Woo 360 version for me so, no way would i pay 110 for a game, tis madness.

I got it 3 weeks before it came out here and for way way less too... I loves the region free!!!

Anyone order this from play-asia ? Could you get caught for cutoms charges or some such ?

As for buying locally. Do we know how much this is gonna cost in the likes of Tesco/Gamestop etc... ?
Its 101 on play.com.

I think it's ~110 locally.

Anyone playing GH3 on PS3?

Impressions? I heard of some issues... probably 360 fans stirring poo

I have it for the PC and it has the same problem as the PS3 version, a lot of screen tearing and the odd slowdown.

miju

its €115 in gamestop as i reserved mine today

Just cleared GH2 on expert, can't wait to play GH3. My little finger is absolutely dying, when I wake up in the mornings I can't straighten it without lots of effort for about 30 mins!

Don't know how much III will be here but I bought II in HMV on Cruises St. It was only €100 with 10% off for student discount. I know €90 sounds like a lot of money for a game, but that was a deal for Guitar Hero!!!

I'm listening to Six right now.... What a song! I love that the Guitar Hero series has introduced me to new music as well as being enormous fun!!!

-Al-

My brothers gf knows someone who works at activision, hes gettin gh2 for 20 pound with the guitar, im buggin him to get me 3 now

I hope this will keep me entertained until Rock Band. And then I will have a bass guitar also.

Its a bit of a balls that the PS3 guitar will not work in rock band and the 360 one will.

erm, why should the Guitar Hero guitar work with a rival product?

Smellyirishman

Yeah, lets keep charging hundreds for new/competitions bundled iterations and building up a practical and useful collection of plastic guitars.

Controllers generally interface with a console using a standard set of instructions, that's why we can get 3rd party controllers and why the guitars should work across both (It's also why you can use your normal controller to play the game, or indeed use the guitar to play others game if you're a masochist). It's seems the blame is being put on Red Octane for not using some standards in their PS3 guitar. Tell me, how do you plan to play 4 player Rock Band without a 2nd guitar? You want to buy another when they finally go on sale some time or wouldn't it be nicer to use one of the others in your collection.

Will the Wii version be around €100, I mean Wii games are usually a bit cheaper.

Anybody think there is any chance of this being released a day early? I am dying to play it!

Tesco messed up the release of Assassins Creed last week by releasing a day early (at least for a while) so maybe check there.

*Tripper*

Heres hoping!

Any word on a PS2 price, without the Guitar?

I found medium to be easy enough. sure I didnt do great on some songs but I didnt fail one song. I lost to slash a few times but Lou was really easy I thought.
Through the fire and the flames is crazy.

Zapp Brannigan

Medium is always easy. The step up to hard is where hearts are broken. I hate that little orange bastard!!
