Activision has broken their silence on the Guitar Hero III audio issue on Wii and, speaking to IGN, have said they will be fixing the version of the game that’s coming to retail starting next year. Additionally, they will replace existing game discs free of charge. This is good news, but it’s a bit too slow in coming for my taste. Still, some fix is better than none.

“We recently became aware that some consumers have not been able to enjoy the full audio output in the Nintendo Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. We are currently working with Nintendo and are planning to issue an improved audio experience in future versions of the game,” said Activision spokeswoman Rhy-Ming Poon. “We expect to have re-mastered discs available by early 2008 and we will be offering consumers replacement discs at no cost once they become available. We thank all of our customers for their support and patience.”
