Just got a tip off the Guitar Hero forums stating that you can pre-order Guitar Hero 2 (360) in-store at GameStop or EB. Anticipated release date is 3/2/07 and runs for $89.99 (game + guitar controller).

360 owners will get:

• 10 additional tracks
• Downloadable content (hopefully GH 1 tracks plus new ones!)
• Achievements
• online leaderboards

Heck yeah! I’m going to drop buy after work (screw the snow!) and plunk down my cash (or at least a reserve hold)!

UPDATE:

My plan-of-attack is as such: Get Guitar Hero 2 (360) at Wal-Mart (my wife works there so I’ll use our 10% discount card)…then I’ll trade a bunch of games in at GameStop and get an additional controller and maybe pre-order Halo 3 while I’m at it.

Update 2:

Now available on-line at ebgames.com (or gamestop.com – they’re the same)

What a weekend! We had one of Parker-Jon’s friends overnight and luckily he has Guitar Hero. So we asked if he’d bring it along. We played non-stop from about 5pm till about 11:30pm and a few more hours in the morning till they left. What a blast! I can’t wait to get this on the 360.

Tracy even got into it mostly playing “I Love Rock-n-Roll” and “Smoke on the Water”. I think she even tried “Iron Man” and a few others. It was quite comical, but she did okay once she go the hang of it.

I loved playing “Cowboys from Hell”, “More than a Feeling” (really good on that one on medium difficulty), “Thunderkiss 65″, and a slew of others.

The kids played just about everything.

I will say this…it’s all in the attitude!
