see, i was about to jump on the gh: wt bandwagon a little while back, and now rb2 has stolen my heart. mmm. i think i like the look of the old guitar better, but i'll probably end up playing whichever feels better, and hopefully this one does.

it would be nice if rb2 recognized your rb file and you could keep your character, career points, and money, but i doubt that would happen.

hey, it's possible. you never know what might happen over the coming months.

Looks cool, but I'm still on the fence. I'm considering pre ordering the disk only.

I already ordered GH:WT with the guitar only, but I might get RB2 with the disc only since the cavern of plastic instruments (aka the space under my big table in the den. Thankfully it is covered with a table cloth.) is about to explode. Speaking of that I gotta clean that space.

yeah, i'm debating about the bundle. not sure yet.

Guitar looks great, if I can have all of the Rock Band 1 songs free of charge, I will get it.

that's what i'm curious about. how will they know if you paid for and bought the first game. is it gonna be based on having a save file on your system? since it wouldn't be fair to those that bought the game for those that didn't buy to get all of the first game's songs for free.

i'm sure i'll get the bundle, whether or not i'll keep all my old instruments is another thing.

i will get the disk, but i dont want ANOTHER set of instruments around! i already have 3 guitars in the living room :doh

i loved Ace of Spades in high school! cool.

I hate to say it, but GH:WT is looking much better. RB2 just looks like they fixed the problems in the first game

The following items have nothing to do with RB2, but I thought this might be better than starting a whole new topic. By the way, I don't have RB1 and don't plan on getting it. For those of you who have it or plan on getting it:

Track Pack Vol 1: This is being released on PS2 and Wii. It's ~20 songs for ~$30. Whether you have it or not, what do you all think of it?

FYI: RB1 for PS2 is on sale (maybe permanently marked down?) for ~$100 at two different major chains this week. (I don't know if I can say which ones on here. Let's call them BB and CC.)

:)

if you got the ps2 version of rock band, harmonix says that the controllers will work for the ps3 version as well so if you get it and one day decide you want the ps3 version, you'll already have instruments(even though as i think about it the ps2 version plus the ps3 game only verison is probably around the same price as the ps3 version, lol)

I just checked the leaked setlist and OMFG. AC/DC, Megadeth, Metallica, and The Who. Sweet!

yeah, it's everywhere. i have to say i really don't know that many songs.

psycho killer is enough for me. :D

gonna pay $60 for one song? awesome... i think

*Jag didn't bother reading the first post, but jumped in at the end of the topic from something he saw vix say*

Psycho Killer? As in The Talking Heads?

Great, I may just have to jump on the bandwagon too. Although I don't own any GH or RB games, I'm sure my roommate will get it.

EDIT: *Jag has now read the first post (most of it)*

EVERLONG!?!? My favorite song from my favorite album by my favorite band. I was just commenting to my roommate, his girlfriend, my friend and his wife when we played on Saturday how much I wished they'd had Everlong or anything off The Colour and the Shape rather than Learn to Fly.

** The Rock Band 2 on-disc track list is comprised entirely of master recordings.

and all the rb1 dlc works with it as well as most of the tracks from the first game(if you own the first game)

Well, I was just listening to the Talking Heads, (namely Psycho Killer and And She Was...), which is why I jumped in on that when I saw it. It was just a case of good timing... I guess.

But Everlong is something to get excited about.

Also, new avatar and title for the first time in (is it years?) a long time.

so who is getting rock band 2!?
i am glad i will be able to walk in buy just the disc.
no need for new instruments yet.

i'm getting it. i'm pretty sure the disc is all i'm getting. it won't be out for the ps3 until oct.

disc only for me...actually from what i heard there are no bundles available for the 360 until the ps3 version comes out so you're stuck with the disc only anyways.

but i'm getting it, not sure how much i'll be playing it with lbp coming out the same time.

when the heck does the 360 one come out!? the release dates on store websites are all over the place. the most common two dates are the 9th and the 14th (which a sunday).

i am not cool with these sunday releases that are springing up...
i want to buy a game on teh way from work. i dont want to drive to town sunday. :glare

edit: went by gamestop. they said 360 disc is the 14th and the package set is the 19th.
