GHIII Weekend event details roll in

Yesterday, we mentioned that the Xbox Live sponsored Guitar Hero III Weekend would be kicking off on November 2nd with lots of weekend fun planned. But since the official website wasn't active, we didn't have much more info to share. But now the website is live and registration is open, so this is what's going down ...

For 72 hours starting next Friday, GHIII Weekend will be rockin' Xbox Live in full force. Starting Friday night, eleven GHIII developers from Neversoft will be competing online from 6-9:00PM eastern allowing gamers to challenge them to a song and unlock the coveted "Meet Your Maker" achievement. Complete list of developer gamertags is posted after the break. There will also be a Play & Win sweepstakes running all weekend allowing gamers to win a GHIII prize package every hour with one lucky person taking home an Xbox 360 setup grand prize. You can register for the Play & Win festivities right now by going logging into Xbox.com and going here. Finally, there will be an online Barracuda Tournament where the top ten Barracuda scores will receive a prize package including a guitar autographed by Slash. You have to register for the tournament beforehand (right here), then pop in GHIII, go to "Quickplay", select "Expert" and choose the song "Barracuda". Again, the top ten scores will win prizes and you can even keep track of the leaderboards over at guitarhero.com/contest when GHIII Weekend kicks off.

There will be lots to do, lots to take in and lots of rock star stuff to complete next weekend. GHIII Weekend kicks off November 2nd, so drink plenty of fluids and expect to rock for three days straight.

3. Wait, so I can't get that achievement unless I take part in this? That seems a bit crazy, considering there will be several thousands of people all trying to get the same thing.

Any other way to get this achievement?

7. The list on xbox360achievements.org doesn't show it as viral.

I guess we just need to wait for one of the devs to get a week's vacation time and feel really generous.

8. so is this a big FU to Canadians? I see we are left without a competition once again.

9. When I click the "Register your gamertag" it just takes me to the main/home page the GHIII festivities. Does this mean I'm already registered?

13. I was orignally gonna get Rock Band, but it being a month away and releasing on the week of Mass Effect, and Guitar Hero III having a wireless guitar and (so far) a better set list I just preordered Guitar Hero III. Maybe I'll eventually get the bundle and that way I'll have 2 guitars along with drums and a mike.
