Wal-Mart handing out old Guitar Hero controllers to early adopters

[Zeus]

Wal-Mart seems to have taken advantage of over anxious Guitar Hero III fans by handing them of PS2 SGs as opposed to Kramers and giving them 360 Xlorers instead of Les Pauls. So if you plan on purchasing Guitar Hero III, remember to keep your wits about you.

People shopping at Wal-Mart are getting Xplorers in 360 bundles and Red SGs in PS2 bundles. Unconfirmed report someone got a Red SG in a Wii Bundle? (LOL ._.)

The Xplorer inclusions are indicated on the bundle boxes in what appears to be packaging exclusive to Wal-Mart's stock (wtf?); the same appears to be true for the PS2 Bundle, as indicated in a picture provided by LocalH in his post below:

Be sure to check the relevant area of your bundle package carefully before purchasing to make certain you're buying exactly what you expect. Don't let your excitement for the game distract you or you might get home and find your desired Les Paul has been supplanted with an older model guitar.

If true, this is a ROYAL screw-up.

Unfortunately, I'm a victim. I live in a town where Wal-Mart is the only place to buy games. So at midnight, I went to mine and picked up a copy. I had some friends waiting in the car so I didnt really inspect the box at all. Bought it, drove home.....WTF!!!? Yeah, it pissed me off. I really dont like the location of the start button on the explorer and was looking forward to the new design...but I got ripped off. What a deal. Just decided to accept the fact though cuz I couldnt wait to play.

Stop complaining. The GHIII bundles with the wired guitar are 10 dollars cheaper, and there is a PICTURE OF THE OLD X-PLORER GUITAR ON THE BOX.
