Actually no, in this case you're wrong. Pretty much every game store in the nation has it ready for sale next week. They cants ell it however because it isnt in their system. They dont control when it goes in, it's controlled by a higher authority. I would know this cause a friend of mine works at Gamestop, another friend at Hastings, and another Wal-Mart, they all said the same thing. They can have it in stock, but if its not in the system they cant sell it...legally. They have rules which they have to follow, let them do their job and quit being a dick about it. arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/10/26/5761If they can't do it, then why were they? Sucks being wrong doesn't it? Nowhere in that post/blog/whatever does it say that they're actually selling it. It's implied, but never expressly stated. The store from which the picture was taken could likely be similar to yours in the sense that they have it out but aren't selling it yet.

Somhwo I knew you would bring that up. Um, those were packed back up. Every Wal-Mart did that, except mine because my friend who works there saw them opening the box and told them it's not supposed to be on selves until Nov 7th. He then had the Wal-Marts in the rest of our state called so they dont put it on sale, which they all had to pack it back up. Also anyone who tried to buy one couldnt. Why? ITS NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM. Yet again we come back to that rule. If its not in the system, you cant buy it legally. Maybe tomorrow or Monday they will, but I'm not saying it will be. Its currently in stock to be sold at my local gamestop and my friend that works there cant even buy it. You can bitch and moan as much as you want about them not selling it to you or bring up places they couldnt even sell an item on a shelf all you want. It wont get you anywhere. Check your local gamestores tomorrow. You might get lucky. I know I'll be doing it.
On another note. I saw a video for "Jordan" by Buckethead, wow.

There are posts all over both the Guitar Hero game forums and gamefaqs/ign boards where people have bought the game from Wal-Mart early. You guys are way closed minded.

I picked up the game today from a local retailer (game champ, i don't think they're like all over), who puts things out a few days early if it's that popular. it's freaking awesome.
"Six" by All That Remains is just inhuman on Expert. my hands still hurt.

Say whatever you wish, but to believe it's reasonable to be pissed off because your store wouldn't fully break street date is foolish.

I understand where he is coming from. I mean, put yourself in his position. Wal-Mart puts out a game that you are really excited for. You go to purchase it, and they tell you that they cant sell it to you. I know I would be pissed also.

Well, I'm going Guitar Hero II hunting today. Hopefully I can find a place that has it out and will actually sell it to me.

I just got back from a few stores, none of which either had it in, or could sell it to me. My Walmart also had it out, but cant sell it until Tuesday, the same with Circuit City. I wish I had a mom and pop store, but unfortunately, I dont. I guess I'll just be waiting until Tuesday.

Well, I needed something to hold me over, so I bought the PSM with the GH2 demo. YYZ kicks my ass on hard. The rest are pretty easy on hard though.

I got it about 2 hours ago. Its so damn good, and Im only on like the 3rd tier of songs on Medium. I was going to start on hard, but I wanted to get used to the songs a little. I played a lot of them on hard though, and they really upped the difficulty from last years. I can still get through them on hard, but its more difficult.

Today is officially the worst day ever, I Woke up sick so i called off work (Actually being sick was an excuse i was really sick but i really wanted to play GH2) Anyways After many failed attempts at bugging my mom to take me out to get GH2 My friend said she wanted to go out to eat so we went to gamestop while we were out so i could pick up my reserved copy, Anyways i went in and picked it up along with a copy of the First one (Since some heartless bastard stole mine) anyways i got both and came home and put it in my ps2 "Disk Read Error".......Wtf? So i figured i'd keep trying.......Same thing, After about 20 minutes of trying i gave up, My ps2 is dead im so pissed off beacause ive been wanting to play this game so bad, I tried to get my mom to take me up to return the game beacause obviously i cant use it and im too cheap to spend the extra money to buy another ps2 to play it but she wouldnt take me up there so now im pissed off and i cant play guitar hero 2, Im gonna go up tomorrow and return GH2 And Trade In my PS2-Xbox And Games for store credit, I Dont play video games hardly anymore and this is the only one i wanted to play, it, I'll just use the store credit for a zune.

Wow. I've been playing for about 3 hours and some of these songs are amazingly hard. But then, I've never picked up a guitar in my life and I never played the first game. I'm glad they have the practice section or I'd never make it through this game!

I'm glad they have the practice section or I'd never make it through this game! It seems like they upped the difficulty on each setting for the new one. In the original, I could play all of the songs on hard easily, with Cowboys From Hell being the only exception. In the new one, I can only play a few songs on hard.

I was going to do it on Easy, then go through all the difficulties but after getting 100% on the first song I just went straight to Expert, lol, and I'm at 27/40 songs complete.
