lol. I don't think there's left handed guitars.

As for the price, I think the original price is somewhere between $130-$160 for the versions of Guitar Hero 3 with Guitar.

real guitars can be left handed - they just reverse the string order.

i guess you can reverse the button order on the GH3 guitar to make it left handed.

Lol. I knew that.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. You guys should check your options in-game to see if there are some sort of left handed flip controller options.

EB as promised today refunded me $51 to match the Big W price, they didnt ring to see if Big W had stock either. So GH3 for $98 plus a free Chrome faceplate (Igot PS3 version) is a real bargain.

Well done Crazynites!!

I'm glad I got mine the other day, it was as feral as I thought it would be from what other posters have said.

Congrats on everyone who got theirs, condolances to those who missed out.

YAYYYYYYYYYYY got my GH3..... got there @ around 8.15am and there was already a few people waiting at the front door..... as soon as it opened it was like a stampede LOL people were running and pushing just to get a GH3 for their console.... Most people were getting it for the PS2 I though.... if they're running well hell ill run too.... don't wanna come all the way here @ early hours of the morning to come back home empty handed. SO i was the first one in the store to get GH3 for the Wii YAY!!!.... I was gonna stay and check out things of how it went (people pushing and shoving, one dude arguying over the last GH3 for the PS2 one kid crying cuz his mum and him came late to get it.... he told her she was a "Dumb Idiot" and he's not going anywhere with her ever again LMAO that cracked me up the kid would've been like 15-17 and he was crying LOL talk aboit spoilt brat!!! hahaha
But i decided to get outa there cuz it got really crowded.
Went home happy and had a few goes at it and i thought to myself.. im pretty good and decided to give online a go and try and beat someone... to my realisation.... there's bigger NERDS than me who spend 24/7 playing GH3 who smashed me lol oh well I have a life hahaha so i guess illjust have to practise some more.

ANyone for a game latter 2nite :P
