By now we all know the Rock Band bundle is priced between $160-170 across consoles. I'm wondering who is skipping this game and for what reasons. We know you can buy it with friends and share peripherals, etc... but this isn't about convincing anyone to buy or not buy the game. Just curiosity on my part.

Song List:

-Beastie Boys "Sabotage" (Original)
-Black Sabbath "Paranoid" (Cover)
-Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper" (Original)
-Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Original)
-David Bowie "Suffragette City" (Original)
-Deep Purple "Highway Star" (Original)
-Faith No More "Epic" (Original)
-Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly" (Original)
-Garbage "I Think I'm Paranoid" (Original)
-Hole "Celebrity Skin" (Original)
-Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (Original)
-Metallica "Enter Sandman" (Original)
-Mountain "Mississippi Queen" (Cover)
-Nine Inch Nails "The Hand That Feeds" (Original)
-Nirvana "In Bloom" (Original)
-OK Go! "Here It Goes Again (Original)
-Queens of the Stone Age "Go with the Flow" (Original)
-Radiohead "Creep" (Original)
-Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" (Original)
-Rush "Tom Sawyer" (Cover)
-Smashing Pumpkins "Cherub Rock" (Original)
-Stone Temple Pilots "Vasoline" (Original)
-The Clash "Should I Stay or Should I Go" (Original)
-The Hives "Main Offender" (Original)
-The Pixies "Wave of Mutilation" (Original)
-The Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop" (Original)
-The Strokes "Reptilla" (Original)
-The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again" (Original)
-Weezer "Say It Ain't So" (Original)
-Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps" (Original)

  1. I don't like music/rhythm based games
  2. It's too expensive
  3. I'm not a huge fan of rock

I'm skipping it because it's not really my kind of game. a game like that is better to play at a party, or at least over at a friends house for me. Not my thing at all really. I have a real guitar, and suck at it. why would I need a game to tell me I suck? :P

I just don't like those games. Strongly for some reason.

I'd get it... But I only have a PS2 and since I plan on replacing it with a PS3 at some point...

I'm not getting RockBand quite yet.

THAT'S IT!? 30 songs?! If i'm paying 170 for the game and it's instruments it might as well have 60 songs, even guitar hero two had a lil over 60 if i recall... I don't want to hear their excuse for doing the song 4 ways, i want more songs not different ways to beat them you pricks :(

That's easily pure opinion. Should consider making a poll of which rhythm game has the best song list, though.

Song list is WAY too mainstream. Plus the price, the game isn't going to be worth it. This was like the greatest idea ever at first, but the game just doesn't look much fun. Drums will be fun, but the Guitar parts will be a lot easier than the songs in Guitar Hero, and well the vocals, just like a Karaoke game.

Price, I'd love to support what Hamronix is doing, but that's just too much money for one game. I'll buy the stand alone disc if they sell it, but the bundle ain't gonna happen.

GHIII for possibly having The Fall of Troy.

Even if not, I like GH more from what I've seen.
