Bump. You can get this from Gamefly (Steam key) for $31.99 - with coupon code GFDDEC20. Great price.
How long is the cable? I was debating whether to grab this for PC or console and I am still unsure. I want to make sure I can get far enough away from my screen. I also do not have speakers on my PC, so would be restricted to headphones which kind of sucks.

I have the pc version, and my friend who's more of a veteran player, told me the lag is very noticeable on the PC version. Don't know about the PS3 version...
As somebody who has played the guitar on real equipment for years, I have no lag problems on the PC. It could be a slow PC, or the game defaulted to a video/audio correction setting that isn't necessary. The first game had ever so slightly noticeable lag to me, but 2014 is fine. I think I have more lag in my monitor than in the game or audio.
1. for the PC, to get the DLCs from the original RS, I need to buy and activate the orig. RS on Steam?
2. if I want the songs from the orig. RS game, I need to buy the orig. RS game and the import tool to import the songs from it to RS 14'?
3. If I wait, there should be a fix so I don't need to buy the orig. RS game just to get the DLCs?
4. DLCs are only available through Steam, anywhere cheaper?
5. Are there sales on Steam for the DLCs in packs or just individually?
Gah, now I'm even more torn on which version to get. My PC is slower than yours fin, so that definitely concerns me about the lag.
I still have an old Creative X-Fi, so my headphones would be running through that.

About the DLC....
This is not true. Rocksmith 2014 will automatically import any DLC you purchased in the old one. It will not import the original songs that came with the old Rocksmith. For those yes, you must purchase the transfer pack. Also any custom songs you may have will not work. (That is coming later).
Since he has not already purchased RS (either original or 2014), buying old dlc WILL require the original RS. Correct me if wrong.
You're wrong
All dlc has been converted to the new version. If you already have dlc then it gets converted for free. If you buy it from the 2014 version then it's already compatible on its own.

This wasn't the case when 2014 first came out. Did steam fix it? Afaik if you want to get old RS dlc steam won't let you check out IF you don't also own the original RS.
EDIT: seems this has not been fixed yet.

Yes it was fixed in a patch.
Rocksmith 1 DLC Unavailable to purchase when not owning/playing RS1 previously (Steam)
​We are looking into this issue and we appreciate your patience. Steam normally has a policy to restrict DLC purchases to those who own a particular game to prevent people from accidentally buying DLC they can't use. So for the original Rocksmith DLC you needed to own the game to buy the DLC. Many games do not support the kind of forward compatibility that we have with Rocksmith 2014 and as a result Steam is not equipped to handle associating multiple games with DLC which is why we're currently running into this problem. Rest assured, we do not intend to impose a RS1 ownership requirement for RS1 DLC and we're working as quickly as we can with Steam to remove this requirement.
