Football? Sorry I only weigh 150, I don't want to die.

Military? Again with the not wanting to die thing, pfft what a pussy I am!

Jacking cars? I'd rather not go to jail.

Play a real guitar? I guess my only excuse is I'm too damn lazy to learn a real one, so I play a toy one.

Guitar Hero is an awesome game and people need to get over the whole "why don't you learn to play a real guitar" crap, just as much as the dopes who try to defend it with "why don't you join the military" idiocy.

It isn't idiocy. It is a logical reply when someone asks why I play a game where I pretend to be a rock star. In all games you pretend to be something so...stupid answers for stupid questions.

Yeah I think only benefit for PS3 would be if you really care about wireless.

Preorder if you plan on getting it. I hear it isn't going to be widely available because they can't get enough instruments made quickly enough for the holidays.

I also saw this at Amazon.


"As you may know, Rock Band is in great demand, and the initial industry supply will be limited across the U.S. In an effort to provide as many customers as possible with the opportunity to purchase Rock Band, we are limiting the number of Rock Band customers can purchase. As a result, each household may only purchase up to 1 copy of Rock Band. Once inventory is available, we will evaluate the purchase limit policy and implement changes as needed."

I believe the biggest issue for B&M stores is that they don't want to over-order a game that's going to take up so much shelf and backroom space (pic of box & angry boy). So many EB/Gamestop-type stores will only get one or two over their pre-order number. It's anyone's guess as to what the Walmarts and Best Buys will do, though.

same here. I don't understand the obession with Rock Band, Guitar Hero, beatmania, etc

Is everyone hoping to live some out some fantasy here?

Yeah I don't understand why all these people play madden. WHy don't they go be real football players.

Why don't you idiots stop playing Call of Duty....join the military.


P.S. Stop jacking cars in video games. Go do it in real life.

Yeah I think only benefit for PS3 would be if you really care about wireless.

And it's only the guitar. The drums and microphone are wired for both systems.

Drums being wired i can understand but guitar and mic should be wireless from the get go. We've already got wireless mics for everything else (except the Wii). Doesn't SingStar use a wireless mic too?

I remember reading a Harmonix rep saying that a mic such as the one everyone has for Xbox Live is not accurate enough to judge phonemes. Maybe it's easier/cheaper to make a high quality mic wired instead of wireless.

Yes.
