Guitar Hero II release date?

ceejay

Smyths web site gives today as the release date for Guitar Hero II, but the XBox official site has no date specified. Does anyone know if it's out today, and if not, when it is out?

Thanks,

Ciarán.

bombidol

its out in the states i was playin it

koneko

This is the Xbox board, he isn't asking about about the PS2 version.

Ceejay, release date is April 6th IIRC.

I can't wait for this game... play.com have it for €100.99... Any ideas what the shops will be charging?

I play an actual explorer so I reckon I'll prefer this version, at least for the guitar aesthetically.

I'll beat Jordan on expert if it kills me... or breaks the axe!

koneko

Hmm, well, Game's website lists it at £70, which isn't far off €100.

Whether or not the shops will charge near that, is a good question.

Burning Eclipse

Was asking about this over the weekend.

Virgin: Not on their system.

Gamestop: €110 (ouch)

Game: Employee too mentally deficient to find out.

Xtravision: Didn't get a chance... Funkyflea???

I'll get it, but would like to do so for the cheapest price possible.

bombidol

was the 360 i was playin. Is it wireless no?

koneko

No, not wireless. It isn't out in the US yet either, release date there appears to be April 3rd.

Karmafaerie

It is wireless! Isn't it?

kensutz

No it is not wireless because Microsoft will not allow any other company to use their 2.4 wireless system.

Karmafaerie

Ahh.

qft,

You weren't playing a retail version I'd say bombidol?

Can anybody here beat Jordan on Expert, I'm at the pulling my hair out stage...

Makaveli

Ha, expert. I can barely beat songs on medium. For some reason I have a complete mental block on going from red to blue. I am terrible at this game.

It's priced £69.99 on their website. I just figured they'd have an Irish price, be it the euro equivalent or more.

Smyths are expecting them 6th April, and are €99.99.

They also have the service to text you when theyre in stock:

Nope thats not the case. I've asked my managers many a time but nothing is forthcoming.

GAME don't get prices uploaded to tills until the night before (and sometimes not until the day after so you can't sell games on launch day!!!).

I'd guess around 100 for it. Which isn't bad really. Have a few things to trade in anyways.
