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 :)

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
