EA and Activision talk smack about rock battle

Rock Band if it's not too expensive... GH3 if it is... but let's be realistic - I'll probably get both

I agree. I already shelled out $800+ for a real guitar, and a real drum set. I'll let one of my friends buy it, and i'll freeload off of them.

Rock band has announced like, 10 songs total. There are over 40 venues in Rock Band (versus, what, 7 in GH2). I have no doubt that Rock Band will launch with a superior set list because of this.

the gh guitars (on 360) will work on rockband =)
now im assuming,the ps3 gh3 guitar will work on rockband too.

ooops...THESE GAMES I mean.

I may have to eat my words and cop GH3. Slash endorsed. Nuff said.

Sorry to rain on your parade pal but have you think on what will happen if Rock Band takes the control?,what makes you so sure that when they beat GH3 they wont milk us with DLC as well?.

Also R/O would take the money of the guy who sold you the used copy anyway.

BTW I believe you people are crying to much about the DLC,It sucked anyway it was for the people that like crappy songs.

Word of the Street,

The difference is that the person that you're buying GH3 from has already bought the game. Nothing can change that. Whether you choose to buy the game used, new, or not at all, that person has already bought the game. By buying the game used, you are not giving Activision and RO any money, but you are playing the game. That makes the publishers angry as hell, because they view it as you taking advantage of their work without giving them compensation.

Of course, this is the way things have always been. People have sold each other used wagons and unused food. A used optical disc is no different. However, the makers of wagons and fresh food never lobbied to make it so that once you bought their item, you could never, ever sell it again. That's the difference with modern media companies, and why they should all be put out of business. I'm a very capitalist guy. That's why I hold this view. It is essential to have ownership, for it is the cornerstone to capitalism. Even competition, as utterly important as it is, is secondary to ownership. If you can't resell the item, you never truly owned it in the first place. Media companies want to take away all ownership rights of the consumer, and it is for *rare* instances like this that the government should intervene to keep our system on track. Of course, the government doesn't intervene for matters essential to captialism, but instead choose to intervene when a crappy airline reaps its just rewards of being poorly managed or when a bunch of idiot mortgage agents get burned by giving loans with huge interest to people who can't possible afford it. Typical government crap.

If you ask me it needs more Cowbell,Everything need MOAR COWBELL.

You could just get Rock Band and a guitar for yourself. At that point, you have Guitar Hero... but with the additional benefit of being able to go online (if you want) and play with others in a band type experience.

Also, later on, you can get drums and have a whole new game. Same with mic.
