I don't get why so many "musicians" feel so threatened by the music game genre, or hate on it for players playing on fake plastic instruments. These are games, and just like playing Madden doesn't teach a person how to take a hit on a football field, the simulation is just plain fun. Some people need to stop taking themselves so serioulsy and just enjoy these games for what they are. It's not like you have to choose between playing Rock Band or being in a rock band. I do both, as do many other people who play these games. The two experiences are totally different and I've never heard a gamer claim that s/he was a real musician because they were good at a video game.
