The crappy thing is, if I'm going to buy the damn thing I want 2 wireless controllers. Looks like I have to buy 2 bundles and sell off the extra game.

Yep and they aren't in the case, they are stacked under some TV's and on the very top of the shelf the controllers are on.

This came up earlier but you gotta watch Wal-Mart because there were selling bundles that came with the wired guitar from GH2 instead of the new wireless guitar.

I ordered the Wii Bundle directly from Red Octane. When the package came I had to pay $43.74 duty to UPS. Red Octane had thrown in a couple of freebies, a guitar strap and keychain. I had noticed on the invoice it had mentioned a free gig bag as well, which I did not receive, but I did not really think anything about.
About a week later the UPS guy comes again with a package and the same invoice from the first shipment saying I owed another $43.74 in duty. I wrote him the cheque, stupidly. When I called UPS and asked them why I got charged duty on the second part of this order that had no value, they said I had to get a revised shipping document from Red Octane saying that the order had no value and they would refund my money. Well of course, now I cannot get in contact with Red Octane. I have sent them about 10 emails and get no response, and there is no address on the website for how to contact them, other than email. So now I am out this $43.74.

I am officially hoping on this bandwagon.. Once I can find it.

Can you play online on either the PS3 or 360 version?

so is there anywhere in the city that has the 360 bundle? i checked a few places today but couldn't find any. buying online doesn't seem to be an option either, as all the prices i see have it over $100 without adding in shipping (while bestbuy.ca list it for $99 with in-store pickup, though of course it's out of stock). i didn't try Walmart yet, though i avoid that hellhole like the plague and would only go there if i was positive they had some in stock

Saw Future shop at Northland had the 360 PC and PS versions.

Of course i have a Wii....

Wonder when they will start actually having them in stock for the Wii to the point average Joe can just pick one up one day on a whim.

We had to go all the way to Tampa for ours

Okay, not actually, but there for the hockey game we managed to pick one up. I laugh at you suckers.

Just came back from Walmart at Northlands. While I was there they brought out a SKID of 360 GH3's and PS2 GH3's. Most of them were 360's. The stack was huge. It was such a big deal they announced it's availability over the P.A.

I dunno.
Soooo, I ended up finding one the other day and after going through 30 of 42 songs in Easy with around 90-95% notes hit i'm finding it easy.

However I go to Normal and I get destroyed. Tips? or just practice?

Oh yeah, I am loving the Crow. Seriously the most enjoyable game i've played in a while!

Practice practice practice... you will get better.

If you get stuck on a song on Med, move up to hard and play on there a bit then go back.

Raining Blood - Slayer is owning me. I rarely get by the 50% mark. It's the only song so far that's given me trouble.

edit: I got to 80 some% and lost it, I really felt like destroying my guitar against my wall. If only they weren't so pricey and rare.

I'm just going to start over on Medium and get used to that.

Yeah pretty hard one, first time i played on easy i lost 2 times in a row before i beat it. Ironically i found it alot easier on medium. Have enough problems with the other songs on hard so i haven't got there yet.

Going through medium alright at about 80% but the Tom Morrello battle owns me. My rock meter destroys his, but once it gets to sudden death I get raped.

Have you guys seen this vid?

Some kid playing "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert, can this even be legit? Looks ridiculous.

crazy, was playing a bit tonight with some friends and for me to play a song that intense for that long would require some serious performance enhancing drugs, my strumming stamina isn't near what it needs to be to even try that,

Almost done career on Medium, an Impossible task a few days ago. It's becoming natural almost. Except some songs need a good 10 minute practice.

Lou kind of owns me though, gotta practise that ASAP.

Also I tried online and didn't change my settings to look for Medium games and got raped by some guy who wanted to do expert mode.

It wasn't pretty.
