not sure if this should be in technology...anyway, I got hooked on playing GH while back home this summer and just wondering if I were to buy it here, what are my options? don't want to debate the merits of xbox or ps2 and don't really know the differences anyway, just want to play GH. where to go? gmarket? yongsan? prices?

If you're REALLY into the music/action games, wait for GH4 and get the whole set with drums, mic, etc.

Yongsan carries GH3 but I've never seen GH2 there.

I got both from:

www.play-asia.com

at around 100,000 won each, including the guitars.

i got a wii in youngsan cost about 210k then got it chipped for 100k then all games were 10k each, paid an extra 30k for a guitar.

best way to do it, might be difficult to send it home etc, i imagine i would be able to shift all that pritty easy before i go.

havnt really played any other games since i got it, guitar hero 3 is all iv played, amazing game, plan on getting the aerosmith one soon, but since getting the game i cant find the motivation to do anything other than chill out playing it.

Rock band is 100 times better than Guitar Hero. I have both, and I never play GH3. If I were you, I would wait for Rock Band 2 to come out. I think it comes out in the States in late fall this year. Not sure about Korea though...

ds_fan: Can you still play online with a chipped Wii? If you have your Wii hooked up to the internet then they'll detect the chip and brick your Wii, rendering it useless! You probably already know this though...

no i didnt know that, thanks for letting me know, i havnt played it online yet, was going to read about this first, you 100percent sure? I didnt buy it for online gaming anyway, from what i have heard nintendo isnt really number 1 as far as online gaming goes, much as i do enjoy playing online. Guitar hero isnt really an online one anyway. morals aside, wouldnt you rather download and burn the games than spend a fortune on them? any other negative things about wii chips, lifespan etc? Just curious. once i can drag myself away from guitar hero im going to download several more games, any reccomendations?

on my list are worms wii darts paper mario

Not much in the Wii games department. That's why I traded mine in for an Xbox 360. If you like GH3, then you will love Rock Band. Some people have a hard time getting used to the guitar, but I actually prefer the RB guitar over the GH3 guitar. Plus, you can sing and play drums (if you buy the drum kit). When RBII comes out, they're going to have a real drum kit that you can buy for it. Check websites such as IGN.com, and Videogames.com.

I heard that if you turn off updates on the Wii then they can't detect it. But I'm not sure. I'll get back to you.
