Account Linking
1.1
What is account linking?
+/-
With the launch of the new Guitar Hero® Community Website you are now able to link your web account to Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith®, and Guitar Hero®: World Tour! You will now be able to display stats from all three games right here on your community.guitarhero.com Player Profile. To do so you must first link your account(s).
1.2
How do I link my account?
+/-
To link your account for either Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith or Guitar Hero® World Tour, you must first have access to the Internet via your console, and you must have a console specific online account. This means as an Xbox 360™ player you need an Xbox LIVE® Account, as a PLAYSTATION®3 player you need a PLAYSTATION® NETWORK account, and as a Wii™ player you need a Nintendo Wi-Fi account.
1. Turn on your copy of the game, and navigate to the online section of Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, or Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith (found on the main menu screen). If you are playing Guitar Hero® World Tour, then you must go to the options section on the main menu.
2. Once you are in the online section or the options section (on Guitar Hero® World Tour), go to the option labeled”www.guitarhero.com”.
3. Upon selecting that option you will see a 16 digit code. This code is called the VIP Passcode, and is required to link your account. Write your code down for safe keeping.
4. Now that you have your VIP Passcode, go to community.guitarhero.com. Select “Link Account” from the select action drop down menu on the top right section of the site.
5. Once here, choose your gaming platform.
6. Now input your Xbox 360™ Gamertag, PLAYSTATION® NETWORK Username, or Nintendo Wi-Fi Profile. Enter your VIP Passcode, and select the game you are linking an account from (Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith, or Guitar Hero® World Tour) and click on Link Account.
Note: For Guitar Hero World Tour only, Wii users must input their band name (created during your first play session) as their "Profile Name" on the Account Linking page when linking their Guitar Hero World Tour account.
To find out your band name, go to the Options Menu, and select Band Info. If prompted to disconnect from Nintendo Wifi, select "Yes" in order to view your band name.
7. Your Guitar Hero® game should now be linked to your Guitar Hero® Community web account. Your account will now showcase your in-game statistics, and will update automatically! You would repeat this entire process if you are looking to link either Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith or Guitar Hero® World Tour on top of the game you just linked.
