    So I ordered that $300 drumkit and if you want to use it as a "real" electronic drum kit you have to buy a $350 drum brain separately but I'm not going to do that I figure I can just download a program off the internet to do that for me for free?

    Anyway since I can't stop spending my money on fake instruments I will tell you guys if it is awesome or not.

    Definately let me know. I want to buy that thing so hard, but I'm worried.

    That 20 free songs thing is pretty fucking awesome.

    So wait, is this 20 songs on top of the 84 included on the disc?

    Yes.

    And on top of the 55 that you can transfer over for $5.
    Not to mention the 206 DLC songs.

    And I'm stoked that Modest Mouse'll be in RB2

    Not so stoked that it's "Float On" and not "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" or "Space Travel is Boring" or "Grey Ice Water" or... the list of pre-Good News songs goes on.

    Little padded drum silencers. I'm excited to try them out when I get home.

    Also I'll be importing the rock band 2 disc just as soon as friggin possible.

    I have to wait for the UK version to come out before I can import, stupid region coding

    And there's no release date for UK yet:(

    I think I'll be getting Guitar Hero World Tour for the instruments and picking up RB1 for the songs and DLC. Then RB2 for ditto.

    Important to note:

    RB1 release date: October (probably late October)
    GHWT release date : November 13.

    This was the first thing I played at PAX. Totally worth it.

    Also, another important new feature is the "No Fail" mode in Band Quickplay, great for your drunken and/or terrible friends.

    I'll be picking up the game and the new guitar. Already exported all of my RB1 songs. Seeing those silencers made me remember I haven't played drums in a while, so I'm going to remedy that right now. Also, my silencers only cost $5 to make and work just as good as the retail ones, so :P

    Are you in an apartment?

    It sucks to play in apartments, because basically you can't rock out properly (i.e., with drums) after about 9 PM without getting complaints. I'm on the second floor, so even with the drum pad things that doesn't make stomping the bass pedal any less loud.

    Plus, in order to hear it you need to turn the TV up, which is also loud, so...

    Thelonius, listen to that song again
    Listen to the guitar
    It's just a couple chords and the riff in the chorus
    Seriously going to be the simplest guitar song ever
    But the vocals will make up for it

    As an electronic drum kit probably not.

    But as a drum kit for playing Rock Band I bet it'll be a heck of a lot better than the normal set.

    Definitely picking this up at launch along with the new drums and cymbals whenever a store in this town gets them in, then probably pick up the new guitar later on in the year.

    So goddamn excited for this game.

    360 dogg

    got a US box at launch almost everything's been region-free and if it isn't it's cheaper to import anyway

    by the way if you guys don't use play-asia.com for everything import-related you're fools
