Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2

I cannot wait for these games to come out. I'm sure that many of you feel the same about one of these or both. I'm gearing more towards Guitar Hero though because I just am . But what if I wanted to get Rock Band 2 also?

As you may know, the bundles for these games are not cheap. The games will most likely run you close to $200 to play a game with multiple instruments. Now, if I wanted to get both games and be able to use all the instruments, would I have to buy both bundles? I decided to do a little research to see if there would be any compatibility between the two and this is what I found.

For the most part, Guitar Hero's instruments will work with the first Rock Band on the Xbox360. That was confirmed by Neversoft Director Brian Bright. That's great and all, but what about Rock Band 2? Will I have to shell out another $200 to get instruments that work with the game?

As of right now, the only solution would be to purchase one of the Rock Band bundles because Guitar Hero World Tour will support all of the instruments. What bothers me about that is the fact that I hate the Rock Band peripherals. To me, the Guitar Hero guitar is much easier for me to play with and much more comfortable than Rock Band's Fender guitar. For a person looking to purchase the Guitar Hero bundle and somewhere down the line wants to purchase Rock Band 2, I suggest that you wait and see what is yet to come with the compatibility.

It is still early and these games have a couple months yet until release, but who else is with me on this?
