Guitar Hero 2 on XBox 360

WiredWorm · Post by **WiredWorm** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:18 pm 0

I've heard a murmering from the internets that Gamestation are offering Guitar Hero 2 on Xbox 360 for Â£44.99 instead of it's usual RRP of Â£69.99. Apparently the offer is only available this Saturday coming though.

The offer seems just too good to be true and their website is still advertising it at the full RRP.

Has anyone else heard this rumour?

I've just spoken to Gamestation and have reserved my copy of GH2 for the 360 at Â£59.99

EDIT:
The Â£44.99 rumour is bollocks apparently...

Thanks for confirming that - it did seem too good to be true...........

*Desperately resists the temptation to buy GH2 anyway*

At least - I'm pretty sure he said Â£59.99 :L

I bypassed this title completely on the PS2, but the 360 guitar was too cool for me to let it go a 2nd time...

Plus DLC could extend the life of the title..

We'll see

Does anyone here actually play the guitar for real and has also used/played GH/GH2?

I'm a musician of the real kind and I look at GH and it makes me go bleh - horrible pretend make believe thats going to feel and be absolutely horrible next to the real thing. I just can't get my head around it.

Is it as horrible to a real muscicanas I fear it is or can you actually get passed that and enjoy it even though you're hankering for 6 strings and a good amp?

I play guitar for real and have just got GH2 for my 360 but i have been playing it on my mates ps2 and i have to say its nothing like playing the real thing, but what it does do well is make party gaming a bit more fun, i know its expensive but if you get a couple of guitars and a load of beer you can have a right good laugh, but its nothing like plugging my les paul in and blasting some metallica out for real, i would recommend it if you just want a bit of fun.

It almost slipped under my radar too - but alas i've just picked up Crackdown so it'll have to wait a month or so before I pick it up.....

Hopefully by then some more tracks might be available on the marketplace. I've also read elsewhere that there's a socket on the 360 guitar which looks like an RJ45 connector; apparently there's talk about pedals being available in the future which will link into this port and extend the game......

Well, i've got the fella - looked like a complete plum walking home with it under my arm let me tell you.

Buttons definitely smaller, and there is indeed a crazy mystery socket on the bottom. I'l see how the baby plays later

It's great fun. First GH game I've played, with not owning a PS2.

Gonna get a lot of playtime

The Mrs walked through the door with this earlier today

Gibson Explorer mind and not the Flying V I was hankering after but it'd be churlish to moan. Will be caning this later on.

Do they have two different guitar models then?
