    Will it cost more because the guitars come with it?

  4. 4 IMI4tth3w Aug 5th, 2007 at 1:00 am

    you can still use the original ps2 controllers am i right? i’ll probably still get one of these considering i’m sure they improved them a lot

  5. 5 guitar hero lover Aug 8th, 2007 at 11:25 pm

    good thing the ps2 gets the kramer guitar the fret notes are smaller then on the les paul

  6. 6 I love guitar hero Aug 10th, 2007 at 10:32 pm

    I keep asking this question over and over and it is yet to be answered… will the guitars from Rock Band work for guitar hero 3? I want to know because I love the guitars for Rock Band a lot more than the guitars for GH3.(no offense) I have GH2 anyway so my xplorer will work while I wait for an answer to that question…

  7. 7 jevanie Mozes Aug 11th, 2007 at 11:22 pm

    I don’t get it I want that game but they don’t sell it anywhere I checked in gamestop.But it’s not there !Is it rare or what?

  8. 8 jason Aug 12th, 2007 at 5:07 pm

    yes rock band guitars will work on guitar hero 3 BUT they will not fully work due to sound FX switch and lower fret buttons but will be a basic guitar where u can still play and guitar hero 3 controller will work on rock band also and as far as the date of the release for GH 3 i reserved it and it comes out Oct. 28 and if u dont belive me go to ign.com and type it in in the search bar Your #1 GH fan Jason

  21. 21 leisuregamer Aug 29th, 2007 at 2:32 am

    Yes u can just buy the game w/out the guitar. Seems odd that it’s going to be released on Oct. 28th tho, that’s on a Sunday.

  22. 22 gh3 Sep 1st, 2007 at 2:29 am

  29. 29 Yupp. Sep 9th, 2007 at 5:22 pm

    it sucks that ps2 gets kramer it looks just like the SG, i wish they had les paul

  30. 30 Spencer Sep 11th, 2007 at 4:54 pm

    PS2 NEEEEEEEEEEEEDS a new guitar. there is nothing wrong whit the kramer, but we need options people!

  31. 31 Sun Sep 12th, 2007 at 2:00 am

    does the guitar for the ps2 gh3 bundle come wirelessly? because that would freaking rock my boredass world.

  32. 32 Tremo Sep 15th, 2007 at 4:58 am

    does the wii version come with a controler or not and its oct 28 for Australia right?

  33. 33 dan Sep 18th, 2007 at 2:35 am

    guitar hero 3 can’t come out october 28th or october 21st because neither those days are tuesdays and stuff only comes out on tuesdays. My guess is its gonna be out october 23rd, becuase its a tuesday the only tuesday between sunday the 28th and sunday the 21st.

  34. 34 Jesse Sep 18th, 2007 at 4:39 am

  45. 45 Owen Sep 26th, 2007 at 10:08 pm

    October 28th I cant wait that long! You should switch the date to October 11th or 12th because I cant wait any longer. On the first night I get the game Im going to beat the whole thing and are you also putting on Billy Talent songs or Bloc Party songs on the game because that would be amazing!

  46. 46 Owen Sep 26th, 2007 at 10:12 pm

    Also what kinds of guitars are there in the game. You should make a flying T guitar that would rock!

  47. 47 Owen Sep 29th, 2007 at 4:01 pm

    put arctic monkeys songs on or porcupine tree

  48. 48 Mattimos Oct 1st, 2007 at 3:53 pm

    Man, I can’t wait til this comes out, you can find a list ofall the songs released on wikipedia. The tracks on gh3 are absolutely incredible, and modern too!!!

  77. 77 Shane Oct 23rd, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    Activision’s got a lot of experience with this sort of thing. You most likely won’t have a problem if you don’t preorder, though it is safer.

  78. 78 Cody Oct 25th, 2007 at 12:28 am

    I heard that they have delayed the release for GH3 in canada for the wii, can anyone confirm if this is true or false. Thanks

  79. 79 Kais Oct 25th, 2007 at 3:03 am

    ZOMG DRAGONFORCE!!!!

  80. 80 Fenix Oct 25th, 2007 at 5:53 pm

    False about the wii version being delayed in canada. Most best buys and futureshops have already recieved their shipment. Just won’t sell it till the 28th.

  81. 81 gh3 rocks!!! Oct 26th, 2007 at 11:35 am

    will the people who pre ordered gh3 get it on the 29 since the 28 is a sunday?? will the bundel include a carry bag cause i saw it on amazone.com but it doesn’t say it on best buy. :)

  82. 82 intruder Oct 26th, 2007 at 3:36 pm

    i whent to a game shop here in europe and they said that it will be availible november the 23th is this true or should i ask for mor information at more shops?

  83. 83 gh3 rocks!!! Oct 27th, 2007 at 1:51 am

    when will best buy ship gh3 ( pre ordered) will it be on the sunday (28) or the monday (29)

  84. 84 Jp Oct 27th, 2007 at 2:30 am

    It comes out the 28th!
    The guitars are wireless!
    You can buy the game without the guitar!

    P.S. If you go to buy it and you can’t find it, the following tip will help you know what to do: wait till the 28th

  85. 85 gh3 rocks!!! Oct 27th, 2007 at 2:29 pm

    how come some people got there shiped early???

  86. 86 Tee.Jay. Oct 27th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
