Hi all, just wondering if there's any chance of the tracks from Guitar Hero I and II being released as downloadable for Guitar Hero III? At the minute with the controller issues with the backwards compatibility I thought this might be a good idea.

Something that baffles me is that Vista supposedly devotes most of your system RAM to any application that you use often (if I'm remembering what I've been told well enough). How is it that, despite that, XP still runs that application with much, much better performance? What exactly is it about Vista that makes it so very taxing? If it devotes your system RAM to the application, it can't be a memory issue. Is it doing all kinds of CPU-intensive things in the background as well, or something?

The reason, as I understand it at least, is that they changed the way that Windows works with Vista. By doing so they have also changed the way that companies have to make drivers for hardware (video cards etc) work. The problem with this is that hardware companies aren't that used to the new system, and therefore are still learning how to make efficient drivers.

One problem that I've run into with Vista was the DX9 games virtual memory bug. I have 2GB of RAM, a 2.5GB virtual memory paging file, and games like STALKER and The Witcher were constantly crashing due to "low available memory".

I did have Vista installed, but it has major memory issues with "older" games (The Witcher, Stalker etc etc). It got to the point that I just gave up on it for the minute ..... I even had an error (80073712) that damages updates, and it is still not addressed by microsoft. Other than that, I was loving Vista though!

I've imported a few games from Hong Kong via eBay - cheap as chips! And yeah, you can import from US and it will play, as long as your TV will accept an NTSC signal... Which is one of the reasons I have to upgrade my tv!

I have one also, and would be inclined to agree with the others in regards to build quality. If you're used to playing on PC then it can make a huge difference, but the fact that the buttons have to be pressed quite hard for them to register and the mouse sensitivity (or lack thereof) make me disappointed and wonder how it got such good reviews. Supposedly there is going to be a downloadable program to adjust the sensitivity, but god only knows when that might be....

My personal opinion is that yes, this game is going to rock!

That being said, I certainly hope for Sony's sake that it does! I mean, considering how much they have been hyping it, can they really afford it not to?

The idea certainly sounds cool, but I'm not entirely sure how much I'd end up using it. Certainly in open world games like Oblivion or GTAIV, but others?????
