No GH3 guitars 'til next year

via Computer and Video Games


Those looking forward to a Christmas of co-op fake guitar action will be disappointed to hear that standalone Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitars will not be in the shops until early next year.

That leaves rocking PS3, Wii and every-other-platform gamers with the choice of buying another copy of the game to get their two-player action on, or buggering it off altogether until after the mince pies have gone away.

Activision US broke the news to our mate Kotaku, but its UK outfit is being shy as to whether Europe is in the same situation. We're guessing we're not going to find standalone guitars until next year either.

Xbox 360 and PS2 owners can take refuge in the fact that old GHII controllers will work just fine with the latest instalment, of which you can read the review right here. It's still really quite good.
