Rock Band comes out today so I'll be posting some images of me playing it unless Gamestop sells my copy. My friend reserved it for me under some special reserve. She works there so it's pretty guaranteed that I'll get it today.
Can't play the full thing til Christmas for it is a gift but I'll be posting pictures of every controller in this thread in this post before than so check back and be sure to wish me and Milad good luck in getting this game tomorrow. I convinced my mom that the controllers may be defected so I have to test them. (Which is true... my friend's GH3 controller is broken and so was my other brother's)

The microphone is actually pretty nice, it's pretty heavy and doesn't feel cheap

I don't actually own GH1 or GH2 for Xbox 360, my friends gave me their boxes
And I tried Rock Band's controller on GH3 and it doesn't work. But GH3's controller works on Rock Band.
I'll be picking it up on my way home from school tomorrow if I can find it. I didn't reserve it. ;_;
Getting it in about 3 hours.
I played mine for about 30 minutes, drums are very very hard at first even for my brother that is a drummer, it's quite hard to get used to them. The guitar for Rock Band is awesome except I already hate the strum bar because it's quite hard to strum twice unless you're a double picker which in that case you'll love the new guitar but otherwise you may just want to use your GH3 guitar if you have one.
Soon I'll post pictures.
Pictures are up, enjoy
Drumming is fun as hell, but takes time to get used to. I literally kept forgetting where the buttons were when I first tried. gonk;
Singing pretty much kicked my ass. burned;

Didn't try singing yet but my mom took away my copy because I had to do choirs so I won't get it back for a while. At least I got my Wii Zapper
I saw it at Sams club but it was just the game.
Drum set looks awesome! caterpie;

I like it but too bad the d-pad is horrible, oh well you don't really need that d-pad
I tryed the Rock Band guitar mode at Best Buy a few days ago.
I was disappointed.

Of course, the main focus is multiplayer what not. Also the guitar part was dumbed down in difficulty. I'm mainly hyped for it for the drum part. caterpie;

The guitar is better looking yeah but the game can't focus on guitar (while playing guitar hero you play keyboard and bass parts EVEN THOUGH you're the guitarist just because they want the game to be fun not just realistic) this game is different, it makes the guitar play guitar only.
Also I think I wish the strum of the Rock Band guitar wasn't as gay, I like the shape but it's hard to hit the same note over and over without double picking which I'm not used to. I probably just need to get used to it.
My game isn't recognizing the mic at all... edumacate;
in guitar games like that how exactly is the little strum bar used

i dunno about the keyboard but maybe

When you put your fingers on the frets it doesn't PLAY the note until you strum it as well. So you have to use your four fingers on your left hand to play five buttons and your right hand strums the notes. I do like the game a lot because it's a lot of hand eye coordination which most games do not have.

are you better at guitar hero or rock band?

So far Guitar Hero because I've played it the most. Rock Band isn't the exact same thing, even the guitar you need to get used to because hammer-ons and offs are hard to see since they've changed it from GH3. I wish they made them easier to see but whatever.
I had a hard time strumming as I've already stated but next time I play I plan on using the GH3 controller until I get used to the visual difference then advancing on to the Rock Band guitar so I can get used to the strum

I like the guitar a lot and good thing you can use the GH3 guitar because now I have all five instruments you need.

It didn't feel right. Felt kinda rubbery(?) and cheap. Good thing was that it didn't click.
Much rather prefer a GH3 controller. It was more comfortable IMO.
THE DRUMS WERE FUCKING AWESOME THOUGH
If anyone who is getting the PS3 version is wondering the GH3 controllers do not work on Rock Band.
But this doesn't apply to 360 owners. My GH3 controller works with Rock Band. No news on the PS2 versions but I think GH1 and GH2 controllers will work but not know if GH3 controllers will.
Explorer works with Rock Band too. And just for everyone who wants to know Rock band's guitar doesn't work on Guitar Hero 3, at least for the 360 version but I'm sure it doesn't work on any version of GH3.
Red means doesn't work, green means does work, white means I have no idea.

Wait til Guitar Hero 4 comes out
Also Rock Band's vocals you can do while playing the bass, guitar or drums, the clapping is optional.
Well...
I'm obviously getting rock band, but i have a problem with it...
MY first time playing rock band, i played drums on expert, and nailed it almost perfectly...
Thats the problem. It emulates the real experience....
Then we'll just see little drummer posers everywhere, which takes away creidibility of drummers like me...
REAL ones...

Really? You got expert down first try? My brother couldn't and he does play the drums, he's been in a band for a while now and has been on the radio and stuff, not just some garage band.
Guitar: Like it better than GH's... I always hated the clicking, and I can play much better with the RB controller
Drums: Great, but I suck with the foot pedal gonk;
Mic: Works great, and singing is fun
Sucks that I can't use the GH controller with it though psyduck;

Just played it again at Best Buy.
I reassure my thoughts that the drums are fucking amazing.
Vocals were pretty cool, but you can't rock out with them.
Guitar wasn't as bad as I originally thought. Still don't care much for the feel, but I got my GH controller.
still fucking owns
me and thief are gonna rock out soon enough

When did we agree to that?
My friend said Target had them for $80 on black Friday but I'm pretty sure he's joking. caterpie;
Ugh, that guitar is way ugly. GH3's is much better

im forcing you, because you're the only person on my friends list who has the game
I played it at a friend's house, it's awesome but not worth $170. I'll wait until I can buy the drums and game by itself.

I agree $170 is too much, thats why I bought it for $140
