YES, ROCK BAND IS AWESOME.

One thing that is not awesome is the fact that the game will cost £180 (that's about $360) with the complete accessories. Totally not worth it, roll on SSBB!
holy crap.

It costs $169.99 in Canadaland. We also bought a second guitar (for the Bass) for $59.99. Totally worth it.

New songs cost $3.27 after taxes.

lucky bastard. It costs around $400 where i live. Luckily i am on a good salary.
I played it at my school's last "Activity Night" (read: night where you to have fun at school). I played 4 rounds: once on bass, then twice on drums, followed by guitar.
I absolutely loved it.

The only bad thing was that we kept failing the songs because someone (not always me!) in the group had to fail, and we couldn't get Overdrive (Star Power?) fast enough to save them.
Oh, and the fact that it was the PS2 version (as opposed to the PS3, X360, or upcoming Wii version). The visuals for seeing your band rock out are HORRIBLE. It's gritty, grainy, low-res CG-looking pre-recorded animation, instead of using the actual graphical capabilities of the system. It was SO ugly!

Screw it, who cares? It was frickin fun. Besides, me and both of my friends have a Wii, so maybe we can buy the upcoming Wii version together (considering the grapics are actually GOOD).

(Of course, one of them has a PS3, and he insists on getting that version, but Iwant the Wii version so we can share it).
I'd go with the PS3 version if you have a choice. Downloadable content is half the fun! Stupid Wii....

Oh man the Wii version is just about as bad as the PS2 version. You need to go next-generation dude (no the Wii is not a next-generation console don't kid yourself).
The Wii is so a) not stupid and b) next-gen! Last time I checked PS2, Xbox, and GameCube didn't have motion controls. Whether a system is next-gen or not doesn't always depend sorely on the graphics.

Yes it is, you tard. Don't make me pull out hardware specifications.

For that matter, the Wii version of Rock Band is just a shitty port of the PS2 version. No downloadable music, no customized band members.
Right. Please see here.

Quote: "Nonetheless, this was our first look at the game on Nintendo's console, and it appears to be a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game."

You were saying? The only bad thing is that they may not be able to put on downloadable music. As in, it's not a "there's no possible way."
Character customization and DLC is some of my favorite parts of the game. DLC in particular really improves the longevity of the game.

For the sake of Wii owners, I hope they include it.
I've had this game since shortly after christmas and so far, its the best money I've spent on my 360 thus far. I usually like to be the vocalist, but I'll play bass too if someone else wants to play vocals for a while. I'm curious to what this weeks songs are gonna be. I still need to download Zero from last weeks set.
My cousin bought this the other day. It is quite excellent. I am getting pretty good with the drums! Also, my character looks scarily similar to me.
So, has this been released in Euroland yet, or what?

All i know is that i think it's been released in all euroland but apparently it's coming onto the wii and will be released in August this year.
Came out today but only on the Xbox 360 I believe. On play.com it's £100 for the instrument pack but in hmv it was £150. Bit too much for me i'm afraid so i'm stuck playing guitar hero for the time being.
