If you mean Rock Band then I am afraid you will have to wait a bit longer (I should have stated in my earlier post what console the prices were for!). There is no release date for PS2/PS3/Wii, methinks Billy boy Gates has swanked EA/Harmonix a wedge of cash for the exclusive release on the Xbox 360 before all the other consoles! It should be out for everyone else Aug/Sept I am sure of it.

They may release more punk tracks like this 'ever-so-average' pack that has been released in the states: "I Fought the Law" by The Clash, "Rockaway Beach" by The Ramones and a cover version of Buzzcock's "Ever Fallen in Love".

Cheers.

Keep on at it is all I can say. I managed to complete my Hard career on both GH 2 and 3 and now really enjoy playing on Expert.

I have GTAIV pre-ordered (PS3 version), and cannot wait.

Could well be the first truly great PS3 game IMO.

I'm not quite sure why people would buy the PS3 version over the Xbox 360 (assuming they have both consoles). It's going to be almost identical games.....but with there being stuff you can buy in the future to make the game even better on the 360.

Rock band is only beneficial if you KNOW you will have 3 to 4 of you playing it regularly. otherwise its a waste(if your intention is ' i can play it on my own')

The guitar is POOR compared to guitar hero, and the gameplay is frankly nowhere near as fun apparently.

Im sticking to my guitar hero unless i move in with 3 people who are certain to always want to play this....and wont force me onto singing


good track list though

You can still play it on your own (probably not the best way to play it mind!) and you can join bands online, so you could be a drummer/guitarist/bassist or vocalist for someone else's band! :smokin: I will have an ample amount of people in my house to play it with.

I have heard pretty bad things about most of the Rock Band gear from when it got released in the US, bass drum pedal snapping etc. So I guess that is a slight concern, and yes the guitar is nowhere near the standard of the Guitar Hero 'guitars'. I still love using the Explorer from GH2 which is handy as you can use your GH guitars on RB but not the other way round so I hear. :glare:
