This angers me to no end. I'm starting to regret getting GHIII for Wii, as opposed to PS2. My wife and I love to play Guitar Hero together, but until "early 2008" we won't be able to. I'm just worried that we'll be over GHIII by the time we get that extra guitar. Bummer and a half...

This just goes to show, supporting Nintendo is like having unprotected sex. Sure, it feels great, but you're often punished for it.

Edit: ick.

Anyways, this is a real bummer that's just the sort of icing a Wii owner would get after getting no DLC and only mono sound. I hope they get some or all of these issues sorted out sooner than later because not everyone has a roommate who owns hiw own copy of guitar hero 3 for wii and his own guitar, so that we can already play between the two of us.
