I was going to do the same thing for both this and Gears until I found out that at Best Buy, the $5.00 you put down for the pre-order does not count towards the final purchase price of the game. I'm going to risk that Best Buy's going to stock more copies of the game than just pre-orders.

For those ordering online, Gameexpress.com is selling the bundle for $68.99 w/ no tax, it basically works out to free shipping.

What do they do with your $5? Around Saint's Row pre-orders, I was told that the money you put down goes towards the game.

Ummm, they keep it? I was surprised as well, but the salesperson I spoke to insisted that the $5 did not go towards the final purchase price. I asked "then what am I paying for?" and she responded that I would be paying for the right to have a copy reserved for me and waiting on the first day. Of course, there's always the possibility that she just didn't know the answer or was wrong. If you find out different, please let us know.

The $5 goes towards the game. But I found out today that even though you are paying for them to reserve the game, my local Best Buy doesn't set the games aside. I wonder what's the purpose? I just asked my one friend at the store to hold one for me or I may just try Walmart before I head to work.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

I know this isn't about GH2, but there's been plenty of original GH talk in this thread, so....

I finally 5-starred Cowboys from Hell!!!!

.....On medium. And believe me, to me that's an accomplishment. The funny thing is, I wasn't even paying attention to my score. That was because I missed the first EIGHT notes of the song! I figured I wasn't going to do anything on this run through, so I didn't even bother looking. I was still using Star Power like I should, and I knew I was hitting long runs of those chords, but I still thought it was pointless. All of a sudden I look up after the solo and see over 160,000 points - 10,000 more than my previous top score for the ENTIRE song! I still don't really know how I did it, but ended up with around 180,000 and a 5-star rating.

Only BaTM remains to be 5'd....but I've also worked my way up to (passing) Cochise on Expert. Between this and newly released FFXII, there's absolutely no way I'm going to finish this game before the sequel drops. Oh well - I'm having too much fun to care.

Dave Navarro Loves Guitar Hero II
Meet the infamous Janes Addiction/RHCP/Panic Channel guitarist this coming
November 2, 2006 - Former Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Pepper and current The Panic Channel guitarist Dave Navarro loves Guitar Hero II.

Why else would he give up his free time to help promote the game and usher in a new era of wannabe axe wielders this coming Monday in Los Angeles? (Okay, Navarro's scorching solos are featured in the game in the form of Jane's Addiction's "Stop").

Navarro will be on hand for the Guitar Hero II Midnight Madness which is taking place at Best Buy in West Los Angeles, 11301 W Pico Blvd. (at Sawtelle Blvd.). He will happily sign Guitar Hero SG guitar controllers to any and all fans who purchase a copy of GHII.

Awesome!!! My best is 4 stars on medium. I've done 3 stars on Hard, but that was ONE time. LOL

same here...can't get more than 4 stars on CFH or BATM on medium. I don't even play hard. I just can't get used to moving my hand. It took me a couple of weeks just to able to use my pinky for the 4th fret button. I'm still having fun on medium so I don't care.

Word.

I always play on Medium. Mainly because when God made me..he gave me the fatal flaw of not being able to only use my first and third fingers to hit the Red/Blue combos consistently and...it's too damn much for me to slide my hand down.

That being said...I too have hit 5 stars on Medium for Cowboys from Hell. My favorite song to jam on there is Cheat on the Church though..BADASS SONG!

If you have got 5 stars on Cowboys from Hell, even on easy, then you my friend are a true GUITAR HERO. I don't think I can do 5 on easy...LOL

And yes, it's rare I even attempt Hard. It's just impossible on some songs.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

I was just checking out the offical site: http://www.guitarherogame.com/

If you go to Tracklist on the top you can listen to a bunch of the songs. Can't wait to play Message In A Bottle.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

Aww you guys suck!

I've five starred the first four venues on Hard, and am up to Crossroads on Expert (only five starred a handful on Expert).

Going back to Medium is painful...so slow, so boring! Play on Hard at least, guys!

Oh, I play on it.....I said before that I've passed everything up to Expert Cochise. Passing and 5*'ing are two entirely different things, though.

I'm 5'ing the Medium songs because I've kind of hit a wall trying to progress on Expert and doing better than 3* on Hard.
