Can you return Guitar Hero 3 with the guitar or not?

errrr

Are you asking whether you can buy the GH3 with Guitar and then return it without the Guitar?

If so then no, you bought GH3 with the Guitar and have to return the Guitar as well.

You can however stick a still sealed copy of GH3 up on eBay - having looked at completed listings it tends to go for ?15-?20 still. That means a brand new wireless guitar will only set you back ?15-?20.. bargain!

No I was asking if they would actually take the guitar back and how much would you get for it just incase I seriously don't like the game ( not really a fan of music games but everyone raves about this one ). Also what is this "solus"?

Solus is the game without the instrument (For those who already have one).
solus just means the game without any of the addons, such as a guitar, microphone, camera, dance mat etc.

(Y) Yep, ?33 is awesome btw. As Kick mentioned, it's pretty hard to find it less than ?38.

Sadly I went into every HMV shop in town today, andt he cheapest I could get GHIII was ?59.99 which was actually in HMV Liverpool One. Can anyone confirm that it was available for ?35 in said shops (ie HMV)? They wil not accept it and argue that unless i can prove it was the mentioned price elsewhere they will not honour i:(:(

Then why would you only return the game and not the guitar with it :huh:?

I'm not entirely sure anymore :laugh: I thought he meant to return it and ask for a refund?

You can by all means trade in GH2/3/4 for money without the guitar, there's no problem with that iirc. It might be harder for them to sell on without the guitar though.

Got mine from Speke for ?;) ;)

However I was in HMV in Speke last week and they only had PS3 and PS2 versions out on the shop floor, might be best calling ahead.

It does say not for resale on the non solus game boxes. So I doubt that the bigger game shops would technically take it. You know what smaller shops are like though ;)

sadly bouncy cats will not prove my point. can you confirm or deny the pricing structure Kushan? :p

Sadly not, I've only got access to the same HMV's =P

Did you try the one on Bold Street to see if it was any different?

What's the cheapest I could currently get the 360 for? I presume it makes a lot more sense to go for the Pro?

Well Woolworths was the best place, for ?79 after the 30% discounts. I think all the Woolworths have now shut though? If not, it'd be slim chances still finding one.

Next best is Zavvi, again they will have stock problems most likely.

Otherwise you are looking at ?120+ for Arcade bundles. Amazon are selling the Arcade for ?125 just now.

EdiShopto have them for ?107 but stock is due in

Hmm. I'll try the Woolworths near my college, Zavvi if not.

I have ?140 to get me through the month, and that includes lunches etc.

There's a slight chance I'll wait until I get next month's money so I can actually live, too. Probably ought to've thought that through first... ><

Thanks for the i:)os :)

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
