And between Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3 I'd probably stick with Guitar Hero unless you have a bunch of friends you'd be constantly playing with (like roommates). Regardless, the near $150 price difference is still a lot to overcome.

Even so, I think Rock Band is over-hyped. I can't see the drumming being anything special. Just looking at the kit they give you it's pretty disappointing that there's not even a symbol (not a real one, but a pad mounted higher than the snares, toms, etc. like a real symbol). That really kills the immersion factor for me. I don't have a lot of interest in the singing in the game either.

The set-list seems pretty weak in comparison to Guitar Hero 3 as well. There's about 20 less songs on it by my count. I guess there's downloadable content, but to me that's a pretty cheesy way to make money especially for a $225 game. Since the downloads are full albums generally I could see them charging you $10 for them which is brutal.

Rock Band does have some things that Guitar Hero lacks (better career mode, guitar effects), but I don't see it being worth the price difference.

It's the bundles. $89.99. I think the rogers in Silversprings still have some left.
