Guitar Hero III tomorrow night!
Im pretty excited. The gamestop by my house is doing a midnight release and a competition with the demo songs from gh3. Too bad the demo is only for the 360 so ill just have to wing it.
Anyone else picking it up? Im getting the wii version.

i got GH II for my 360 a few days ago as a Bday gift!
im so addicted!
Tenacious D rox!
I preordered through RedOctane, so I won't get it until sometime next week. I'm excited. I've been playing GH2 and the demo like crazy. I can't wait. 360, by the way.
Rock Band is also supposed to be about $170 for the entire set.
As for downloadable content for the Wii, I read they're working on that. Maybe at some point. I wouldn't blame the lack of DLC on RedOctane and Neversoft, though. The Wii wasn't initially designed with larger DLC in mind.
As for adding your own music, I think it's a little more complicated than running it through an algorithm to generate the notes. You've got 5 buttons, and to try to get a computer to map those to an almost infinite set of sound possibilities is a little tough. Our ears can discern between drums, guitars, basses, keyboards, etc., but a computer just sees an analog/digital set of data. Also, some songs don't clearly produce an easily discernible beat for the computer to determine a correct BPM.
Just my two cents.
Im on the save your soul set on expert, i think its the last, raining blood is kicking my ass and i think the devil from tenacious d is the boss of this so thats going to be hard as hell.
rock on
Also Rock band will be tied to a online system that will offer thousands of songs down the road.
Along with that the makers of the original Guitar Hero are the makers of Rock Band...
You think thousands of songs?
I'm seeing the purchase of a second guitar in my near future.
i just loved it! the song list is right up my alley, the game is just awesome.
Im also loving the xbox Live play...
the only bad thing is that my better half called dibs on the LesPaul wireless guitar and im stuck with the GH2 explorer :S
my wii online handle is Mastodon if anyone wants to play.
Rock the 80's just came out a couple months ago, however. That is considered more of an expansion than a full release.
My understanding is that they're aiming for a full release yearly with an "expansion" in between.
OH GOD NO DRUNK KARAOKE!
Great party game!! I'll make sure my copy is there (360).
I love it, I can't stop playing it right now. I'm 3/4s of the way through med (I'm a n00b so I worked through easy) and its getting creepy how you start playing things without even thinking. Can't wait to get up to hard.
Love the setlist, playing through the fire and flames non-stop along with My Name is Jonas. I know graphics don't mean squat, but they SUCK. I mean come on, hire a guy to redo the crappy player models and movements. It actually distracts me when I'm playing how bad it is. They should have used the cell shading in the entire game rather than just the cutscenes.
//edit I'd watch out about getting the Wii version. Despite the fact it has some vibration from the controller it sounds like it might not get any DLC and that would kinda suck for this game.
I have some friends that play guitar and they just laugh at extreme. Most commenting that it's much easier to play those songs on a real guitar. Which kind of bugs me on a level. I realize it's not a Guitar Simulator and that it is a rhythm game. But at the same time, I'd like to think that there is some point where playing the game = playing the song (chord for chord at least) on a real guitar.
