Guitar Hero 2: Tonight. Midnight.
Okay, I struck out Saturday night when I attempted to get GH2 from Wal-Mart. A fairly bright, and polite guy was there and informed me that although they have 10 or 12 copies in the back, he couldn’t sell them till April 3rd. I pleaded that it’s in the Sunday ad and that 3 different employees (obviously unaware of street dates) said that I could stop in and pick one up. Well, I couldn’t. Bummer.
Either way, I’ll be there tonight, at midnight to get my copy. Now it’s a matter of finding another controller. I’ve called around and no one seems to know if they’ll have additional controllers right away. So I may be forced to order one. Which kind of ticks me off since the hardware manufacturer, RedOctane, was selling a multiplayer pack (game and two guitars) plus free shipping and a free gig bag if you pre-ordered, but since I get a 10% discount at Wal-Mart, I figured I’ll just save a few bucks and get it at release. Oh well, what can you do?
I’ll post some pictures once I get it.
