Guitar Hero 3 for Wii is Mono sound only, Activision embarrassed

What started out as faulty Dolby Pro Logic II sound has turned out to be even more embarrassing for Activision. They released a music game with only mono sound. Definitely a bug, and definitely not acceptable for the year 2007. Even though you may hear sound from 2 stereo speakers, you're still just hearing single channel mono sound from both.

:spank:

WOW, well, I've played the XBOX 360 version and it kicks ***, some of the best titles include:

sunshine of your love, cream
the seeker, the who
pride and joy, stevie ray vaughan
reign in blood, slayer

to name a few, although it does have miss murder by AFI, they can't get 'em all right... can they?

Have they issued another version of this? In time for Christmas?

From what I have read in the game forums, nope, they {Activision} have done nothing other than acknowledge that they are in fact aware of the problem and are working on a solution. It seems to me unlikely that they will issue a patch for something like this game to a system with no hard-drive. Looks to me like a fixed version will not be an Xmas item.:whatever:

No kidding. The company I work for gives away prizes at the xmas party, and this year there are at least 10 wii's. If I were to win one, I'd have wanted to check out GHIII, but I suppose I could just as easily win one and put it on ebay and use the profits to buy a Tele.

No kidding! Wii's are going for $150 over regular cost because everybody's in a panic.:whatever: :puke:
