WHY ARE THEY SHOWING UP IN STORES?

Here's why (it may be store specific, but it may not be, hence the plethora popping up):

The boxes arriving at retailers state a release date.

They are also stamped with a note saying to DISREGARD said release date.

All it takes is one store in the chain (a Best Buy in Florida, a Future Shop in Ancaster, etc), the rest hear about it, and BOOM -- they're out.

Simple as that.

More lens flare? Like this?

Jim's a buddy of mine; thankfully everything's okay with the family, but that automated response form is clearly out to lunch...

I like it; when my godson or little cousins are over, they can play. Or I could get my girlfriend, or mom to join in.

I appreciate that many people don't need the option, but it really broadens the appeal of the game to those who just want to casually play it at a friend or relative's house.

How hard is this?

Rock Band 2 comes with an download option that rips your Rock Band 1 tracks to the hard drive.

All the technical mumbo-jumbo about usage and blah blah blahs can be sorted out later.

Verrrrrry simple, and at an average of 40MB per song, should only take up about 2.4GB on the hard drive.

Sure, that limits those without the harddrive, but really, c'mon, who cares about those people anyway? ;-)
