Has anyone here preordered any guitar hero games from Red Octane?
I'm thinking about preordering GH3 from them, but I wanna make sure it'll arrive on the release date.

I have, I recommend them over anyone else selling it to be honest. I got GH II the day before it came out and some people even got it sooner than that. I'm not saying that will happen again, but I can basically guarantee that it will arrive on time.

The day before it was released? Hmm... Anyway I went to their website and people keep saying that all they can do is say things about Rock Band and tell how their guitar is wireless... heres what it says:

Guitar Hero WIRELESS Les Paul Guitar Controller
Strap on your Guitar Hero? WIRELESS Les Paul Guitar Controller, power on, and CRANK IT UP! Personalize your guitar with new interchangeable faceplates available for the Les Paul guitar only (additional faceplates sold separately).

Edit: I didn't change the WIRELESS to caps either...

Thanks Paska :D

And R0ck3r, how did that relate to my question? I am utterly at a loss...

Which shipping did you pick?

Because from them to my house, regular ground shipping is $4.00

and if I pick like, one or two day shipping it ends up being $40..

Just do normal ground shipping, they will ship them out early to get them to your home on time don't worry.

You picked normal, and got it on the release date?

Yea of course, I wasn't going to pay $40 for rush delivery, which is ridiculous by the way and probably has to do with discouraging people from getting anything but ground.

Sweet, I'm pre-ordering from Red Octane then. You get a sweet bonus too.

A keychain, a special guitar strap, and a guitar carrying case.

I pre-ordered GHE:RT80s from RO and got it the day of release. But it came at 4:35pm. I could've just gone to a store if I had known UPS would be that late. That'll vary from person to person how soon it'll be delivered, obviously.

This is my problem at the moment too. I have to pay off the $100 left on Halo 3: LE, then I can start saving for GH3. And after that, the rest of my funds go to Rockband.

Yes it arrives on release date.

I'm in boston and I believe it shipped from Cali and still got here on release date. They also throw in coupons and other goodies usually.

Don't all of the GH3 bundles have free shipping?

"Free Ground Shipping

What the hell is the point of this?

For the people who want to be able to switch from a Zakk Wylde bullseye finish to a sunburst finish and back without using a new sticker every time?
