"An anonymous Microsoft employee claims Rock Band will in fact cost $199 as has been speculated, and that Xbox 360 owners will not be able to play the game using wireless controllers."
"Both PS3 and Wii versions, however, include wireless guitar controllers reports Ars Technica. The game bundle includes guitar, the drum set, and a microphone with the package weighing a hefty 20 pounds."
and PS3 you can use your cell phone bluetooth for free...PS3 you get everything in one box, 360 you get nickel and dime and eventually end up paying more...Oh wait,,,,360 is not forcing you to buy it, that's the xbots model....Play B3yond
I thought I was the only one left on earth not hooked on these games. If people spent as much time learning to play the real instrument as they did playing these games they would have some great guitar skills.
I'm sure these games are fun in some sort, but so is playing the real thing.
I have 7 real guitars (4 Electrics, 1 Semi-Acoustic, 1 Acoustic, and a Bass) which i play obviously, i like to think i'm pretty good, no Jimi Hendrix, but good.
Yet i suck ass at Guitar Hero, an probably will also suck at this.
Bass will be the easiest instrument on this thing.
This is the kind of thing that annoys me. What makes Guitar Hero fun is that even people who can't play the guitar, and don't care to learn how to play the guitar, are able to enjoy the feeling of hitting the hot licks in their own living room. So what if it isn't authentic? It's just plain fun.
"i hate rockband/guitar hero, i tell you take the two hundred it cost to buy the game and buy a cheap strat or an acoustic, so much more better,..."
I couldnt agree more. I play acoustic, electric, bass & keyboards. Save your $$$ & buy a cheap acoustic & learn something of Value. Why press buttons on a controller when you can learn to play a REAL song - much more impressive.
Once again the PS3 gets the definitive/superior version.
PS3 FTW!
RidgeRacer - 1080p 60fp PS3 Oblivion - faster loading, better graphics Dirt - 1080p, better wheel support Stranglehold - Free HD movie right on the disc Unreal Tournament - Runs better on the PS3, total pc mod support, mouse and keyboard, possible pc/PS3 cross play Burnout - 1080p PS3 version
Don't worry Xbots, you still have Ubisoft putting out crappy PS3 versions! LOL!
Whoops, nevermind Haze PS3 lead platform and exclusive this year. Heh.
Dude, just stop the fanboyism. I don't think anyone is listening.
Not to mention you're ignoring all of the multiplatform games of the past year- Spider Man 3, Need for Speed, Rainbow Six, GRAW2, Splinter Cell, and pretty much every sports game- that are better on the 360. Not to mention the ALLEGED superiority of Assassin's Creed and GTAIV on 360.
I'm not a fanboy for MS or Sony, but I get pretty tired of all this pointless bashing. There are always two sides to the story, so accept that PS3 AND 360 owners have plenty of reasons to be happy and stop commenting this crap...
It's probably too late for you after this post, but no one will be able to see what you think once you get down to one bubble so do your best to conserve it. It's great that you love what you've got and what's coming to it (I am just as excited) but please don't make arguments like this because it keeps a lot of us on here from having a REAL discussion. Comments like these will only bring more of the same from the people you harass.
I value your opinion, but I won't be able to read it for much longer if you keep this up.
Assasins Creed/GTA will be identical at least. With the PS3 the developers are 'allowed' to utilise the hard drive and they have the storage of blu-ray.
Ok let's see ridge racer sucked like usual. Oblivion put me to sleep. Dirts fun but no 1080P tv for me. Stranglehold gets the movie ONLY on the special edition which = MORE money! UT3 gets keyboard and mouse? Woo fuc*ing who! I hate PC games and keyboard/mouse so great for you...I didn't buy a console to use PC components. and burnout is 1080P yay for you, I don't have a 1080P tv and I bet you don't either. you're a jackass, the only game on that list that was difinitively better was Oblivion, the rest is your lame ass fanboyish one sided opinion, so STFU!!
The 360 is using outdated RF signals for its wireless tech; PS3 on the other hand is using Bluetooth. This might actually have something to do with why the 360 version needs a wired guitar.
I'm not a fanboy for MS or Sony here. I thought that the Heavenly Sword Play Magazine 10/10 might be fake, and I think that this might be fake, too.
Right, fanboys, think about that as you try to tear eachother new ones.
Also, why is this in the Wii section?

Oops, my bad. Heh. Thought it was 360/PS3 exclusive...
Sucks for them if its true.
PS3 and 360 version will cost the same, but PS3 will feature bluetooth.....I'll stop there.........Play B3YOND
but i don't think it matters if it's wireless of not.
Well, as long as the wire isn't like 3 inches long.
