Just wondering if you picked up GH3 or not, had a few friends pick it up for 360, although they do have a wii, one confessed it was for the achievement points, i can see how these achievement points would work well with a goal oriented game like this to increase the life of the game but the guitar for the wii looks better IMO, also you can buy it standalone for the 360 and use the old guitar so the $$ saving aspect is there as well.

any way back on topic, did you pick it up, is it everything you hoped for?

it does take a little while to pick up on eh Ben, hehe. achievements i can see why it got rated slightly higher for the 360, too bad the 360 doesnt have seperate speakers and rumble, but wii also doesnt have downloadable content, so i guess both the systems r even the gameplay aspect is once again there for wii and the expansion aspect 4 the 360.
I went to best buy at about noon on the 28th and i literally saw no PS3 versions, im not even kidding, they had like, 30 PS2 and 8 or 9 wii versions, about the same amount of 360 versions but no PS3 versions, maybe they werent on display or maybe...they didnt order any...maybe. I had to resist the urge to ask to avoid getting wierd looks from people with the wii version already in my hands.

The hardest song in the game, for my friend, a hard level player (had GH2), failed the song on medium in the first few minutes, id love to see someone get perfect on it on expert.

P.S. sorry for writing so much, i got carried away.

Interesting fact i just came across on this subject

"Based on the latest stats from Amazon.com from yesterday, the Wii version of Guitar Hero III has been ranked as the No. 1 offering in the Computer & Video Games division, beating out the 360 (No. 7) and PS3 (No. 40) versions of the game. Could Guitar Hero III be the third-party title to prove that the Wii isn’t just for the casuals?"

I got this tid-bit from WiiNintendo.net, but the actual article is linked below

Even tho the game can be hard i think its popularity comes form the fact that the hardcore crowd consider it a casual game that they can get people who dont normally play games to play ala Wii Sports.
