Until recently, the only way that you could get a second guitar was to buy a Guitar Hero 3 bundle including a second copy of the game. That is what I did and I am quite happy of this decision because, for people that do not know it yet, Activision announced a game disc replacement program to fix Guitar Hero 3 mono audio problem and Activision will require people to first send their game disc before shipping to customers the bug fixed disc. By having second copy, this will allow me to keep playing while I wait the fixed disc which I would expect to take few weeks.

That being said, the real news is that the company Nyko announced at CES this year that, for buyers looking for an economical option to get a second Wii guitar controller, they would sell a standalone guitar controller for the Wii called the Nintendo Wii FrontMan Wireless Guitar at a substantially lower price than the Guitar Hero 3 bundle price. It will be available on March 15, 2008 and Amazon.com is already accepting preorders!!

For people wondering if playing coop at GH3 is fun enough to justify the purchase of second guitar controller, my opinion is YES!
