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.

This is the case with my BB as well. When I called this morning the woman on the other end said they had "plenty." A friend of mine just went and picked up a copy for me while I'm at work. Looking forward to rock out with my [censored] out.

So hows the game? Has anyone tried the singing yet or had 3 people or more playing an entire song?

This game is awesome period.

If GH3 came out just 3 weeks later, I wouldn't have bothered to buy GH3 all together. At least I can salvage the wireless guitar controller in my cramped apartment.

I just played on LIVE with 2 guitarists and 1 drummer. Waited for a while for a singer but never showed so we just started. I love it. Worked flawlessly on LIVE.

The guitar feels weird to me coming from GH controllers. The strum bar is hard to strum down and my arms/hands are tired only after a few songs. It also doesn't click like the GH ones. The frets feel like they are closer together so I kept screwing up sliding up and down the neck looking for the missing fret.

Also, now that I know what those 5 solo buttons do, I could probably do without the new guitar.

Brag: Just got an e-mail from Amazon that it shipped my order, should arrive on Wednesday. Have fun in the cold though 'Par! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

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?

i like it. just played over a friends house, me him and his brother. it was very cool. the only beef i have so far about the drums is just the way they are set up... like snare hi/hat etc., i wish that stuff was programmable because i play the drums in real life and they aren't set up how i'm used to, so it took a little adjusting.

So no one's really using the mic? I'm curious how they incorporate the singing into the game.
