Activision said last week that the company will ship free replacement discs in early 2008 for any and all wanting full stereo output.

"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," said Activision spokeswoman Rhy-Ming Poon.

As previously reported in both our review and subsequent follow ups, Guitar Hero III for Wii only outputs monaural sound despite advertising Dolby Pro Logic II on the game box. Fortunately for interested fans, a free "re-mastered" replacement disc will sent begging next year, though no specifics were disclosed.

"We are currently working with Nintendo and are planning to issue an improved audio experience in future versions of the game," Poon added. "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."
