If they are going to sell the game and multiple add on instruments it will cost a lot...

Also, as far as I'm concerned Guitar Hero is the king of this genre and Rock Band needs to prove that it can control well and have good song selection and decent price. I'm sticking with Guitar Hero III so far.

I guess you missed the memo that said GH3 was being developed by activision, who's never made a guitar game in their life, and rock band is being made by Harmonix, which made GH1 and 2.

GH3 is the one that needs to prove itself. And if even HALF of the features published about Rock Band are in it, GH3 doesn't have a prayer in the marketplace. All it has going for it is name recognition.


Not only that, but the video for GH3 was pretty bad looking with one player being able to mess up the other.  I suppose it adds more of a puzzle game feel to a competitive game, but it's not really a rock band kind of thing.

Meanwhile, the features for rock band so far are sounding pretty awesome.  Since MTV is on board with Harmonix's Rock Band, they are getting a lot more of the actual songs instead of covers by some unknown guy.  That's very exciting because some voices can not be redone.  Nirvana's songs need Kurt Cobaine, etc.
