GHIII Wii discs coming in February
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 23rd January 2008
Owners of Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii will be able to pick up replacement discs by the end of February.
Thankfully, Activision pledged to fix the problem and, this February, the publisher will make good on the promise.
According to ShackNews, Activision is readying to ship the replacement game discs as we speak and Wii gamers will be able to play in glorious stereo sound before February is done. All they have to do is sign up for a replacement disc by registering with the Activision GHIII rebate.
Guitar Hero III has pushed the franchise from strength to strength it seems, with the series just having passed the $1 billion mark recently. Activision will have sucked up a massive amount of that cash too since it bought up developer Red Octane not six months after the release of the first game for a compartively paltry $100 million.
It's also worth noting, says Wii Fanboy that the $1 B figure doesn't account for download sales either. Activision has only said they've sold five million tracks for Guitar Hero 3, which levels out at an extra $10 million in just the last ten weeks.
Impressive stuff, or damning proof of how strong the casual market has become? Let us know what you think in the forums.

Good to know they are shipping good copies of the game to people though.
I guess not. Either that or the majority of WII owners do not connect their Wii to the internet.
Did they know about the fault beofre release?? because if they did then would'nt it make more sence to delay the wii version or pull it from shelves until it was fixed?
All the shops at the moment seem to be out of stock of GH3. When they are in stock again, I'm guessing that it'll be the fixed version?
Fixed :D
