Hey guys n gals I've been mulling it over recently what with the release of Rock Band 2 just around the corner. This isn't a thread to intentionally start some stupid fight about PS3 vs. 360... Basically I'm starting to want to lean more towards my PS3 and thought maybe that there was somone out there who had tried both versions and preferred one or the other. Or maybe there are reasons I havent thought of to choose either one... I do have the 360 version at the moment with some DLC...not enough though that it would bother me to have to repay for them on the PS3. Also I'm not too concerned with losing my current stats or anything like that... Im also thinking that with the addition of Home..the PS3 might be a really cool place to start hanging out... Right now my thoughts are all over the place on the subject so if there is anything you can add to aid in my thought process that would be great. Thanks!

Do what you want, but I think it would make more sense to buy it for the system you already have the instruments for.

i don't understand the point of rebuying a game you already have and music you all ready have just to play it on a ps3.

So the only reason is Home ???

And that wont be coming out until RB 2 comes out.

So why don't you just keep RB1 on 360 and buy RB2 on Ps3 when Home comes out ???

Home? Really what is RB2 and Home have to do with each other? Trophies? Playing online? That's all I can think of. Things that can happen with out Home.

Save your money. Buy RB2 on the 360 and get it earlier. Use the other money that you would've used on re-buying equipment to buy some more DLC or some other games. Maybe save it for furniture on Home.

BTW when is Home due? Any date on it yet? Not the Beta I know that's due this fall.

You're recalling wrong I suspect, or it was a very old article

So, you already have the original Rock Band on the 360, including all the instruments, and some DLC and you're considering switching? Not to mention the fact that you would have to wait even longer considering it is a limited time 360 exclusive. Seems like a stupid decision on your part. I personally wouldn't do it.
