This game is really fun to play. I wish I could get a second guitar so 4 players can play. Kind of wonder why the bundle didn't come with everything. Downloading the metallica songs right now. When the band gets off work we are playing

Has anyone seen any for sale (non preorder) in Calgary?

I've seen nothing. My preorder for the ps3 version never even arrived. My new years eve was merely cool . . . not nearly as epic as it should have been.

I went shopping at the Superstore today and they had about 5 for PS 3 and 5 for XBox 360. I should have asked how much they go for.

I got the phone # to their customer service desk and asked for Electronics........... update on it, they had atleast 3 xbox 360 left and around 4 PS3 left.

Gotta love an EA product less than 6 songs into playing the game I get this loud crunching Noise, 6 big scratches unreadable disc error, luckily I phoned Superstore and if they have copies of the game on it's own they'll exchange it for me.

gotta give credit to kootenayguy9 for this one. Myself and a coworker were actually let out early yesterday. We ripped up to superstore and bought the only 2 ps3 versions they received. Went to the game that night, got home at 10:30 and played till 1:30. Getting up was rough this morning.

So my base pedal broke after 2 weeks of use. For those that have it, you may want to reinforce it with something. It was a clean break just up from the heal and below where the lines for the foot are.

Warranty is pretty easy but I won't get a new pedal for 4 weeks. Just a heads up to not go ape**** on the base pedal.

Got mine home yesterday and aside from the flames game its all I did last night.. It is amazingly fun, we had 4 people playing.. The guitar is substantially better that the GH3 one. The drums get difficult on hard and the vocals are really hard to nail beyond medium.. People were complaining about the quality of the peripherals but for $200 they are pretty good.. Definately a must buy for any GH junky out there..

you know I was wondering this as well. Personally I much prefer the rock band guitar. It's a little bigger and doesn't have that god-forsaken click when strummed. personal opinion of course.

Exactly why I prefer it over the GH one..

i got my 360 preorder from eb yesterday. the kids and i were playing for quite a while last night before the flames game...its a great game.

what i really like is the ease for young people (ie 7 year olds) to play some of the songs...that wasn't there in gh3 as much as rock band or gh2.

right now...i like the non click of the rock band guitar but i have big hands and i had some trouble with the green on top of the rock band guitar. i just seemed to overgrip it and the raised bar at the top of the guitar was in my way. it will take some work by me!

i like that you can do 3 different careers. that's good value right there!

For me I hated how it clicked when you strummed down, when it sprung back up, when you strummed up and of course when it came back down. For a quick two notes, thats four clicks. Drove me crazy on the parts when you had to strum quickly . . . clicks all over the place.

I like that plus the fact this new strummer is way more accurate and sensitive.. You barely need to move your thumb once you hit the sweet spot..
