Are there any big differences between the XBox 360 & Wii versions of Guitar Hero III?
We're trying to decide on a game console and this is one of the two games we're interested in buying right off. I'm wondering what the trade-offs between the two platforms are relative to this particular game.

Inappropriate?There are a few that I know of:
1. Personally, I prefer the way Xbox Live does online matches. No friend codes, just a universal username that you can use in all games.
2. GH3 for xbox 360 also has Dolby 5.1 and HD picture. The Wii simply isn't capable of either of those things.
3. Lastly the controller. Xbox has the standard Gibson Les Paul, while the Wii version has a fitted compartment for the Wiimote. This adds rumble and feedback sounds.
Tough call. I hope someone else speaks up about this. I haven't even played the Wii version yet.
I’m nesting the Wii controller into the guitar. Jeez Louise.

Inappropriate?I have the Wii version, and it rocks. I've played it for both systems, and it's more challenging for the Wii. The 360 version offers the Halo theme song where the Wii doesn't. I saw your question, and would like to ad to it. I need to know if there are any authentic songs that are only in the Wii version. :)
I’m Fan-frickin-tastic

Inappropriate?I would get the Xbox 360 version since it has downloadable content that the wii lacks. As noted above, the sound and animation quality is also superior.
The wii will also do random online matches, you don't have to use friend codes if you don't want to.
I have the wii version, which I'm happy with. But I would have probably bought the PS3/XBOx 360 versions if I had the console.
I’m Really happy with GHIII

Inappropriate?I agree with purchasing the XBox 360 version. The Wii version's disc shipped with only mono sound. Not even stereo? For a music game? Not such a good idea. Nintendo was offering replacement discs (adds stereo sound) however I am not sure how to go about ordering this.
