You can buy GHII without another guitar, right?

I knew it had to have been broken as in the leaked bonus song pictures you can clearly see a Wal-Mart pricing sign with that bastard yellow face.

I wonder if my Wal-Mart has it...

I think I'm off right now. There's one near my college, so I'm just going to leave early for class. WISH ME LUCK GAF

There's only about a 1% chance they will have it, but I don't care.

What's the actual release date? If Walmart broke the street date, will other retailers follow suit?

Very, very tempting... but I'm waiting on the 360 release (even though that means rebuying the guitar).

Damn it the nearest Walmarts in Chicago are too far west of me.

EDIT: Has anyone tried CALLING your local Walmart? Kinda makes some sense if you don't have the time to waste a trip out there for nothing.

We do in the UK, Walmart owns ASDA. Unfortunately, the European release date for Guitar Hero 2 is 24th November, so they're not likely to be breaking street date here.

But lemme get this straight, we get Trogdor, but we don't get any ATHF Master Shake rockers? No metal "Birthday Song?" WTF?

I just called my Wal-mart and they have it behind the glass but can't sell it. I heard her take it out and scan it (boop), she read off the description and said it was $74.97 but that it wouldn't let her sell it until 11/7.

Boo-urns :(

Wal Mart ought to get in trouble for continually breaking these street dates. Has anyone taken action against these things?

Other than some very very mean letters, I find it hard to believe that a game company would break off/penalize their (probably) biggest customer.

I could see it happening with something like system launches or something, but not with software.
