Well I'm glad I don't own Rock Band yet (my brother has it, not me)... frankly, I am a bit disappointed with the drum set. It's so damn LOUD! And so far, all my efforts at dampening the sound have also impaired hit detection a bit. So I either hear CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK or I miss notes even though I hit it right. I'm not sure which annoys me more. Hopefully Guitar Hero's drum set will fix this problem.
Plus, the fifth pad is pretty cool, I would be sad to eliminate that.
While we're kinda on the topic, there's some songs I'm pretty excited about for Rock Band 2. "Panic Attack" by Dream Theater, "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down, "Battery" by Metallica, plus a few others that may be good.
Panic Attack will be very interesting on the drums... it almost requires a double bass pedal in some parts. I hope I get a PS3 soon, because there's no way in hell I'm buying a shitted-down version for my Wii.
If Wikipedia is to be believed, however, it's not much to celebrate...
All they're basically doing is dropping their current 80 GB model, with PS2 backwards compatibility, 4 USB ports, and SACD compatibility, and adding 40 GB of hard drive space their current 40 GB model (which lacks the compatibilities listed above and only has 2 USB ports).
It's funny, the original 60 GB model was the best one they had. They're devolving slowly. But even a slowly devolving, pricey hunk of black plastic is better than the Red Ring Box.
That's a good step for Activision, but also totally hypocritical given they stopped Harmonix from patching the ps3 version of Rock Band to work with their Guitar Controller.
I'm still getting Rock Band 2 over GH 4 anyway. I want to be able to keep my downloaded music!

that's the one i haz! ^_^
*bow*
I try.
Hopefully that price will last for a little while, I'd really like to get one of those. I'm not sure how long my PS2 is going to last...
Hey, important question, can you play PS1 games on your PS3?
Oh no you didn't!
