I just got my copy at the local gamestop. All I can contribute at this time is that the codes for the two song and the $25 Guitar Center coupons where printed on the receipt.

Got the game at around 1 AM didn't stop playing till 3:30 AM

I loved when those little harmonics appeared in High and Dry... So awesome

What platform are you planning on using to play it Ryder? I looked at importing but the PS3 version isn't PAL compatible and the 360 version is region locked :/ Do you have a US console or something?

May get the PC version when it's released but hopefully we have a European release date by then. It won't be the same without a sofa!

Though I've heard the PAL/NTSC thing isn't an issue with modern tv's over HDMI. Be interested to see how you do it

[Ryder35]

I have a US playstation 3. It should work on a UK one though. The PAL issue is a smokescreen, any modern HDTV should be fine using HDMI or (I assume) component. I have a US PSN account as well so just need to buy PSN cards over the net. I imported RB1 and 2 this way and purchased all my dlc on the US store.

Ah brilliant ok! I may have to invest then.. Cheers

My guess for DLC prices is probably $2-$3 per track. I would guess $2, because that's the going price and they don't have to track drums and vocals are lackluster at best (not that they're essential).

In the meantime, I'm brutalizing my fingers. I can't wait 'til you're all playing. Review should be up tomorrow.

Not to mention non-master access to songs is usually cheaper, since it doesn't cost the studios anything.

So I played for two hours or so (cleared about 30 songs, all at over 95%).
Tab is very easy to read, you see strings highlighted ahead of time and view backs down if there are drastic jumps between frets.
I really don't like that you have to start with really basic single notes on songs instead of going gang ho straight into expert just like RB3 pro lets you.
Overall, tons of fun - interface is well done.
Audio lag is pretty bad though if you're going to use optical out (through your home theater system), delay is very distracting so going analog is probably way to go.
Earning new guitars (real historical models), pedals is a cool touch.
Didn't try guitarcade yet, enough for today.
