Par,

Amazon Prime FTW! I preordered through there, although I'm concerned they won't be able to fullfil all of them right away.

Couple of problems with Amazon; first, they are NOW listing the special edition (full kit) for $249.99, which is a full $80 higher than anyone else. I swear it was $169.99 when I checked the other day. Even worse-

Rock Band purchase policy
Rock Band is in very high demand and the initial industry supply will be limited. Amazon.com is accepting pre-orders for this item; however, we will not be able to fulfill all pre-orders immediately when the item is released. We will fulfill orders as inventory becomes available, and we expect that all pre-orders will be fulfilled by mid-December. The estimated delivery date for these pre-orders may not be accurate when the order is placed, but we will fulfill pre-orders as quickly as possible as we receive inventory of this item.

[censored] that noise. I am going to call Fry's the millisecond they open on Tuesday and try to reserve a copy. Barring that, I will order from somewhere OTHER than Amazon and bite the bullet on the overnight shipping charges.

Yeah, I see Amazon only has 3rd party sellers listed now, hence the prices. I checked my pre-order though, and it says I should get it by the 23rd, for $169.

Might have to see what happens on eBay though at this rate!

Screw Ebay. Come hang out with me at Best Buy tonight and guarantee you get it! I am taking tomorrow off to sleep in and then play. I may have a problem.

QFT. I love walmart. I don't understand the people who go to EB games or whatever stores to get games. Walmart owns all.

Also, my earlier concerns about the lefty's were laid to rest. The plug for the strap actually screws out and you can place it on the opposite side of the guitar allowing you to flip it perfectly. Love you Rock Band! And drums on hard is [censored] hard!

Can anyone wiht the black gibson guitar for 360 on guitar hero 3 confirm if their plug unscrews also for leftys? Thanks.

I wouldn't go that far. I have tried the 3 Walmarts in my area (within reasonable driving distance). All three do not have the full package (360 version), they do have plenty of the actual game. One of the stores has the full version in stock, but are not allowed to distribute it until Friday. WTF is that nonsense.

Not sure if it unscrews. But there is an additional peg on the neck that I assume is for leftys.

I went to Best Buy at midnight and they were out of PS3 versions [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] They did, however, say they'd get more within 3 days and will give a $50 gift card for the inconvenience if I come back and buy it from them later.

This gives me a few more days to beat my head against the wall that is Raining Blood on expert in GH3....

Went this morning at 10. My Best Buy was overstocked. Playing through X guitar now. This guitar feels sooooooooo weird compared to the GH3 Les Paul. I've butchered so many solos just trying to find the solo buttons. Just a matter of getting used to things I guess. Also, no hyperspeed makes me a sad panda.

The cold sucked, but I got mine last night =P
Got there about 11PM, and got the 97th 360 version...they only had 102! Luckbox time.

Played a bit last night and had a blast. Buddy came over today and we were rocking a band (apparently Donkey Punch isn't an appropriate band name for Live so we had to play locally!). Anyone having issues with the kick pedal? It only seems to work sporadically if at all. I went as far as picking it up and squeezing it with my hands to make sure I was getting it pressed all the way. Very strange.

Any advice?
