    The song list already kicks ass. Pantera, Sabbath, Zombie, Megadeth? That's exactly what Guitar Freaks is missing.

    Some more news.

    The controller isn't going to suck.
    http://www.guitarherogame.com/controller.asp

    Some other info on it as well there. $70 seems to be the price, but concidering its not just a drum or anything, its reasonable. Would I have prefered it to be $60? You bet, but I guess its just not possible (I bet Beatmania will be $70 as well)

    I don't know how you can verify that through a paid advertisement for the game.

    That was posted by heyricochet! And that still doesn't tell me if it's an improvement on the Topway's awful strum bar...guess it's gonna be a "wait-until-release" kind of thing.

    What I meant is that it isnt going to be the stock of crap guitars that are currently sold. I guess just saying it wont suck wasn't the best, but its not the topway ones.

    Is anyone else here a lefty? After I pre-ordered this, I realized that I might have problems using the guitar and playing the game left-handed. From the pic, it looks like I could easily move the strap knob to the other side of the guitar so I'd be able to wear it. Looks like using the whammy bar will still be a problem though.

    But does anyone know what the gameplay will be like? What I'm worried about is since I'm going to be holding the guitar backwards, are the notes on the screen going to be backwards too? What I mean is since the colors on the keys are green, red, yellow, blue & orange going left to right, are the notes on screen going to appear reversed to me? I haven't seen any screenshots of this game yet, so I have no idea how it'll play.

    Judging from the couple of screens I've seen, the notes will scroll like Frequency/Amplitude. And you raise a good question; Guitar Freaks has a code that changes the notes for left-handed players, I wonder if Harmonix thought about that.

    a bunch of local (providence) "underground" musicians/artists designed this game apparantly. solid dudes with legit rock pedigrees and good taste. that song list doesn't kill me but of course you are making concessions to sell this thing to the general public (and they managed to cram in some hot jams nonetheless).

    The game has been showing up at Best Buy lately. I picked it up around 11/1. It's fucking awesome. Go buy it. The end.

    On the GH forums -

    'Please be patient about a PAL release.

    We are in discussions with multiple European partners regarding a PAL release.
    Other territories are also under discussion/negotiation/planning.

    Please patient and stop emailing RO/HMX regarding it.
    We are working as quickly as possible on this.

    We didn't want to announce anything to misslead anyone but this is as much as we can say.'

    I got mine early through Best Buy as well. The game is AWESOME to say the least. The reviews are very positive for it as well, just check it out at Gamerankings.com ...

    The guitar works/feels well. I hope it lasts in the long run.

    The songlist is awesome!

    I haven't had this much fun with a game in quite some time. If you buy one game over the next few months - make it this one!
