If you head up on to the official RedOctane store, you can now preorder your Guitar Hero 3 hotness. What’s stopping you, really? Plus, check out all the sweet-ass merch you score with it too. A strap, a bag, a faceplate, a keychain and a t-shirt… that’s not bad for a pre-order bonus if I say so myself. This is some kind of edge over Rock Band too, if you’re in to free things, which I know I am - it’s a hefty price but those controllers look friggin’ awesome, and I could really use a GH keychain. For what? Chainin’ keys, maybe. Maybe I’d put it on my ceiling, so I could just look at it all night before I sleep… Man… October is too far away, and this game can’t come soon enough.

Anyone picking up any of these versions? I know I will be.

As a side note, the description refers to the guitar for the 360 version as wireless, squashing all those early nasty rumors. Full details after the jump.
