    Game and instruments are sold separately - there are no bundles like Guitar Hero.
    The Rock Band 2 instruments aren't available yet as far as I know. You'd be better off waiting for those....

    You can't buy guitar hero instruments on their own (only bundles).

    For once 'everyone' is right. RB is leagues ahead of Guitar Hero :)

    RB2 is the way to go, Granted the setlist is pretty pants until you download more but the game and equipment is way better.

    Don't know about the RB2 gear (I don't think its out here yet) but I'd take the GHWT Guitar and Drums over the RB1 equivalents any day.

    RB2 (with RB1 tracks imported) + a few hundred downloadable tracks makes for a great selection.

    The guitar controller for GHWT is great, but Rock Band II setlist is sooooo much better, i bought GHWT and i'm pretty appalled at the tunes on it....

    Just as a thought ... Not that I'd be recommending it, or anything. But... Say you were to rent RB1, then buy RB2 can you just redownload the RB1 songs to RB2 thereby boosting your playlist, or do you need the RB1 disc to download the tracks to RB2?

    Purely hypothetical, you understand...

    hypothetically yes!

    you would need the disc to export the songs!

    it cost 400 points to import tracks from RB1 to RB2 just for the reason stated above. But 400points for 80 tracks ain't bad. And yes once you have RB2, you can rent RB1 and import the tracks. gives you 160 tracks off the bat. Only thing is with that many tracks it takes forever to finish the world tour.
    But its not really a game about finishing it, its one of those that instead of putting on a CD to listen to, load up RB and play a few instead of just listening. Interactive listening more or less! lol
    I'm going one step better this year. Because of RB I've decided to try and learn the real electric guitar. I guessed that since GH and RB etc came out I've spent 100's of hours playing and trying to beat them on expert. Maybe if I spent half the time practicing with a real guitar I might learn to play that instead. not saying I'm going to be the next clapton or anything. But might be able to play a bit with enough practice.
