I thought for sure it would take a few months longer to hit than the PS2 version and end up as a spring '07 release, but this says it's a "holiday release". Killer.

New Controller and downloadable content?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I hope the X-Plorer looks nothing like an Explorer

Here's the new guitar.

And that's why Red Octane filed suit with that other company.

Rad. Though, I was gonna get the second game with guitar so I could play the original again, since my first guitar broke. Fuck it, though. XBL and downlaodable content wins.

:eep:


anyone want to buy some wireless GH controllers for the PS2 :blank:

Yep, 360 version for sure.

I hope they bring the songs from Guitar Hero 1 to GH2 Xbox 360. That way, I can forget about buying GH1 on PS2.
