Does anyone else play GH or GH2 out there?
I had a friend come over to play GH2 the other day and he made a pretty good observation about the lack of a song timer to show remaining time on each song. I really think that this was a good observation and it could be really helpful if the gamer knew how much time was left.
GH3?

I played GH2 at a friends house and loved it. I have a 360 though so I guess I’ll be waiting for a long time……………. unless I just buy a PS2 off of Ebay.

Everyone should own a PS2 anyway. God of War, Katamari Damacy, Sly Cooper 1,2,3, Guitar Hero 1 (possibly 2 if you have friends to play with and two guitars) are all great games and there are tons of others in their Greatest Hits collection at $20 that are well worth the money.

I have never owned an Xbox and I sure like the 360. I am probably going to go get a 360 real soon, play that for a few months then pick up the PS3. I am eager to hear the reports from the crew about the Wii when they get them. Who knows maybe I will go for the trifecta!

Welcome Anonymous poster.
I always feel like a bit of a fraud when we talk about all the console stuff — Im a huge PC gamer, but not much of a console guy.
Last generation I had an Xbox, but no PS2 or NGC. This time around I am *definately* getting a Wii, and im still considering a 360, but the PS3 just isnt doing anything for me at the moment. Maybe as time goes on there will be a complelling set of games to force me into a purchase, but right now that just isnt the case.
Despite my upcoming Wii purchase, I am still a PC gamer through an through.

Hey Tony - Same goes for me, I am primarily a PC Gamer but I do spend a good deal of time with the PS2 for my sports and GH addictions. I do want the PS3 but the 360 is a tad cheaper and they are available lol.
My PC is in need of a complete overhaul so I gotta put money aside to pimp her our for Crysis.
I am totally turned off by the Wii initially but without actually playing one I will save my judgments for a later time.

I played Excite Truck at Gamestop the other day when I was picking up FF3 for my DS — it was crazy fun. You need to go to your local Gamestop and check it out!

I just might go and do that. I have a Gamestop nearby and my curiosity it starting to peak.

So what with the Wii being released this Saturday, are any of you guys gonna be able to drag yourselves away from your new treasures long enough to do the show this Sunday?
I’ll be interested to hear everyone’s reactions that evening.

Hopefully… although I may be playing the Wii while we record…..

Indagator: I don’t know if I’m even going to try to grab one yet. If I don’t happen to walk past one in a store I’ll probably just not stress about it till after New Years.

Im going to try and get one, but I refuse to camp out for it. I have nothing bad to say about the people that *are* camping — it just isnt worth that much trouble to me.
