From now until June 16, consumers are invited to submit their Guitar Hero rock videos to YouTube at www.youtube.com/pntgame for a chance to win an Xbox 360 Guitar Hero bundle or a $50 Play N Trade in-store gift card, and have their video posted to the Play N Trade Web site.

“User-generated online content continues to grow in popularity, and the Play N Trade video contest is a great opportunity for Guitar Hero fans to show off their playing prowess and creativity and win cool prizes,” said Yuvi Shmul, CEO of Play N Trade.

Local rounds of the Guitar Hero II tournament will be held on June 16 at participating Play N Trade stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Local winners will be determined by single elimination in the best two out of three matches, and the national champion will be determined by points.

“Guitar Hero has a huge fan base and is one of the best-selling games in the country because it is as much fun to watch as it is to play,” Shmul said. “Contestants in the Play N Trade Guitar Hero II tournament can live out their rock star fantasy in front of their friends, fans and family for the chance to be crowned national champion.”

Local winners will receive a $100 in-store gift card and a “Guitar Hero Champion” T-shirt. The Play N Trade National Guitar Hero II winner will receive a multiplayer Xbox 360 Guitar Hero bundle and a $500 in-store gift card.

I have won a couple local tournaments. To be honest, ever since my first xbox bricked and the DLC pricing insanity I have not even touched GH2.

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 2017 BABY!! WOO HOO!!

Nah bro my career score is kinda a red herring. There all medium scores. On medium I can rock the ass off the game....on hard Im like a drunken toddler trying to walk

What level will the tourney be played on? If it was a medium level tourney i would be all over it,sadly enough Im sure its on hard or expert,therefor Im out. Trantzz is being modest,Ive seen his scores,he has scores higher than my medium scores and his are all on hard.

That game looks interesting man....I DL'd the video from XBL and thought it was kinda cool looking. I was gonna rent it but I tried CrackDown instead. Should I give EarthDefense a shot?

Bigloww · 05-04-2007, 12:36 PM

Since I can barley get through songs like Institutionalized, Carry me Home and SIX on hard, let alone on expert, count me out.

But also have not been playing much lately. Summer has hit (well almost)..

Razor05 · 05-04-2007, 12:42 PM

Let's get that 8 yr old to sign up, then we'll use him.

godson · 05-04-2007, 12:47 PM

Lol...might be our best shot. I think Trantzz could be our guy.

Bigloww · 05-04-2007, 01:28 PM

Hehe. I was feelin a little froggy so I tried SIX on expert for the 1st time.

.Clank, ban clank ,err

, clank and a BOO. And can barely get past the intro. Now that is some wicked stuff. I think that song would be easier on a real guitar. Have any of you GH2 Virtuoso's out there that can 5 start this puppy on expert. If so, you have my vote.

Earth Defense Force is one of the most FUN games I have played in a while. Not a real "brain" game but hell of alot of fun! The amount of bugs they throw at you at once is just insane!! MUCH more fun if you have a buddy to play with....

Thanks for the vote for GH2. I seriously can rock the shit out of that game if I want to, but I don't think I have a store close to me to participate. SIX is a classic tune, I can complete it on expert, the only song I have not cpmpleted (PS/2) is Jordan. Maybe I will log inthis weekend to pump up my score!
