December 22nd? Really? Who came up with that bone-headed idea?

From my understanding, Rock Band 2 is fully compatible with Guitar Hero: World Tour instruments. This is a big way to get GHWT owners to get RB2. I find the method of unlocking things in WT to be less interesting than RB.. I like the concept of building up fanbases. It makes more sense. Paying to be at a gig doesn't make sense. I will rent RB2 to make sure the WT instruments are fully compatible

If that's true, I'll definitely be getting it.

It is true.

Too late. Already got World Tour.

Well if I could ever find a copy of the damn game with drums and a mic I would have the same answer.  With the supply of GH:WT, my wife may get sick of waiting and by this without my consent.

Glad too see GH instruments are compatible but this is very late to find out. How many people who owned GH3 bought GHWT because initial info was that GH guitars wouldn't be compatible? I almost did myself.

Props to EA for a non-gimped RB2 on Wii but this is still very sloppily handled.

Well I still haven't played as much of GH: WT as I did GHIII. Close to 80 hrs in GHIII while barely 20 in GH: WT so maybe music games are just wearing off on me right now. But considering I don't have to pay for anything but the game I might still pick up Rock Band 2.

EA and Harmonix are such idiots. They are handing the Wii market over to Activision on a silver platter.

I want to know did EA honestly not think that a game based around messing around with friends while using expensive non-traditional controllers that are designed to better emulate an experience wouldn't sell on the Wii?

They seriously didn't see the potential sales there?

Instant Classic

Great post.
