I imagine all the peripherals will cost in the league of the Guitar Hero controllers, ~75 bucks. Something like the drums will probably be like 150.

Have fun starting your "band"..

The drums are going to be eighty dollars, the microphone is going to be thirty dollars, and the guitar is going to be sixty dollars on the PS3 and eighty dollar on the 360.

It will be a fun game but I think I will never bring myself to get the cash to but it, to rich for my blood.

Man that looks awesome, I wish they were still doing it with gibson though. And I wonder what the drums will be like.

Wow, you guys are behind. This was news about a month or so ago!

But yeah, it does look neat. I'm really interested about the online element here, it'd be cool to form up a band over, say, Xbox Live and rock out with some friends!

I thought a Guitar hero game was coming to Wii to, am I wrong ?

No, it is.

Does anyone else besides me and I guess Sky, think that Guitar hero is stupid?

This looks even worse unless they can somehow manage to get a ton more track on the PS3 hence the 25GB of space on the discs as compared to the 360's 8-9GB.

Guitar Hero 3 is coming to Wii (and 360/PS3), but Rock Band (different game) is just 360/PS3.

I don't get it, how do you play guitar, a drum set and sing all at the same time? That's like "Street-Performer Hero", not "Rock Band"

You don't. The idea is you get whatever instrument interests you and then play online with other people with the other instruments. Or have your friends get the others and then you can all get together and play. Also, they've said you'll be able to use the 360 guitar controller, so if you just want to do guitar and bass, and already have GH2, you only need to buy the game.

I don't think disc space is the limiting factor for the # of songs on the game. It's more of an issue with licensing fees I would suspect. So having 25GB compared to 9GB won't make a difference.

Oh, and Guitar Hero rocks!

Jones.. your post number is 333! :O

Yea Guitar hero kicks ass. Kinda somewhat of a learning curve to the game, but its fun for people like me who doesnt have musical talent. (Well I can sing and play keyboard/piano, but I've always wanted to play guitar.)

I know. I just figured that would give me more of a reason to buy the PS3.
