Wow, the Guitar Hero site went live earlier today and already it's packed with the sort of scores I'll never be able to achieve. The top Xbox 360 Rocker tops the charts at more than 27 million as of this writing.
The site also shows the top song of the week, automatically tracking which game songs get played the most, as well as Online Tournaments, Local Events and of course tons of forums. It looks like a pretty robust site.

27 million freaking points? Oh god...I hate leaderboards!
Leaderboards...why do you pressure me so...
Must...play more Guitar Hero..to get...high score..
Damn leaderbords.
The site got killed by the way. Leaderboards strike again! I hate them so!
@chainlink13: woops!
the site is dead.
I was placed 15th overall career mode for a little while. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts :D.
yep, probably getting slammed as we speak.
27 mil is a lot, i surely don't expect to be that high but I can compete for sure.
@Eman311: @CaptLtrl: Any pointers?
How early did people get their copies of this game to get such a high score? Jeez!
I thought this wasn't out for a few more days...? It's killing me that other people are already playing and my preorder is sitting in a truck somewhere.
I'm confused. Isn't this game not even out yet?
...but it hasn't come out yet?
We don't even get the game over here for another month. Sigh.
Maybe I can catch up if I quit my day job. The top leaderboard spots all pay well, right?
Game doesn't come out till the 28th. people already have it?
!
is it out here in the US? where do we go to get it. TRU selling games early again??
Since the names of all the leaders are the same across the three consoles, maybe they're premade.
i guest is easy to make a cheat for this. you only need to feed the game image to a program to detect color patterns, and output to the input device.
i guest something like imagemagick can do the "pixel peeking" thing. but for the output you may need some library that may already exist, that simulate a xbox pad...
once you have everything setup, you can make so the game play automatically a few days, with perfect scores 24/7.
The site WAS up. Now is down!
As for people who got it early: leaks and contests. I have a friend I've been chilling with who got an early GH3 360 copy by winning it at a radio contest.
The site is back up and ITS MY FRIEND WHO WON THE COPY WHO HAS 27 MILLION!!!
Can't make this shit up... I always feel like I play this game awful because I hang out with him. Guess that's why he plays GH pro...
So there are already over 1200 people who have it on the 360 that have played it online, Bastards!
Wow, the PS3 guys are way behind both the 360 and Wii guys.
ok if 1200 ppl have it, someone must know where to go to get a copy...
27 million points on Xbox 360 and only 5 million on PS3. I guess Sony doesn't know how to rock.
ahaha nice one redfive... uh actually nope
Got a copy today and returned it. Some copies are having serious lock up issues after completing a song.
@romBox: I thought it was funny too, but it's probably just something about it being easier to sneak out with the XBOX 360 and Wii versions early somehow.
Or maybe just that there's more users of the Wii and X360, there's bound to be more good players thus.
@DasKonstruct: where?
That's it! I'm making an auto guitar... }:|
I bet all of the people who own a copy now work at gamestop/gamecrazy.
gotta be a hack.
@radink: Ain't a hack. My friend actually does play Guitar Hero professionally (as in, makes money doing it and promotions). He's just very, very good... (Look for videos of "Kov" if you want to see him on Youtube.)
@Roadkill:
No offense to your friend, but playing Guitar Hero professionally?
This is pure metaphysics, playing air guitar and getting paid for it.
