I'm only interested in drums and guitar.. so i will have to wait and see how everything is going to be released and the pricing of course, I'm hoping that you can buy the controllers without the game as i may get one with the game and then the other controller later i don't want to have to get the game again as well, i'm saying this because I'M in the UK and the PS2 GH controllers were vary hard to get on their own if at all, and i don't want Rock band to be the same way.

I'll be buyin the mic and the guitar.
Wait, I lied. Two guitars.
My soon-to-be roomate and I are going 50/50 on a 360 and the two guitars. I think I'm the one buying the mic seeing as I'm the only one out of us two that can/wants to sing.
Which brings me to a question.
Can you have two people playing one story mode?

I believe the rumored bundle is just 1 guitar.

So I'll be getting the bundle:
1 Fender
Drums
Mic

And for bass I'll just let people use the Xplorer. No use buying another considering the effects switch and extra fret buttons are for guitar not bass.

Not sure exactly what you mean. There's single career mode, then there is world band tour mode (career) And for that, they have stated you only need at least 2 real players to do that.

I think that's what you're asking about. You just need at least 2 people to do World Band Tour, and that can be with any combination of instruments.

I think my house will have at least one of every instrument, and might need two drums for crazy drum duels :cool:

Yup, that answers my question. I guess I was refering to the band tour mode.
Ok, that makes me happy.:)

I'll most likely get the bundle, but if I end up not having the cash for it, I'll be just getting the drums, because I'll also be getting Guitar Hero III so I'll use that guitar, but eventually I'll be buying everything.

The whole proverbial "kit and caboodle" (guitar, drums, mic). I'll play guitar, my daughter will sing, and my son will play drums. So long as my GHII guitar works, my wife can jump in on bass, and we'll have the whole family jamming together on Xmas morning.

For current GH2 owners on the 360, I think the most cost-effective setup is to purchase one of each of the new instruments, and then use the GH2 xplorer for the bass.

WingsOfSteel
08-01-2007, 03:09 AM
Starting with the game, one guitar, and a drumset.

I live in a dorm at college, so I'm guessing at least one other person in my hall will be getting a guitar, and if anybody wants to sing, they can just buy the mic themselves.

08-01-2007, 03:28 AM
I want the whole damn package..... assuming thats a guitar, drums, mic, and game. Just wish they would release the price points, so i can go and pre-order it already.

Rev0lver
08-01-2007, 04:04 AM
i'm getting them all, and i already have the x-plorer for a second guitar

Xzyliac
08-01-2007, 04:57 AM
Bass - My GHII X-Plorer

Guitar - Fender Stratocaster

Drum - Rock Band drums duh!

Mic - May actually get a second third party mic but the Rock Band mic is good filler.

Definitely the whole shebang! :D

Will be getting 1 of each, not bothering with the bass though.

ababypenguin
08-01-2007, 05:09 AM
I'm getting one of everything, if someone wants to play bass, they'll just have to buy one for themselves.

karlkaza
08-01-2007, 05:42 AM
I'll be buying the whole kit as well!
why wouldn't you?:confused:

JarethLegend
08-01-2007, 09:46 AM
Although I really just care about the drums; I'll be getting the bundle and probably an extra guitar at some point just so that I can let other people play with me that don't actually own their own instruments.

Scorp1313
08-01-2007, 10:54 AM
Well the way I hear it, the Xplorer from GHII is going to be compatible with with Rockband....so with that in mind I will be getting the guitar, drums, and mic bundle with the game.

benjamin
08-01-2007, 10:59 AM
One Geetar, one drum, one microphone.

Daywalker69
08-01-2007, 11:58 AM
Depending on my money situation at the time, I'm probably just gonna start out with the game and a guitar or maybe 2. If I can spring for the whole package, though, sign me up.

stinkdog2007
08-01-2007, 12:09 PM
I'll be getting the bundle:
1 Fender
Drums
Mic

And for bass I'll just let people use the Xplorer.

Eman311
08-01-2007, 12:17 PM
1 guitar
1 drum set
1 mic
1 copy of rock band :)

All of it.

Why buy a game like that if you're not going to play all the possibilites?

parastroke7
08-01-2007, 12:47 PM
Bundle. That's all i'm going to do. I have 200 bucks set aside already.

Hozuko
08-01-2007, 03:17 PM
I'll be buying the bundle...if it's real. I don't need a second guitar really, so even if the bundle only has one guitar, I'll be good.

GARahn
08-01-2007, 04:12 PM
I'll be getting the whole enchilada. Word.

KingColon
08-04-2007, 12:15 AM
Hell, I wanna get all of 'em, but if I can't afford it all at once I'll probably just get a guitar and a mic. I'll mostly be doing simultaneous singing and basswork, anyhow.

Slab_X
08-04-2007, 02:35 AM
We have 2 X-Box 360's in our household, so we'll be picking up the following as soon as it's available:
2 Drum sets.
2 Fender Guitars.
1 Mic.
(+ 2 copies of the game)
We already have 2 GH2 Guitars also. :)

ababypenguin
08-04-2007, 07:04 AM
whoa, save some accessories for the rest of us!!

08-04-2007, 07:15 AM
Me and my family have worked something out. For Christmas, one person buys the game for the person with the 360(me), one person buys the drums for the drummer(brother), one buys the mic for the singer(me, brother, or mother), and one buys the guitar for the bassist and guitarist(mother, and me).

Desensitized
08-04-2007, 07:16 AM
I'll be getting the drums and my friend will be getting the guitar bundle. I'll probably get the mic a bit later and GH2, so I'll eventually have them all. Don't need to get it all in one shot. :)

lorddavid
08-04-2007, 09:21 AM
Getting the lot, in actual fact, I still need to buy the 360... so I'll actually be buying:

1 x 360
1 x GH2 w/ Guitar
1 x Rock Band Bundle (guitar/drums/mic)

I'm gonna be skint! Damn you's!

Still... gonna be trading in the original GH stuff from the PS 2 for it, along with a ton of games, heh.

08-04-2007, 03:05 PM

You can't not have the whole thing
Very true. I'll definitely be getting the whole thing, but only the guitar at first. Might wait on a second guitar for a while though. Mic and drum kit are secondary, and I'd be getting the drum kit before the mic because my friends can't sing and I don't like singing games all that much.

Edit:
Oh yeah, still have to get myself a 360 because the PS3 is a $500 paperweight, in my opinion.

Sonofmogh
08-04-2007, 06:22 PM
I'l be buying twenty guitars, ten copies of the game, ten mics, and ten drum sets and then I'll give most of that away to needy children!!! I'm so kind!

No, seriously I'll buy one copy of Rock Band (or Rockband...whichever)
one guitar (I've got two xplorers and I think if I need to I can use one of them for bass)...but I have to buy at least one RB guitar just because it is so DAMN COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111 11111111111111111
one mic and one drum set (because I want to be able to do everything)

fried_blowney
08-04-2007, 07:24 PM
For now just the drum kit.

Jsnkr9216
08-05-2007, 12:07 AM
Game + Mic + Guitar + Drums.


No need to have 2 guitars if I'm going to be drums all the time and my brother's guitar.

Sentry125
08-05-2007, 03:43 AM
I want to get the whole pack, then also GH3 so i can go on either 2 player with both guitars. do the rock band guitars work on GH3? well, thats what i'm getting.

08-05-2007, 06:18 AM
Well, I'm getting the whole 360 bundle (game, drums, guitar, mic), and an extra Fender for bass. The way I see it, I'm not depriving anyone from playing a Fender (even though they can't play it to it's full potential as bass) on this game, especially since the X-plorer is already old news to me... :D

Seroth
08-05-2007, 06:42 AM
Assuming the 360 bundle comes with the game, a guitar, a drum kit, and a microphone, I'll be getting that, and maybe another guitar for bass somewhere along the road, but not immediately.

TheRocker
08-05-2007, 06:53 AM
A bit late to say this but... they are not parts , they are Instruments!

sundaybloodysabbath
08-05-2007, 01:32 PM
Everything but the mic part because I do not see it being fun.

monlienNH3
08-05-2007, 01:51 PM
1 drumset
1 Fender
1 mic
1 Rockband (for 360)

To go along with the 2 Xplorers I have and the future wireless Les Paul GH3 guitar. Might even pick up a PS3 Fender if it's backwards compatible with Guitar Hero and Rock the 80's.

Rattlehead
08-05-2007, 08:14 PM
I'm buying one guitar since I'm also getting a GH3 guitar. My friend said he would go in on an instrument, so probably the drums, and we'll split the mic fee since that'll be the least used.

TheFatBloke
08-06-2007, 07:25 AM
I'm just getting the drum kit, that's it...
I'm gonna convince one of my mates to get a guitar and I may even get a guitar as well for Guitar Hero 3 and RB.

So its;

Drum Kit
1 Rock Band Guitar (Maybe)
Game.

F*** the mic thats just not fun.

aaron_wil
08-06-2007, 07:47 AM
I'll be buying the entire bundle. I will also be purchasing an extra guitar for the bass. I foresee a house full of drunken singers, bassists, drummers, and guitarists. And maybe a few groupies. :D

FreQstar
08-06-2007, 10:47 AM
If the bundle is $200 or less I'll be getting that.
If the price is much higher then that I'll start with the drums and pick up the mic and guitar later and in that order.
If for what ever reason the GH2 x-plorer or the GH3 les paul don't work with RB my priority will be guitar, drums, mic and then another fender for bass.
On a side note if anything is done by the GH people to intentionally make the les paul incompatible with RB I'm getting GH with out the guitar... I may not even get GH3 if they do something like that.

MrGrieves
08-06-2007, 05:01 PM
I am getting the guitar first then maybe drums later on

Reaper_of_Honor
08-06-2007, 05:29 PM
I'll start with a guitar and drums... and probably the mic if it costs like, 20 bucks. The extra guitar I'll have to wait and get, actually... will 360 GH2 wireless guitars work for RB? If so then I will be set.

juiceman23
08-07-2007, 09:15 AM
ALL OF EM!!! but only one guitar because I will be using the XPlorer or the GH3 les paul controller for bass... but i heard the GH3 controller wont be compatible with RB... but I've seen videos on YouTube where people are playing RB with the XPlorer controller

DIM12345678910111213
08-07-2007, 09:24 AM
just the drums and the one guitar, because i can't sing and my parents won't let me use the mic , i'm the only one who can play the guitar controller out of me and my one friend who is into the same music as me by a little bit , who can play real drums, so he would take the drums and i would take on the guitar , if he wants to play the game that is , and if he doesn't then i would switch from drums to guitar from time to time

Can you play RB with the les paul?

juiceman23
08-07-2007, 09:35 AM

Not that i heard of... but I've seen people play RB with the Xplorer but it would be cool... nvm AWESOME if we could though

sushi111
08-07-2007, 09:45 AM
The whole thing, but I might keep my Xplorer for bass, maybe not.

I pre-ordered the whole bundle about 2 weeks ago and I was the first one at that particular game store.


I also am going to order the GH3 bundle in the next few days or so.

Bundle for sure and use the GH2 controller as bass.

08-07-2007, 09:59 AM
Was only gonna get the game and drums as I have two explorers but I'm starting to think the mic might be pretty fun to.

So If I want the game, drums and mic I'm thinking I might as well get the full bundle.

Anteraan
08-07-2007, 03:01 PM
I'm getting it all. I'm in the process of building my first home (expected complete in November) and I figure, if I'm dropping $200G, what's another $300 or so? :D

parastroke7
08-07-2007, 03:07 PM
I want each part of Rock Band. That's pretty much all there is to say.

To buy Rock Band without all of the peripherals would be like buying a kite just to get the string.
