Before the fanboys flame-on, I am asking specifically about guitar and drum peripherals... and I realize this is probably a stale topic, but my searches for relevant results yielded zilch.

I like both setlists and I plan on buying both Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2 at some point, but I don't know which to buy as the bundle w/ instruments.

I was on the verge of buying GHWT on two occasions, but then I heard about the problems with drum sensitivity and guitar strum-bar stickiness.

Now, I'm leaning towards RB2, but I'm wondering if the GHWT problems are so widespread? Any user reviews on these issues?

I heard of the drum problem as well and that lead me not to get ghwt. I did hear actovision is working on fixing it but not doing much right now. I'd waite to get wt till the problems are fixed.

The Guitar Hero drums are junk, compared to the Rock Band drums.

Personally, I think Rock Band is the better game, and it definitely has the better hardware. If you're going to insist on supporting Guitar Hero, at least do yourself a favor and don't buy the GH drum kit.

I don't know anyone that can even play with the strat that comes with RB. The one with RB2 is much better than the first, but that's not saying much. Any model of GH maybe besides the Xplorer beats those. So I'd go with GH guitar and RB drums. And I'd go with the WT game too.
