That too
Rock Band is not sold out. I see it in every store I go into. Went to Target, Wal-Mart and 3 Gamestops today. Rock Band? Check, check, check, check and check.
The fact remains, regardless of factors(price & availability) GHIII isn't competing with Rock Band at all and Neversoft/Activision can charge whatever they please for DLC until Rock Band becomes a major player.

[quote name='bigdsinferno']well..i agree that guitar hero isn't a piece of shit it's just guitar hero II, but not as much as fun and nothing really added (online isn't fun).
The dlc, however, is complete shit... pay more for shittier songs.. they don't include vocals or drums, so i'm not sure how they can continue to justify their prices. I guess they're still under this veil that allows them to feel that they are not competing with rock band.[/QUOTE]
The songs themselves don't have the vocal or drum tracks, or are you saying that you can't play them because it's GH? if it's the former, I guess I won't be downloading songs.

Yes because at first the red button didn't work either. I already have the explorer from guitar hero 2 bundle. I read somewhere that changing the batteries may work. I will try that next. Then try to get it replaced from Red Octane I guess.

At first, I was going to go through RMA hell with RedOctane, but a friend told me to try something and it worked for me.
If you're looking at the guitar from the front, seeing the buttons and everything in front of you, does the neck wiggle from side-to-side, slightly? If it does, try moving it like that while the game's running, usually before a song starts. Hold down the button and see if that effects it at all. In my case, it'd make the button flicker between working and not working. I shoved a tiny piece of paper towel in between the neck and the body while sliding it into place, right next to the d-pad and guide button. You only need a tiny amount, a small corner will be just fine. All you need is enough to keep it from wiggling out of place. It may differ on your guitar, or just plain not work at all, but since doing it, mine plays perfectly.
Let me know if you have any luck or need any more clarification.

I agree. I think part is that the gameplay is just not as good, though the tracklist is better, and part of it is that for me personally I was still improving during gh1 and gh2, but now I can 5 star most of hard and expert and the songs I have left to improve on I don't want to spend the time to improve on. Many will disagree but I think the music games have gone downhill since gh2. GH3 is simply not as fun, and Rock band is fun, but the guitar parts are so boring and the few solos are impossible with the RB guitar. The only good thing that came was the drums.

I know it isn't the most ethical thing, but GS will take anything back until the 14th under the "Christmas" return policy. Tell 'em you got it as a gift and get a new one. They'll probably just ship it back to Red Octane anyway.
My brother did this last night actually. He said the guitar neck is phenomenally better. A lot more snug than the previous one.

They don't happen to sell Vista there do they? I have an unopened copy of Vista Home Premium I'd love to offload for credit somewhere.
[quote name='KoalaBob']Hello, my fellow 360 CAGers. ^_^
I bought Guitar Hero 3 last night, and it plays as good as possible, but when I attempt to download the XBL update it errors out and says to check my connection. My connection works, as I can sign-in to my XBL account, and play COD4. So, basically, I can't play online until I get this update downloaded. I also googled this inquiry to no result.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance. ^.^[/QUOTE]
I think you're stuck until MS fixes whatever is going on with live

[quote name='Shimrra']I just got it and curious about something. When I connect the neck of the guitar its locked into position but it feels shaky, loose if not. Is this common with everyone else that has it? or should I take it back and exchange it for another one?[/quote]
Hmm...Mine's pretty solid. You might want to try another one.

am i the only one that just didn't like guitar hero 2 that much? compared to the first, where i enjoyed all but a few songs, i really had no desire to play over half of the playlist more than once. that and the quality of the covers seemed to take a rather dramatic nose dive. i legitimately played the RAtM and Lamb of God songs once and swore to never do it again. it always felt like they put more care into the first than the rest, compared to the encore edition especially. 3 has been the only one since that i've had as much fun with. not to say neversoft has bested harmonix in terms of gameplay, as the note charts do have the occasional tendency to stray into "WTF" territory on expert, but it still gives me more enjoyment than 2 ever did.

So has anyone tried to make a custom faceplate for the guitar yet? I was thinking of picking up a blank, solid colored one and taking it to one of those stands in the mall with the guy doing the airbrush junk and trying to get him to customize it. I wonder how it'd come out.
//edit: Holy crap, look at this custom Jimi faceplate on ebay
That's pretty awesome

Hm, where do you go for online co-op career? Is there like a full co-op online mode? Or is it offline only? I know you can do songs as a quick play on co-op online but is there even a career mode? Just got the game yesterday and wanted to play co-op with my friend.. I think we only did quick play though.

Damn, really? 
I remember seeing something in the loading screens that says "Don't have a friend to play co-op with? Play over xbox live" or something to that effect.. guess they just meant quick play oh well.

There's a video of this on teh YouTube, but I don't feel like finding it:
1. Turn on easy expert and no fail.
2. Go to quickplay.
3. Play TTFAF on expert for about 30 seconds or so.
4. Quit out to the main menu.
5. Sign out of your XBL profile.
6. Sign right back in.
7. Go to the boss battle you wish to clear.
8. Play it and watch the boss go down in a few seconds.

[quote name='evanft']Yeah...nope. GH2 far exceeds GH1 in every conceivable way.[/quote]
i can concede that the gameplay mechanics were better, since hammer-ons and pull-offs were actually do-able for the average gamer after they "fixed" them, but the setlist...my god. of course, that obviously comes down to personal preference. the covers that time around just seemed damn near universally awful to me, with only a few exceptions (Wolfmother and Butthole Surfers come to mind).

Ya, I think as long as you don't hear the actual version first you'd be ok. But after you get really good at the songs, and then listen to the real versions. Yikes.

mines a little shaky too.. if you push the neck in, that's when you'd notice it the most. i've had it since the game came out and this hasn't seemed to create any problems.
[quote name='jakehoss']I havent bought GH3 yet, Have they dropped the DLC Ball big time again ????[/quote]
They never even had the ball to begin with.
Were the songs on the original GH game all by the original artists, or were some of them covers? I can't find the Official GH Thread in the PS2 forum.

Just found out that this is coming to me on Goozex. Can't wait to play it!
OK, so I beat One and Number of the Beast today after finishing Cliffs of Dover yesterday. Now I'm stuck on Raining Blood.
Are there any tips to get past the mosh at the beginning? It doesn't look like I can build up star power to help me, as I did for the fast solos in One.
If it's a matter of just slugging away in practice then I'm game. I just wanted to see if there's anything I'm overlooking first.
Edit: Bah! I suppose I should mention I'm on the hard career.
