Let's Talk about Rock Band (all versions)

I know. It's not like they're going to do a complete rewrite of code they already have and can use.

According to a GameCrazy employee, the wireless guitar for 360 is $20 more than the PS3 one.

Interesting. I have a feeling it has to do with Microsoft using proprietary wireless technology in the 360, and there might be some kind of licensing fee there. But even then, $20 per product is ridiculous for a technology license fee. I have a feeling this price isn't true.

A new album every week...starting with "Who's Next"...omg!

Start saving your pennies now...

I am so happy Rush "Tom Sawyer" is on there. I want Rock Band just for the drums anyways and Neal Peart is a god.

Since it's coming out end of November, I think I'll wait to see how well I do with Birthday and Christmas gift cards and then get it.

With the drums and guitar both costing $80 apiece, the game by itself costing $60, and the microphone $40, it makes economic sense to get the whole kit at once for $200. It's tempting to just get the drum kit and game itself, though, knowing that the Xbox GH2 Explorer guitar will be compatible...

[Tynstar]

But if you by the kit you will then have a bass and a guitar.

[phoenix1967]

Yeah. The kit really is the way to go. Besides, you can always trade in the microphone for value if you don't know of anyone that would want to sing...

[Tondog]

That's a damned good song lineup thus far!

[phoenix1967]

Agreed. It should be a system seller for both 360 and PS3 this Holiday season. 

[phoenix1967]

More news. Nevermind will be another of the downloadable albums for Rock Band.

Isn't it already in? Or is it in GH3?

That was a pretty poor copy of a pricing sheet. It looked like the difference was $10 to me. ($69.99 vs $79.99)
