I'll probably burst into tears halfway through.
BRING IT ON.
My custom-painted original GH2 Xplorer bit the dust a few months ago and is now mounted on my wall, never to return to rock. All I have now is my on again-off again Les Paul and decent RB2 wireless drumset. Might be the end of my plastic rock-career. Shame about all this DLC trapped on my Harddrive, too.
Same, except I might wait another 6 months after that to get it real cheap (assuming there's some awesome Pro DLC up as well (come on George Harrison and Pro Hendrix!)).

Someone found fine print that says no, but I can't find it anymore.
Also, any reviews of PowerGig anywhere? I'm 1% curious based on the fact that I'll have to settle for the cruddy Mustang until next year.
If anyone needs to get ready for Pro Drums, Amazon has the cymbal set on sale: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=473444411&pf_rd_i=468642

Be forewarned. That's NOT the RB3 set. It's the crappy RB2 kit.ahoyhoy said:

Unbundled, doesn't it work out to still be the same price as the bundle if you order it on Amazon?LakeEarth said:

Might pick this one up, or at the very least give it a rent. I was going to say I wasn't too big on music games, but I realized I already own GH3, the first RB and RB: The Beatles, two guitars, and two wireless mics. :/
If I do get it by this year's end, I'll probably pick up a drum set also. Some of the songs in the setlist are very, very appealing to me.

I'd kill for a crowd sing-a-long to Yoshimi.
edit: I honestly wish this forum was a bit more elitist so we wouldn't have the La Roux and Lady Gaga love. :lol

Will be keeping a close eye on the Cheap Ass Euro thread for the keyboard bundle.
it's going to be weird going from playing Expert guitar, all the way back to failing normal with the keyboard. Probably. Who knows, I might surprise myself.
Pro mode is the goal though. If Rock band 3 can teach me to play a few tunes on a real keyboard then it will have been an unbridled success.
EDIT: I'm still holding out hope that we'll eventually get the ability to export the Beatles songs into Rock Band 3. If they can patch RB2, two years after it came out, then maybe they'll do the same for the fab four. I just hate having to swap discs to play a couple of songs.

Imagine on pro keys is going to be the business. If I get the keyboard that song will be a huge part of that decision.Dead Man Typing said:

Yes, it's under playlists.

Are they more quiet? The RB2 ones are loud as hell. They also double-registered A TON and I generally could only use them during the fills or else I'd be losing my streak like mad.Ridley327 said:

You're not even settling for the "cruddy Mustang" 'til mid to late November (according to Amazon.)
I share your dust speck of curiosity for Power Gig, but let's be realistic about it. This is a game that if stores even take it will be marked down drastically in a few months. (Remember the $10 Rock Revolution bundles?) Stay the course!

Yeah, true. :lol
Even the Mustang got pushed back though? Oof. I mean, I'm moderately excited for Keys, but Pro Guitar is the main event...

I read the same thing. I hope that's true because hitting the RB2 cymbals sounds and feels like smacking a plastic trash can cover. I'll probably bite if they are quieter and don't constantly register double hits.
Bummed that there isn't a Rush song in the on disc list. This will be the first mainline RB game without one (although Tom Sawyer was a cover in RB1) and they have several songs that would make great use of the keyboard.

I've been playing keys since Friday, and it's definitely not as fun to me as the rest of the instruments. There's so many songs where you're just sitting around waiting to come in. I think the last like 2 minutes of Rock Lobster has no keys at all. (and that's come up four times on random pulls already in tour challenges)

I get the feeling that's the problem. They should have excluded all of the "bad" keyboard songs as well.
It doesn't help that a lot of good keyboard songs already exists as DLC so they couldn't put them on the disc I suppose. "Don't Stop Believing" seems like an obvious one...

Yeah, it's that + filtering out all the "bad" songs with like 10 seconds of keys.

I'm buying it this Christmas for the setlist alone. I prefer medium difficulty and I hope it has a better learning curve than Rock Band 2 on hard/expert so I can jump in on hard and not fail for a while. I'm just pumped for the improved features and navigation. Different hyperspeed levels plz

Is there any type of FAQ on the PRO modes (Guitar and Drums are mostly what I'm interested in)? I'm mainly interested in what hardware is available/required.

So I've gotta buy some more wash towels to tape onto them. I can live with that.OneEightZero said:

I hope they come out and announce which e-drum kits will be compatible sometime soon.
I'm planning on picking up a Yahama DTXplorer set but since it has non-reprogrammable triggers, I don't want to take the plunge until it's confirmed as compatible.

Fender real guitar with strings coming in 2011.
For guitar, it's easy as there's only two options:MikeE21286 said:
-The Mustang controller is also a MIDI guitar that you can hook into your PC audio setup and use as such; the big thing about this is that it's the only solution that will allow you to play both standard mode (the classic five fret buttons) and Pro mode on guitar or bass. The downside is that it's limited to 17 frets.
-The Squier guitar is an actual Squier guitar that has technology built into the fretboard so that the game can detect your fingering; the guitar itself is platform-agnostic, so all you need is the appropriate MIDI breakout box for it in order to get it working. Sadly, it's not coming out until some time in the spring and the only pricing info that we know about it is that it's based on their $250 body. Also, as I implied above, it does not work for standard mode.

Can't wait for the guitar and keys freestyle options in RB4.
