I think the new website is great. However it would be nice if I can tell who plays on what system. Maybe a PS3 or 360 in the bottom corner of their avatar or a (PS3) after the user name.

Sorry if this is already out there, but I didn't see it.

just out of curiosity, why would you want to know what system they're on?

So you know who you might want to invite to play with you?

This is a good reason. Also, if you want to set up a fake rivalry or other relationship between bands (like, via trash-talking in 'blogs and stuff), you can do a lot more with it if they're on the same platform.

Like, imagine this: I've been playing at work at lunch time, and a lot of my co-workers have started to make XBox Live accounts so they could have their very own bands (and a few will be buying XBoxes and RB copies of their own soon, or so they report). Anyhow, we could post in our 'blogs about an upcoming show where one band opens for another, and then actually play the shows at lunch one day.

This is easy for us because we know each other already, but if you know what platform someone's on this lets you set such stuff up with people you don't know yet.

This is the exact reason I would like that added.

Sorry, I was still sort of confused because I thought you'd want to see that in some place IN the game, not here on the forums or on rockband.com, which confused me because I thought they would already be segregated. (I bought the PS3 bundle+PS2 game, so I don't have the magical online play :D) my bad

That'd be a really nice addition.

They still have quite a bit of work to do, imo. For example, just showing me all the "Latest New Rockers" on the home page of the community site isn't really all that helpful to me since most haven't had time to update their page at all.

Some suggestions I'd like to add to yours:

1) Yours: Add a PS3 or X360 somewhere to let us know what platform a rocker is playing on.

2) Leaderboards: Have the ability to combine both platforms into 1? Or is the scoring different somehow? If not, I don't see why they couldn't be combined to see who is the best between both. I thought this would be the whole reason for the leaderboards on the website; otherwise, I'll just check in game.

3) Community Home Page: Instead of showing all new rockers, also show latest updated rocker pages or random rocker pages.
