Rock Band demo

WAY fucking cool. Just played it at Best Buy - they must have just put it out this morning, becasue it wasn't up yesterday when I went to get a couple of hard drives for work.

Played the drums, the guitar and the bass portion of the demo. Simply fucking awesome.

No, not lately...but I appreciate the thought.....LOL

it was WAAAAAY fucking cool. Had to take a call for work as I was playing the guitar portion. But it's fucking awesome.

The guitar is bigger and heavier than the GH guitar. The drum kit is about the size I imagined it to be. I played the drums on medium on Detroit Rock City and Should I Stay or Should I Go. Takes a little getting used to for both instruments.

I was on the fence about getting the bundle, but now that I've played both - I'm sold. 100%

Rock Band un-boxed.

The box is obviously huge, in comparison to the GH box. But it looks like everything is packaged nice and tight to avoid breakage.

The bundle with the wired guitar is $170. Which is actually a good deal, considering the game is $60, the drums are $80 and the wired guitar is (approx.) $70 (I say approx. because the wireless guitar is $80).

No plans yet to include the wireless guitar in the bundle. Which is fine, I don't need a wireless guitar. But they are saying tha tif you don't pre-order one, you're probably not going to get one until next year becasue of the hardware demand.

Anyone know where you can get the game and just the guitar? Where ever I look I can only pre order the game or the bundle. It's not that I hate drums it's that I can't afford all of it and I want to pre order now.
