Forums - Sony Discussion - So I was in Gamestop yesterday see..........

And there was this balding late 30ish guy in there playing the guitar on Rockband for the PS3.  He was jumping and spinning and having a great time.   He was playing Enter Sandman.  There was a couple of other people in there and you could tell they were diggin it, even though the guy looked like a total goof.  This kid walks up to him after he's done and says, "That songs pretty good.  Who was that?"  I got a chuckle from that.  Dunno why.  Rockband looks pretty kick ass though.

Bought RockBand yesterday and set it up to play with my kids.
Then, a miracle happened. My wife, who never ever played a video game before joined us!
The game is really fun.

This is WHY this game will be a hit this holiday season. My wife, a nongamer, had a blast on it. My son loves it because he can beat the crap out of the drums.

But seriously - it's the ulitmate party game, with real songs - not just covers like GHIII.

I predict this will be sold out for a long, long time ...



I really wish my parents would get into video games. My dad always jokes that he will pwn me next time I come home, but he never does =[ Maybe I should start them on the DS.

Rock Band has it's share of covers too.  As a matterof fact, Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills are both covers on RB, yet Paranoid and Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast are not covers on GH3, two of the most important songs to me on both games.

There are alot of songs that aren't covers on Guitar Hero. I really hope the "hardcore" argument doesn't bleed over into the air guitar party game genre too.



I watched these 2 dudes yesturday at Best Buy playing Guitar Hero III and Rock Band...And they were going to the extreme with both games. But when more people started to surround them, they got shy......damn nerds...



I really want to play that game, I just don't want to sacrifice my dignity in an aisle in Walmart in order to do it.
