» why can't they release a f** guitar bundle??!?

I don't want a mic, and I don't want a drum, none of my friends would play those anyway, it's the guitars the rocks. Why can't they sell a guitar bundle for 99$ like guitar hero did for ages...



I suppose I'll buy guitar hero 4 instead of RB2 then...

...for "ages" GH had options other then a guitar?



Don't you already have a guitar? If so then there is little reason to get a new one.



I'm getting the Ion drums with the standalone game.

"If this game ever comes into the PSP, I might end up throwing my iPod away."



that is one of the most ridiculous things i have ever read on qj.net....



there was no mention in this article about a possible PSP rockband....and out of nowhere you just go "DUDE IF IT COMES OUT FOR PSP IM GNA THROW MY IPOD OUT OF THE WINDOW" lol



it wouldnt come out for PSP...people would easily pirate the game, and then just buy the guitar or whatever it would be

Why do we have to take every single little comment so serious ?

He was clearly being sarcastic, of course any music game can't possibly replace an iPod, they are two different things. let alone the fact that he knows very well that the game ain't coming for PSP, since he WROTE the damn article.....

It's just a way to express his hipe for the game.....your comment is so ridiculous for taking things so seriously letter by letter.....

And I can't wait for the stand alone drums, I already have RB1 but never had the chance to get my hands on the drums kit, if this new instrument are backwards compatible than it would be a good deal to get one, expecially if it could work with GH:WT.....I think it's in the good interest of both companies to make compatible instruments. because even people who might want to get both games intentionally to have a wider range of songs, might be put off by the fact of having to purchase a double or triple set of instruments in order to play them....

If all you and your friends want to play is guitar, buy a guitar and then standalone copies of RB2 and GH4. Not hard

Well, he sort of has a point. The bundles are what? $10 cheaper?

The guitar is available same day as the game? AWESOME! I was looking to get a new guitar and thought I'd have to wait for it!

» stupid

why would you buy this game? It may have 100 songs, but odds are, this only being rockbands 2nd release, a lot of the songs will be crappy covers. gh4 will be all original, remastered tracks
