| Guitar Hero III Hands-On
The guys over at Shacknews have a nice piece from their time spent cyber-shredding on the upcoming Guitar Hero III:  Quote:
The $80 PC bundle is cheaper than any other version of the game, but it includes the Xplorer guitar bundled with the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II, rather than the updated axe modeled after a Gibson Les Paul that comes with the console versions of Guitar Hero III. This certainly isn't a deal-breaker, but the updated guitar feels markedly better than the Xplorer.
If you've only got a PC or Mac, buying Aspyr's version of Guitar Hero III is an easy choice, especially at its lower price point. But even taking this affordability into consideration, it doesn't make sense to buy this version over the full-featured Xbox 360 one unless you've got a huge monitor and don't care about the uncertainty with downloadable content. For the megamonitor-endowed with a different console, the better matchmaking courtesy of Demonware make the PC version a better choice than the PlayStation 3 iteration with its barebones online play, and downloadable content is certainly more likely for the PC than the content-less Wii version.
