If you're stuck, there's always the option of buying another full set then passing on whatever is surplus to requirements later on.

It's £99.99 from play.com, then flog the game itself on and you're only paying a little over the odds effectively.

Everywhere appears to be sold out of the guitars on their own

The original guitar (from Guitar Hero II) was wired, and I assume is still compatible?

You could probably pick one of those up on the cheap on eBay, so that's another option

I thought rockband came with wired guitars (I know mine did), and that guitar hero comes with a wireless guitar (again, mine did).


You can use either guitar on rockband, but only the wireless guitar works on guitar hero?

I don't have GH on Xbox. Only PS2 and PS3


so what you are saying is... if I buy a GH wireless guitar for XBox then it will work on Rockband?

Delivery is slow as fuck but Woolworths have it with the game:

http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/...p?pid=50953457

If you need it quicker, phone either Fleet or Farnborough branches, reserve it and I may be able to get it and post it off this afternoon if they have one.

I shall rise above you being mean as you're clearly a little tired and missed your nap time.

Have you tired your local Blockbusters? They have those gamestation shops?

I'm pretty sure the Guitar Hero guitars work with RockBand. I'll have a look about the 'net.

Guitar Hero guitars are easy enough to get hold of, GH3 is only £40 most places these days with the guitar.

Yes, Xbox 360 GH guitars work with Rock Band but you'll lose the effects:

http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6183555/index.html

Game and Gameplay both have GH2 and GH3 in stock but that's online, I'm assuming you'll need it for tomorrow night so looks like a trip to the shops for you tomorrow.. or Blockbusters but it might not be £40..
