WAY TOO MUCH!!! I have no more Room. I can see it Now Guitar Hero Only Stores and Kiosks at your local mall or strip mall…They have enough already to fill a store…with all the add-on’s and accessories….Sheesh…I think I am done…Each New Music Game adds another button or switch to the instrument, just to get you to drop $200US..Nope No more…I am worn out! I have a room full of drums and asst guitars…NO MORE…My Gag reflex has started!!! Too much of a good thing folks!

Activision simply doesn’t understand DLC is one problem and some bands think they are bigger then DLC is another. No reason Aerosmith, Mettalica, Van Halen, or Beatles couldn’t all have been DLC. At this point I only play Rockband 2. We have rb/rb2 and close to 300usd in dlc all under game disc. Sad to say I will buy the Beatles game tho. I mean its the beatles.

As I said earlier, I think it’ll be very interesting to see some justification for the multiple SKUs. I’m a bit baffled at the moment.

I read a feature this week that pointed to the music game sector being down a significant percentage last holiday. I can’t say I’m surprised.

What it didn’t take into account were DLC sales which is what they should be focusing on together with perhaps disc based song packs. We don’t need new instruments!

Presumably they think the E10+ rated version will reverse this decline because clearly, kids haven’t bought any of the other 10 editions have they?

Please stop.
I enjoy pratting around with my music toys but this is a getting a little much. With the Beatles game coming out too I imagine it’ll have its own instruments.

Caution: bollocks, vague, half-baked idea alert
Would it be possible to do a learning thing/game with normal electric guitars plugged in/dongled up to the console? Like when tuning it up using an electronic device only adding much more to it?

God help the shops, they’ve gotta store all this plastic crap. It’s gone too far now. I really can’t see the buying public putting up with yearly updates for too much longer.

When will this fascination with peripherals end? Soon I hope…

As someone just pointed out to me, “So, you’ll walk into a shop and see: Guitar Hero World Tour; Guitar Hero On Tour, Guitar Hero Metallica, Guitar Hero 5, Rock Band 2, Band Hero…”
