Yeah I think thats what Im gonna do, Ill end up with yet another mic but thats no big deal, might even sell singstar now because we havent played it much. If I get the full bundle then Ill just sell one of my GH3 guitars & get a Frontman to use as a Bass for both GH3 & RB. Now I just got to wait & see how long it takes to get my refund.

Disturbed - Perfect Insanity
Disturbed - Indestructible
Disturbed - Indside the Fire
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville
Jimmy Buffett - Volcano
Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger in Paradise

International Expedited - USD59.98

GRAND TOTAL - USD229.97

Assuming exchange rate of 1 AUD = 0.956156 USD:

GRAND TOTAL - approx. AUD240.52

I actually added it to my cart and pretended to checkout, just to find out for you ...

Yeah dude, 240 Bucks all up. I think you'll find that'll end up cheaper than the price it'll be when it comes out here anyways. I can't see a RRP of under 250 here. I would tend to think it'll be more like 299. So this is by far the best way to go considering you get it cheaper, and months earlier than here.

Survey asks for opinions on Rock Band 2 art

Considering its success, Rock Band 2 shouldn't come as a surprise. An anonymous tipster sent Joystiq a few conceptual images used in a survey about a potential sequel to Harmonix's peripheral party game. Previous surveys revealed Rock Band 2 may feature an enhanced World Tour mode, with the ability to record music videos and hire staff members. Battle of the Bands and drum trainer modes are also rumored to be included in a sequel.

While nothing concrete has been confirmed by Harmonix, these early leaks seem quite plausible. We're hoping that, unlike Guitar Hero, DLC from the original Rock Band can be safely played in any future iterations of the franchise. If not, we're certain there's going to be a lot of angry rockers out there.

The one thing they gotta announce when they announce the game, is that all the downloadable content can work with the second one, otherwise no one will buy it. No one wants to fork out all this money for a game if it's only got like a one year lifespan before the new version comes out. If harmonix want to have a huge DLC library, they can't make it incompatible. They need to do more what singstar has done, and just release new discs (volumes) rather than releasing a new game IMO.

I'm pretty sure (hopeful) that's on their mind. Otherwise the DLC library was for nothing. After creating such a big library at the American PSN Store, surely they have the brains not to start a library from scratch again for Rock Band 2 ...

Got my Frontman and authentic Rock Band Drum Silencer pads today. The pads really do cut down the noise. These ones are would 7mm thick and the stick to the entire drum including the plastic edging.

Have yet to hook up my frontman though and I am hoping it wont take me as long as it has taken some others. I have people coming over tomorrow so heres hoping we can have a three instrument band.

On another note: I got the Guitar Hero authentic battery packs for my 360 GH3. 25 hours play time you get out of these and they are fully charged out of the box. For US 14.95 plus postage I dont think that its too bad.



Finally, anyone heard when Nirvana's Nevermind album is hitting the store ?

I got it hooked up in one go! All I did was hook the wirless receiver to my ps3 when it was on standby then when it was ready I pressed the large button on the receiver then pushed the button on the guitar quickly a few times and wham it was connected.

Good Luck!

Curious: Are you guys worried about the DLC Library not compatible with Rock Band 2?

Seriously . . .would be a bumma if RB2 wasnt compatible with the DLC - and that may well happen if, for instance, the RB2 drums change to 'match' GH WT (which I'm thinking is likely) since theres an extra drum note to be played

But - by the time RB2 fronts up - RB1 will have well and truly (already has, in fact) earned its keep, so I cant complain.

If I was creating Rock Band 2 ... I'd just make a cymbal add-on
That way RB1-ers can still use their current drum sets, the existing DLC library do not become incompatible!

"Future DLC's will now feature the 2 extra cymbals!"

So: 4 drum lids + 2 cymbals + pedal.

Oh how fun!

thanks Wutang - that is a very cheap price !! Way under what most e-bay sellers are looking for.

My copy of RB arrived yesterday !! But I only picked up the notice in the PO box tonight......which means I can't actually collect it until Tuesday next week....

Great service from the US, it was only paid for on Thursday last week, so exactly 7 days from payment to delivery. The e-bay seller I purchased it from seems to have a few copies in stock (Special Edition).

Can't wait to give it a belting next week.......

Well Ive recieved a full refund from the ebay seller for the undelivered Rockband so now I can go ahead with an order at Gamestop.com , have added the bundle & a Frontman to my cart & with postage comes out to $290US so a little over $300AU I think that will be. Pretty good really for a bundle with extra guitar & international postage. Now to just get the extra cash as Im a bit short this fortnight so might have to get the Credit Card limit put up so I can confirm my order ASAP. Dont suppose anyone wants to buy my spare GH3 guitar ? LOL
