Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 6:41 pm Post subject: British Release of Guitar Hero 3! |
|
|
It's probably blasphemy for me to be a yank making this topic, but I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a get-together in London for the release of Guitar Hero 3?
I'm going to be in London sending my parents off to the airport on Saturday, the 24th of November (day after release) and I was wondering if any of you guys would be up for a get-together.
I cannot host this as I don't live in London, lol, but if anyone is willing to volunteer their place for a meet up on that day I'd be all for it. I don't have money for a hotel for the night, so I'm guessing it would just last all day and we'd leave in the evening (well, I would anyway, I'm sure the rest of you will play into the wee hours of the morning).
Any takers? I'd like for at least 5 people to sign up before I change my train ticket.
Those attending:

I'd be up for it, but i doubt my parents would let me attend, because of internet risks etc. But what airport will you be at? It might be relatively me. Although i probably couldn't host either, considering how small my house is.
What console would you be planning to buy gh3 on? i mean, would you be providing the gamr to play? If we can get a decision on platform before hand, people may be able to bring custom discs etc along, or customized controllers... |

As Hailz is offline (and this came out an IM conversation between us, heh), I'll pick that up...
She won't be buying it, ideally the host would have it.
I'll be getting it on the 360 unless something goes drastically wrong but whether or not I can actually host it will depend on numbers and whether my housemates object.
As for platform... I guess we'll sort that out when we know who's coming and where it's gonna be.
EDIT: Either way I expect I can bring a custom-ready PS2, a PS2 controller and a 360 controller. _________________

I'll gladly make my way from the airport to wherever the get-together is held, so no need to worry about that.
As far as console, I don't have a preference either way. Whoever is hosting would ideally have the game. I would prefer 360 or PS2, seeing as how those systems will have multiple controllers already. But, say, if people want to play on PS3, and more than one person attending will be getting the PS3 game, then they can bring their controller and the co-op/face-off problem is solved.
I will not buy the game until I get back to the states, for obvious reasons:
1. No PS2
2. No TV
3. Its more expensive here
If anyone else is interested, please post!! This will be my only chance to meet SH UK folks. Even if there is a chance you could host, regardless of the size of your place, don't be afraid to put your name in the hat. I'd like to organize this sooner rather than later, so I can figure out my train ticket situation (right now I have a ticket leaving London at 8AM that morning, but if there will be a get together I'm going to try to get an evening ticket). _________________

Count me in, not based in London though and don't currently have a house (working on that one, come on mortgage approval!) but I'll drive up to meet some fellow UK SH members.
Should have a 360 copy of the game and possibly 2 controllers (Could easily bring the console too if needed.)
Be nice to get my arse kicked by some good players.

Awesome! If any of you have other UK buddies that play, bring them along. Still no official host of this, but it sounds like the 360 version would make the most sense to play on.
I'll try to PM the people that were interested in the WSVG get-together and see if they're interested in this one. _________________

To be honest I don't know why I'm considering my housemates in this - they'll be fine as long as the place doesn't get destroyed... and anyway, they'll probably join us if there's booze going on. I still have a couple of concerns about offering to host though:
Like I said around the planning of the WSVG meetup, the communal area in the place I'm living this year is about half the size of the one we had last year. Any more than about ten people (including the four of us that live here) and it can be a bit crowded. It's doable, just don't expect to be sitting down. As it happens, one of my housemates is very unlikely to be around by then so that's one less body... hm.
Also, where we are is a bit out of the way, off the beaten track y'might say. It only takes half an hour to get into central London on the train but still that might involve extra planning for people in terms of getting home and stuff.
...so yeah. This isn't to say that I absolutely won't host it, just that there are limits to what I can do, really. _________________

fun fun!! Haha, though it might be hard to tear away a bunch of GH3-deprived Brits from a brand new game to play customs. I vote we just stick to 360. (Though if the host has some other console we can play on that too >>;). If I had money for the night I'd stay until Sunday too. We shall see.
Dude, you're from Lincolnshire? Fuckin' A! *high five'd* _________________

Got directed to this thread by GuitarHailz (should really check this section more often...), and I'm probably gonna be up for this. If I'm correct, this is in the same week as the Mono concert on the 20th, so this'll be the 2nd time I go into London that week (and possibly the 2nd time I meet thecaptainof, too)...if I'm right in thinking that the 24th is a saturday, I'm more than game as I'm not working.
Add me to the list, I reckon. Thanks to thecaptainof for offering to host (provisionally) too! _________________

I made this thread because the other one was losing interest, and I wanted to initiate a new get together. Then Mattz0r saw this thread and edited the UK Meet thread so there are 2 threads now.
Mods or whoever can lock this one if so desired. And glad people are interested! _________________
