as far as I hear, not from comments but from the game, its mono x 2, meaning, it's single channel put through both Left and Right speakers, which is stereo, but that's quite old. true stereo, dual channel out of both.. come on now.

i havent played one second after i first noticed this off audio and then looked it up online. replacement is nice.. its not like there is a shortage of games out for the time being..

NO MORE HEROES!

FWIW, I received a disc mailer and replacement form today, 2/11. Pretty straightforward, drop in the bare disc (no box), the filled form and allow 4 weeks for delivery. They're accepting discs until August 31st. Mine's in the mail.

Got my replacement disc yesterday, the sound difference was well worth the wait. Even my wife could tell the difference between it being in Mono and now in Dolby Surround.

Did they add anything else to the replacement disc besides the stereo problem?

Dont worry, I'm sure they added mini games to the disc as well.


Oh, I know, I shouldn't have. But I did.

GHIII without Stereo is like Jenga for the Wii, the core function of the game, just dosn't freaking work...

But i guess i don't care, since i've been getting my GHIII on for as long as it's been out....

The core function doesn't work?

So since it's in mono, you can't play the songs?

I'm sure most people didn't even notice that it was in mono. Sure, it sucks, but don't make it out to be a bigger deal than it really is.

Anyone know if the currently-shipping copies of Guitar Hero III are in stereo? I'm not about to go out and buy a game that may or may not be borked and require me to register for a replacement.

Yeah, I still don't understand why I don't hear a peep about currently selling guitar hero and whether or not it's in stereo.

Current disks are still mono when you have 5.1 surround sound.

STEREO SETTING WORKS AND HAS ALWAYS WORKED. Its only surround sound that plays as mono. Get it right Joystiq.

Way to go Activision! Only four months ... that's damn fine customer service!

Then again, if the Wii had any kind of patching/DLC, then it wouldn't have been that long, I'm sure.

So the moral is you both suck.

If they didn't, they wouldn't even ship replacement discs because they don't have any real obligation towards the consumer concerning the mono/stereo issue.

So does this mean that more units will be shipping? I can't seem to find a copy of this game to save my life =(

Surround sound is the one f-ed up and outputs mono- Stereo sound works fine on the borked discs. It's not like you only get mono sound on the disc. I use TV speakers, so I never even noticed.

Awesome... I love the fact that they are sending out a box for us to ship the game to them for replacement (having to wait to recieve the new disk to play the game).... There has GOT to be a better way

I wonder if they are going to have some poor ass sitting there inserting returned discs to verify that they don't have working surround sound?

You can only listen to Paint it Black so many times before going batshit insane.

No, I'm sorry but you can listen to paint it black forever. I do believe its the theme song for Heaven.

I'm not sure if it's worth the fact that they shared my email address with all the other people that signed up for the replacement disks.

The folks on my sub-section of the exposed list have started sharing Friend Codes using "Reply All." It's annoying that Activision screwed up the e-mail, but I guess it could be worse.

Now they just need a patch for the graphics. I don't understand how they're worse than GH2 for the PS2. Some of the animations are just terrible, and the drummer looks physically and mentally retarded.

Haven't you heard the new multiplatforming formula?

PS3/360/PC and Wii/PS2/PSP.
