Okay so you’ve just spent the last three hours playing Guitar Hero on your console, but now you have to get down to business and write that paper that’s due tomorrow on your computer. But what’s that? Guitar Hero III will be released for Windows and Mac OS X?

Goodbye, productivity; we hardly knew thee.

Yup, that’s right, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will make its debut this fall as expected, but game port house Aspyr will also release a hybrid disc containing a version for Windows and (surprise!) Mac OS X.

In an interview with GameDaily BIZ, Jay Gordon of Aspyr states that that the company is “working toward a simultaneous ship with the console version.” He also notes that, “all of us in this business know that dates can slip, so we’ll let you know when we’re able to announce a ship date. We’re quite certain that you’ll see Guitar Hero III for PC/Mac in stores before the holidays.”

The Mac/PC version of Guitar Hero III will feature a guitar with USB connectivity modeled after a Gibson guitar. Details regarding system requirements and pricing has yet to come (I’ll be happy as long as it runs on a MacBook ).

Outstanding. My guitar-junkie brother will be pleased. It’s also nice seeing that Mac users won’t be left out of the Guitar Hero fun.
