Earlier today, I tried to reserve guitar hero 2 for the 360 at my local gamestop, but they said that they weren't taking reserves anymore.  When i got home, I called another gamestop, and they said the same thing. I usually get my games at one of these two gamestops, at least on launch day.  How do new releases work in places like best buy and circuit city. I live in New York city, so there are an infinite amount of places where I can try and get guitar hero 2 on the day it hits shelves, but i was just wondering how that kind of stuff works at places not at gamestop.

Thanks

I believe circuit city takes preorders in the store.  I dont know if best buy does, so you can try them on launch day.  Also try online, endless options.

go to walmart at midnight that night... They might be having a special midnight release. When guitar hero 2 for ps2 came out, my friend and i went in to get it at midnight. There was a big line but they had PLENTY of stock. You're more likely to get it here than electronics stores IMO because no one instinctively thinks walmart when a game comes out. They think EB, gamestop, best buy, etc.

most places will probably have it. Guitar Hero is a big franchise.

I actually do play guitar, as well as the electric bass, and the double bass I thought that I would hate guitar hero considering this, but it's actually a lot fun either way

very sad, hd graphics - its a freakin animae practically you dont need graphics, achievments - manage to play 3 notes in one combo, wow what an achievment, downloadable content, ha they release a new thing every month while we just pick up a copy of guitar hero 2, more songs, yea you get the songs straight away that we have to put effort in to unlock
