How to: Identify Activision’s Guitar Hero III replacement disc for the Wii

Pop quiz: How do you know if the Guitar Hero III replacement disc for the Nintendo Wii that Activision will be sending you wasn’t mixed up with another broken copy?

We’ve managed to pick up a tip on how you can tell – the details are available over in the full article.

We remind those that have already replied to the company’s mail that their replacement disc should be arriving within a month. Here’s to hoping out info tidbit will help you tell if you indeed got the right copy.
