Gsmestops around here mentioned a midnight launch.

Is Walmart going to be selling it at midnight? *Paging Unclebob to electronics.*

We're selling it at midnight.  We got in 60 PS2 Bundles.

Only 6 Wii Bundles though.  I would recommend getting there at Midnight for the Wii version.  That's just me though.

My Walmart is also starting at Midnight. I have no idea about how many Wii versions they have. I'm thinking about showing up an hour early.

Well, who got it?  I'm absolutely horrible at it, but I want to try the online mode.

Heh, I amuse myself.

I would actually contribute to this topic, but it seems I'm a bit late to do that.

Sometimes I line up for the latest chicken sandwich at the chicken sandwich store in chicken sandwich land. Three hundred years in advance. Sick beats.

I couldn't hold out for the Wii version, I got the 360 version a couple days ago. I already have 2 guitars anyway.

Is Activision really afraid of RockBand or has this always been in GH manuals?

They can't even really do that, can they?

Next time I turn the game on I'll post my friend code so we can jam. I'm playing through on easy right now.

I was at Target earlier, and wanted to see if they had any copies of the Wii version.  When I got there, the lone sales associate in the electronics section was standing with his head in his hands trying to explain to three mothers that they had no copies of the game left.  I felt kind of bad for him.  It's still October and parents are already clamoring to get their kids gifts.

Woah, I guess it's a good thing that I pre-ordered then!

Funny, i walked into the Target by my school. THey had three copies for the Wii, and at least three of the PS3, 360 and PS2 versions. At best buy right near by, probably 40+ copies of the Wii version.

I'm ready to rock for those who are looking for someone to add.

I like that this game keeps you sign in online all the time after you initially choose to do so.  Now you can play without waiting in the lobby.  (at least it seems that way)

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but has anyone seen anything as to when they are releasing the extra controllers?

I'm curious about the same thing.  Player 2 rocking on just a Wiimote isn't exactly a fun time.

I'm lucky, my roommate also bought Guitar hero 3 for himself, and we know another guy... so we're already at one extra Wii guitar!

GHIII is my first GH outing and I am loving this game so far!

I've always had a thing for rhythm games and so far this lives up to the praise the series has gotten.

Any word on how the Wii version of GH III is doing? I'm sure the 360 version will come out on top but I am hoping the Wii version comes at second, despite friend codes and locked online content.

Actually, I'm betting the PS2 version is on top.

I was thinking that myself, but I see the 360 version doing extremely well.

Since you work at a Wal mart any word on how the game is doing?
