was losing control of the green fret. I had to stuff some paper between where the neck and the body meet to keep the connection nice and tight. It didn't happen all the time but it was getting loose enough to make me miss notes. Otherwise the guitar is working flawlessly.

ok i got mine now. Same problem at first with the green fret but then it started working.

BUT.....when I'm playing held chords sometimes they will just randomly cut out.

Seriously whose dumb fracking idea was it to have a detachable neck. It isn't that big or cumbersome. Not like it is a real guitar.

 

[Modeps]

Yeah that slot token problem is pretty big right now.

Oh, and I just was able to try the GH3 Demo last night for the first time. I was able to sight-read Evenflow on Medium and got 100% the first time. I really think I need to step up to Hard. Maybe the difficulty jump between Med and Hard is better in GH3 than it was in GH2.

I'm having the same problems with the Green/Red chord. The yellow is popping on as well, so any long green/red chords short out quickly.

Is there any cheap way of getting a second guitar for the Wii? Amazon has the bundle with the game for $90 but I'd like to pick up a second controller for 2-player...

 

[sygyzy]

I am getting the connection problem, except I didn't know the cause until I checked this thread. My yellow button doesn't register sometimes

 

[RandomFool]

I had the slot token error but when I tried switching the 0(zero) to an O(oh) it accepted it...hopefully I linked to the correct one.

I just rocked the hell out of the tutorial.

Is it possible to change you location on gh.com?

I was wondering about that too..all I saw at best buy was the game/guitar combo.
