I was looking at Amazon for every price listed.

Yeah, the Wii could theoretically get downloadable songs but it would be annoying with the limited space and the Wii could theoretically get rid of friend codes and have a lot more downloadable content but they haven't yet. 

That speaker function is useless, imo, but that's mainly because I don't care for Guitar Hero's vs. mode.

I'm pretty sure all the new bundles are including the wireless guitar, so the Wii version is not more wireless than the others. The PS3 version of Rock Band is the only one that comes with a wireless Guitar, however.

Rumble? I'm not understanding this. Are you saying you hold the Wiimote at the same time as you play? Because it seems to me that every wireless Guitar could rumble as much as it wants to on its own. Does only the Wii wireless guitar rumble? It looked to me every version except I believe PS2 is the same guitar design.

I never said the Wii had to utitlize friend codes, but if you want to play with friends that's annoying. That's not a major point (just like the Speaker function), but it's there and annoying.

I'm willing to bet there will be more people playing it online on the PS2 than the Wii.

I agree with you the DLC is the deciding factor. That's why I was hoping to get a working PS2-to-PS3 USB adaptor to use my old (wired) guitar for GH3 and Rock Band, so even if I bought the bundle I'd have 2 guitars and my old one would not go to waste.

According to amazon, the PS2 version of the bundle is $5 cheaper than the Wii and there is no stand-alone Wii version since you have to get a guitar. Therefore I'd rathe Wii version last unless by come miracle they allow DLC and the PS2 never does (would be nice with hard drive support of the PS2).

Windbane, the Wiimote fits inside the guitar. It's what the guitar uses for wireless and why it has the speaker and rumble functions. This is widely available and well known common knowledge. And when you take up an angry and abrasive stance on something, demonstrating that you don't even know anything about the issue you're arguing over throws any credibility you might have had out the window.

For the sake of having people actually pay attention to what you have to say, don't be such a jerk, k?

Windbane, quit making stuff up. The Wiimote does not 'dangle' from the guitar.

You really shouldn't comment on things you can't even take 10 seconds to look up. All it takes is one look at the Wii version to understand how the Wiimote fits neatly into the guitar.

BTW, the Wii version is #1 on Amazon right now. 

yeah, like piranas just jump on the one thing I didn't know.

My other points remain.  There is no need for rumble or a seperate speaker.  I'd much rather have the DLC or the cheaper PS2 version.

The speaker function might be useless to you but like I said about rumble, it doesn't have to suit your tastes to be a feature that people want to have.

Everything I have seen (and I checked around before I posted last time to be sure) says the basic package for the PS3/360 is wired and if you want wireless you will probably be paying $110-$120. I would advise anyone getting the 360/PS3 version to get the wireless version as it is MUCH nicer. 

The fact that you thought you had to hold the Wii-mote while playing is a huge point in this debate, and the fact that you were so completely ignorant of the facts concerning the Wii bundle highlights that you were arguing against it without all the information. When someone is making passionate argument against something that they know nothing about in the video game world it usually has one reason. But I will leave others to come up with their own adjectives.

I will also point out that I never said DLC is the "deciding factor", I said it was only honest to mention it sense it is a very big feature for many people.

With that said I am not too worried about DLC, I am looking at the huge song list and wondering how long its going to take me to get through all of the songs that are already there! Not to mention beating it on all the different difficulties. But also I have been following the dev videos and they have mentioned that if Nintendo will work with them they have it so they can patch the game to handle DLC after launch. So if the game does well (and I suspect it will) we could still see DLC. But we shall see.

I suspect the reason for no standalone Wii version is that everyone needs a guitar to go with it. The game really is a lot more fun with the guitar than without. I'm not even sure if you can play the Wii version without the guitar.

As for no need for the rumble and the speaker...well sure you can play without them but they add another layer of depth and are a reason to buy that version. Perhaps you aren't interested in the features but please don't discount their importance to others. As it stands right now the Wii version could actually end up being the definitive version if the DLC comes through...but for now I will call that a big if since we haven't heard anything and I hate the idea of just trusting the devs word on it until they officially announce that its coming.

And one more feature I will add to the Wii version now that I have played it! The wii version also has motion control for the battle modes. Its how you activate your special abilities and stuff. At first I thought "meh this is sorta lame", but once I got into it a bit more (especially when battling Slash) it really gets you into act of acting and feeling like a Guitar Hero. It gets you off the edge of the couch and on your feet playing like a rock star. Great stuff and definitely a lot of fun, I'm glad I gave it a try =)

And finally, I will say that you have ZERO room to complain about being picked on. If you had been mistaken about a price or something small it would truly be no big deal. But the misconception you had about the Wii guitar/Wii-mote setup was fundamental to understanding the basics behind the Wii version. Not knowing that means you didn't even look for info, you just posted based on your assumptions.

There is no need for expensive DLC I won't buy or saving $5 on the PS2 version. I'd rather have motion control, speaker, rumble, and easy to use wireless.

Why would anyone buy any version BUT the Wii version?

See? I can make pointless baseless arguments just like you. If you don't want the Wii version, good for you. Don't buy it. No one is forcing you to. Don't go around saying your preferences are somehow correct and everyone elses is wrong.

The speaker function really is amazing. All the missed note sounds go through the Wiimotes speaker instead of the TV. This may seem trivial at first, but eventually you will realize it is hard to hear the noise of the missed note over almost anything else. That means learning a song infront of a crowd is no longer an excercise in group cringing, but actually fun for everyone.

In case anyone was wondering, when I fired up my Wii version earlier tonight, Multiplayer is now a separate option on the main menu. I guess for the Wii version, it was an automatic update.

the ps2 / and xbox 360 also had motion controls. i dont know for FACT that the PS3 does but i would be willing to bet it does.
