Wassup Rockers!! We went down to check out the Guitar Hero 3 midnight launch party at the Best Buy in Santa Monica (Sat night 10/27/07) dressed as Axel Steel (Rob) and Judy Nails (Ciji). Best Buy really did it up – they pimped out the roof with a full rock stage (mocked up from the Guitar Hero 3 game), plenty of food, booze, celebrities and best part of the night was when rockers Poison took the stage for a full kick-ass concert!
Fans and celebrities were given a chance to demo Guiater Hero 3 all night – also on display were custom Gibson guitars that will be auctioned off for charity at Gamestop and other sponsors around with tents full of visual goodies. We spent most of the night interviewing fans and some of the game developers to get a feel for what people were saying and feeling that night. Overall the vibe was on cruise control for fun and the party didn’t stop ’til midnight when the doors opened at Best Buy down below to let everyone in to purchase the game.
You can see some coverage of the event as part of COIN-OP TV LIVE episode 206 – but more coverage will soon be popping up so keep a look out for it!
