Default I want Guitar Hero II on my Xbox360 NOW!!

Wow, last weekend I had the opportunity to check this game out on a PS2 at a friends house. Now can't wait any longer for the release of it on the Xbox 360 (I don't own a PS2). What an awesome party game that is.

It was a special deal that they offered to the first 150 customers at £39.99 (at their cost), plus 10% off made it £35.99

It's a great game, even my pensioner parents got hooked on it at Christmas, it was quite a sight to see my 66 year old Mum rocking! My sister and her hubby are bringing their guitar over this weekend so that we can play two together

Apparently Gamestation are doing a deal where if you buy it instore on Saturday its £44.99. I'd give them a ring to confirm though. May be worth a look ?

Delayed from 5th to 13th April 07 overhere. Maybe they are trying to fix the whammy issues within this extra week?

Mine's one of the ones with the supposed problem. Not sure if mine's dodgy or not now. Sometimes seem to work and sometimes it doesn't. But that might just be me doing it wrong.

Finished the game on medium. Now about to try it on hard

WooHoo!!! I found a last copy yesterday evening in a store. Eventhough mine should also have the whammy problem, it works great so far. I have finished easy and medium and am currently playing on hard. Suddenly, I wish to have one additional finger. after playing for 7 hours straight, my 'button-hand' hurts like hell and needs to rest for a while. This game rocks so hard!

The fix works. Adjusted mine this morning and the whammy bar works fine now

Working through the hard levels now. Some of those guitar solos are just silly

I'm right-handed but which way around should I be holding the guitar ?

I find it much easier on lefty mode so I use my right hand on the fretboard. Don't have the co-ordination in my left hand to press all those buttons
