Can't wait!

Did the pre-order at BB and got a halfway decent RB2 t-shirt for my troubles. Sweetness!

I was thinking of doing that, but I want the game tomorrow, not on Tuesday or something :P

I think I'll just get the game and the drums and wait to see about the guitar. I might pick up the MadCatz M.I.C. though (Mic Including Controller).

I would like new instruments, but I wouldn't have room for it all.

Never post the score before people read the review, because that's usually what happens. They look at the score, and don't have second thought.

Huh? I think it's perfectly fine to post the score. If they're interested enough to buy the game, they'll read the review. If not, oh well.

I have been playing on both Guitar and Drums today and I really like it so far. I think even with the earlier songs, it seems to be more difficult than the first Rock Band. I also really like the new calibration tool. I'll post more thoughts when I have some more time with it.

Well, my almost 5 year old likes it. We put on no fail mode, and he can hammer away on the drums with us.

I <3 this game, great tracks and I enjoy doing the challenges over solo career. Hit me up in game if you wanna jam or go on an unlocking binge. I play guitar and bass on expert.

I too am loving this game to death.

My girlfriend is going to be out of town on Saturday, so I will probably be rocking all day and night XD

The new drums are fantastic, if any of you are wondering. There's not really THAT much different design-wise (frame is the same for the most part, although the crossmembers on the base are different so the kick pedal doesn't move when you move the kit around), but what is different helps a lot. The pads are a lot softer and quieter and most importantly, are extremely responsive (there's some crosstalk if you get the 'SL' set, but fortunately I got the 'EL's which are perfect). Also, the kick pedal has a different spring which eases the resistance a tad and makes it a lot smoother.

Oh, and RB2 rocks. I just wish they would let us view stars in the solo quickplay setlist, instead of score (which means nothing).

I agree. I got the new drums this past weekend when my Rb1 pedal broke and I couldn't be happier. They really are a hell of a lot quieter. I don't have any issues at all either, though I've read that the sets with crosstalk issues can be fixed very easily.

I'm also a big fan of the way the frame is designed now, where the bars on the bottom lock in to place and are shaped in a way that keeps the pedal on it even if you lift the set. Between that and the fact that it is wireless, it's now much more convenient to bring it out and back into a corner whenever you want to play / are done.

you'll have to let me know how battery life is on them once it dies on you... I'm so put off on battery crap... I don't understand why 3rd party people haven't treated the rechargeable controller batteries like say Black and Deckers Versapaks and be able to use them on the different peripherals...
