Got this yesterday after finally finding it at Best Buy. No one there in the video game dept had heard of it so they had to look it up in the computer. Finally we found it at the front of the store under a table of DVD's.

The game is awsome so far. My arms are too tired to play anymore for today. I agree with all the positive comments above.

Well , had to get rid of my guitar hero endcap the other day... to make room for teh x360 display, but I was happy... sold them all out. Word of mouth travels fast... and if your store is sold out, they got more comming in the next few days, so don't worry (talking BB stores) ... you all can become guitar heroes! Now to go back and finish up the hard mode.

Anyone got a favorite song? Currently , "No One Knows" by QOTSA right here, medium able to get around 94-96% complete, and co-worker wants me to bring the guitar to the show this week and get them to sign it... Also liking "even Rats" by The slip. Great song too!

Where can you get the $5 Best Buy coupon? Please post.

I'm guessing it was a rewards zone coupon or he used a gamer's gift card to buy it which gives you $5 off.

The $5 is GGC, just pick one up and use it. They should be in the games sec. or on the GC racks at the front.

I picked it up last night, gonna play around with it today.

Tried to get it this morning at Best Buy and they were out. They said they were going to get more in a few days. By then EB should have it if Best Buy doesn't on Tuesday.

Newegg.com has it for only $46.90 + $2.99 3-day shipping. Since they are not going to release the game without the guitar this year it may seem as this is a great deal.

Played it at my friends house last night and we stayed up till 4am going through the normal and hard difficulties. Definately an A+ game... came right home and placed an order through newegg. Thursday can't come soon enough.

Anyone beat it on Expert yet? I'm half way thru Medium and it's getting pretty hard. I can only get 3 stars on most of the songs. But I'm getting better. I tried Expert and got my ass handed to me after 30 seconds.

Just thought I'd share my prized possession, as a huge Harmonix fan.

That is beautiful....

Just had a gamenight at work, and it GH was the biggest thing there. We are getting in a few more and they have already been rainchecked by co-workers.

Who signed it?

After going to 2 Best Buys and wasting a lot of gas, I went to EB and paid in full to have it reserved. Should get it tomorrow.

Nickdawgy,
The guitar was given to me at a local retail vendor show by the Guitar Hero reps. Apparently they were planning on raffling it off, but realized my enthusiasm for both the game and Harmonix themselves so they gave it to me instead, figuring it would go to someone who would actually appreciate it. Which I do. They said it was signed by as many Harmonix developers they could grab, including some of the musicians in the game. All told there are roughly 25 signatures including a few on the sides and bottom. I honestly can't make out most of them, but I don't really care, it's easily my most treasured piece of memorabilia. May sound geeky, but considering how many hours I spent playing Frequency and Amplitude with friends over the last few years, and how many hours we've alREADY put into Guitar Hero over the last week, an autographed guitar by the developers responsible for it all is HUGE for me.

Hey, it's not geeky, it's really cool. Congrats, man

I picked it up last night at Best Buy (got the last one). Its a really fun and addictive game. I played for about 2 hours last night until my left hand was completely sore. I kept saying to myself "ok, just 1 more song". Its pretty tough too, I started off on medium and had to go back and switch to easy until I get the hang of it better.

is the game too hard for kids? 12 & 9 y/o's?

It depends on how big their hands are. I could see it being hard with small hands to hit all 5 buttons as fast as you have to hit them in the harder levels of this game. If you play the game on Easy it isn't so bad since it only uses 3 of the buttons. But the guitar's buttons are spaced for adult hands.

Yes.

picked this up today and breezed through easy mode. I'm on Medium difficulty now and its pretty damn difficult. i can't imagine what extreme will be like.

My buddy brought this over yesterday and before we knew it, it was 1am. Even my friends who don't like rock music were going wild with it. I'm seriously considering getting a ps2 for this game. You feel just like a rock star.

wow you're right! I went to BB to get one today and they were all sold out. granted they didn't get many to begin with but still. I shall check again later in the week.

Is this in any way similar to Um Jammer Lammy? Probably not...

Best buy stores got a new shipment the other day... go and grab some!

I hopefully will be getting this on the 16th, and will tell you what i think of it than. I am looking forward to it greatly though as I am a huge fan of Freq. and Amp.
