"We were set up in a garage-esque demo room in front of an Xbox 360 build of the game. One thing to note about the 360 version in particular is that if you plan on playing all four instruments, you'll need to separately purchase a USB hub in order to connect all of the instruments as the system only has three USB ports. This setup would also apply to the PlayStation 3 version of the game if you have a peripheral like the PlayStation Eye attached and are already using one of its ports."


good thing i have a ps3, and dont have an eye toy lol

[IErrantVentureI]

Wow, same time.

[TheRocker]

Dude.. im too a ps3 Owner but i dont make fun of other people for having to get an USB hub.. and get ready to get Flamed!

[travmeatwad]

OMFG LOL@CHUFANBOY.


Ugh, seriously. Who cares? You act like buying a hub is a huge deal.

[MrMet2087]

OMFG LOL@CHUFANBOY.

Hmm i thought the PS3 version was wireless and even if it is wired the point about needing a USB hub because of the Eye camera isn't really valid you could just unplug it for rock band as it wont be used for it ( not that i'm aware of) so you then have 4 USB ports and you can plug it back in when you finish.

[sushi111]

Oh noes a $10 hub!

I was going to buy one for my comp anyways.

[espher]

when your already buying the gmae for 200, yeah its a big deal, have fun with that

Oh no, I have to spend TEN WHOLE DOLLARS for a USB hub! Better get the razor blades!

Edit: ^^ Dammit, beat to the punch.

[travmeatwad]

when your already buying the gmae for 200, yeah its a big deal, have fun with that

Oh yeah, because hubs are SO expensive.

Wow, others already said it. Haha.

[MrMet2087]

lol i just think it's funny, money is money regardless, another reason why the 360 is getting pwnd, and it's owners, bill gates making u buy everything, a dvd adaptor, a hd dvd addaptor, when the ps3 comes with everything...your getting raped, and i think it's funny

[TheRocker]

I Hate When People Make Really Really Stupid Threads , And Im Not Defending X360 Because I Dont Even Own One But This Guy Just Wants To Get His Threads Locked.. Too Bad Sean is Away...

Be quiet Fanboy.. you're making me look bad as a Ps3 Owner

[ace_on_bass]

Oh No I Can Barely Fit 4 People In My Room And Don't Intend To Have 4 People On My Console At Once!

Oh No I Already Have A Usb Hub Crisis Averted!!!

[MrMet2087]

rape.........

[MartyMcFly]

The OP is an idiot anyway. It's already been discussed over and over again that it's confirmed the mic will plug into the Xbox controller, which obviously doesn't use a USB port.

Thus, there are 3 USB ports open for use:

Guitar
Drums
Bass Guitar

lol@ you for being a f*cking moron. Have a nice day :)

[bounchfx]

I think is this ridiculous. If anything the 360 bundle should come with a USB hub.. but in all honesty it SHOULD BE WIRELESS. USB hub...

someone get a petition going to have the guitars wireless.. this way we only need to plug in the drums.. or hell! Build the USB hub into the drum stand! Why haven't they thought of/done that? seems like a simple enough solution that would also save the console some grief if people wander too far.

Ugh. If the mic can be plugged into the controller though.. you can still do four players if you don't have a wireless adapter plugged into the back.. which I guess is fine. and you can do co op online to have a full band.

but still. WIRELESS WAS THE WAY TO GO!

stupid.. cost issues.. or something..

[idiotec]

Yeah, time to stop feeding this troll. Stupid statements need no response.

This isn't the forum or the site for childish my system is better than yours crap.. save it for Gamespot or IGN etc and lets talk about Rock band which this Forum is about.

[Eman311]

Lol it's called a wireless 360 controller. No hub needed.

Good day fanboy, enjoy your 600 dollar paperweight

[TheRocker]

Yes he is a fanboy.. ..dont diss my console i dont diss yours

[Eman311]

Don't worry, i only had to take the one dig at him.

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Yeah but that one implies that insult to everyone.

[AVC808]

sure a hub is cheap, but honestly im surprised it wasnt built in to the bundle. did IGN get the final build of all the peripherals bundled in a box?
it doesnt make sense not to have it playable out of the box. if i went to the store, bought the bundle. go home. get ready to play. then find out i cant because i dont have enough ports, and i have to go back to a store to buy a hub i would be pissed.
it's moot for me since i have a ps3, but i can understand the frustration.

[FatWilma]

i dont mind having to pay $10 for all the usb inputs i'll ever need on my 360. just like i dont mind paying $50 a year for the best in online content & capabilites.

oh, and to add a lil fuel to this fire, i also don't mind saving $200+ dollars and still having by far the best games to play :)

[dragulaAC]

I don't see what the big deal is. Most 360 owners don't seem like they'll even need the stupid hub, given that they have a wireless controller, for the mic port. Leaving the 3 usb ports still open for 2 guitars and the drums. Even if you need the hub, it's not expensive, not really a big issue to me. However, I'm a ps3 owner, and have no complaints/gloats to speak of, the game will be great whichever you have it for.

Unfortunately there are just some people who like to gloat and trash talk, even though they don't realize they sound like an arse.

[Apples]

As I've said before, I think it would have been cool to build the USB hub into the drum set. :) Drum set plugs into the console, all the other players plug into the drum set.

But in reality, this is such a minor freaking issue. There's no need to resort to these console wars and baseless flames. In conclusion, /IBTL , +1, /pharm, and any other appropriate board slang terms for this baseless post.

[TheRocker]

End Of Discussion : You dont need an USB HUB Because the Mic Plugs in the Wireless Controller now if you dont Have a Wireless Controller You Do But Its just What 10 Dollars ? Thats Nothing , and RockBand Will Be Great on All Consoles! Except Wii... Just Kidding Sora Hehe.

[MartyMcFly]

I don't see why anyone would by a Core 360 system, but if you did, then it'll cost you a lot more than $10 for a wireless controller:

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802113

$50 ouch

[dragulaAC]

I believe they are referring to a usb hub for $10, not the controller. Plus, ps3 controllers are $49 too, so they aren't ripping anyone off anymore than anyone else.

[Bakkster_Man]

OMG LETS ALL REPEET ARESELVES AGAIN, TAHTS FUN! WRLS IS BETTER, PS3 BLOWS, DON'T BUY A CORE, IT SHOULD COME PACKAGED, BUY IT FOR $10, OMFGWTFBBQ!

There, that's the whole thread again, so we don't need to do it again.

Okay Listen buddy!
You're are being annoying turn off Caps Lock
Ps3 does not blow You Do!

Wait a minute, if the GH3 controller works, Ill be using that for bass.

So no worrys :)

Sorry, forgot the </sarcasm> tag that time. Did I manage to pull another fanboy out of the woodwork?

[Rev0lver]

unless you're homeless and couldn't afford more than the Core 360, you will be fine in RB.

[AVC808]

Sorry, forgot the </sarcasm> tag that time. Did I manage to pull another fanboy out of the woodwork?

i think he was playing along. otherwise you could bash him for
punctuation between "Okay" and "Listen buddy!"
doubling "You're are"
punctuation between "Ps3 does not suck" and "You do!"
"Its spelled "that's"" failed to use "it's" with the apostrophe.
:p

by the way the fake sarcasm tag doesnt show anyway because the message board thinks it's html

[AVC808]

i think it's sad a post like this has to pollute the board on a day that we got some much anticipated news and video content. with sean on a plane, are there not any other mods to lock this down?

im also surprised that a user who actually contributed something (posted the "are you gonna be my girl" youtube video from the leipzig convention) would troll around and start another fanboy debate. disappointing.

[MrMet2087]

my thread has become quite popular..raped

[joetaylor]

And you sir, are also a moron! I have a Core, i couldnt afford a Premium! There, reason enough? Im not homeless, i have my 360 and your an ignorant mother f*cker for thinking that everyone buys a Premium. There, problem solved

no, i'm just calling you retarted if you didn't buy a premium.

edit: honestly, if you can't afford a premium. wait a little bit until you can, it's worth it.

[whofan]

*Hammers In "Don't Feed The Troll" Sign*

Clear enough for you?

[travmeatwad]

Even though I won't necessarily need a hub, I might get one since I think it might be kind of annoying having 2 things plugged in the front and one in the back.

[gh2masterwellalmost]

no, i'm just calling you retarted if you didn't buy a premium.

edit: honestly, if you can't afford a premium. wait a little bit until you can, it's worth it.

I got Core on day of release. 2 months later I had the hard drive. I was willing to pay the extra it cost for the stuff that came in the Premium, and the extra money was worth it for the extra 2 months.

I think you're quite ******ed for being so ignorant and horrible to Joe. He has been stoked bout the 360 for so long he wanted his mitts on it ASAP. And not everyone has tons of money to throw away. Thats why I agree with bakkster, the PS3 sucks cos its a blu-ray with minimal game support.

Lemme break this down for you. Idiot: no DVD adaptor required.

(I'll use UK pricing for this, US can work out the alternative)

Core = £180
HD-DVD Adaptor=£120
Memory Unit (you need it for games at least)=£15

£315

PS3 = £425 + worse selection of game, a worse online service.

PS3 comes with everything? Wait... where's the decent games.

360's getting "raped"? How come, even to this day, 360 is selling 3 to 1 weekly, and the PS3 is losing 5 to 1 against the wii?

And go read the rules you numpty... no console wars..

I never like to fight about Videogames and whats the best console but.. fine if you want to start lets go..

Sony PlayStation 3
-80GB = $599.82 ( And if you get 60gb its $100 Less )
-Extra Controller = $49.82
-1 Game = $59.82
-Xtreme HD HDMI = $19.94
-Blu-ray Remote = $24.92
-Blutooth Headset(Philips Vox120) = $18.88
-Online Service = Free
PS3 Total = $773.20


Microsoft Xbox 360
-Elite 120GB = $449.82
-Extra Controller = $37.82
-HD DVD Add-on = $179.82
-1 Game = $59.82
-WiFi = $88.82
-Wireless Headset = $59.82
-Xbox Live 1 Year Gold Membership = $50
360 Total = $925.92

[Tmidiman]

Just my opinion, but I'm thinking the hub is suggested so that you have one central place to plug in the guitars and the drums, without having to plug it all in the back. This would be convenient too as now all you have to do is put the hub away and you don't have to keep reaching behind the system.

Two points that I believe are true:

1) Wireless for the guitars would be way better.

2) This could all be clarified if Harmonix would just speak up and be up front about it instead of keeping people in the dark.

You do not need WiFi. A wireless headset is rubbish.

AND YOU DONT NEED AN ELITE! So, the 360 is immediately cheaper, because 20gb is more than enough.

So, your maths are wrong. if you're talking hard drive, heres your PROPER maths:

Premium 20gb = $350
Extra Controller = $37.82
HD DVD Add-on = $179.82
1 game = $59.82
WiFi = $0 UNNECCESARY
Headset = $0 comes with it.

$627.46

If you REALLY want wifi = $716.28

so, it works out better. and the games are better

It's more difficult than you think because what if the MS technology got in the way and they couldn't have wireless but ps3s could since they have BluTooth that wouldn't be fair and X360 owners would say "oh this sucks am getting Gh3" and if they made both wired then we would have to know why and that would lead to rumours like "Since X360 wont have wireless then Ps3 doesnt get it either" and that would piss off Ps3 owners. I think they have to figure out something or just come out to the press and clarify this once and for all.

Ps3 20gb = 449 Yeah you can still buy the 20gb at Gamestop
Extra Controller = 49.82
1 Game = 59.82
Blutooth Headset(Philips Vox120) = $18.88
WiFi = Like you said Unneccesary

577.52

so it works better , and has great titles this fall.

One - over in the UK, where there is no 20gb, 360 is better value.

Two - theres only two decent exclusive games for PS3 - MGS4 and FFXIII

Console 360 Exclusives: (some PC games may be in this list)

Killzone 2 - haha, the "Halo beater". I bet this couldnt even beat Halo 2. nice graphics tho
Lair - Could be good.
LittleBigPlanet - Inventive. Not bad.
Haze - OUT ON 360
Home - Pure rubbish
Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots - Nice
MotorStorm - Boring, boring, formulaic game.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - Its Ninja Gaiden on the ORIGINAL xbox, but with btr graphics..cm on
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Its gd
Resistance Fall Of Man - Formulaic FPS
The Agency - could be gd.
Tekken 6 - might be gd
Time Crisis 4 - btr in arcades
Uncharted Drakes Fortune - Ripoff of so many other games
Unreal Tournament 3 - OUT ON 360
Warhawk - Might be gd

some people forget we're here for rock band, not to argue over gaming systems. how childish can you get. it's the damn internet. no one will ever win an argument because they always want to have the last word.

how many mods are there? i reported this post a while ago and cant believe it still hasnt been locked.

[ababypenguin]

Not really...

actually that statement was a defense, GH2Master was always on the offensive

>>edit Ignore me, I am starting to argue now :(

HmxSean just left today for PAX, and he's basically it... :(

[ocfanman]

just want to say I could care less, and I got a core because thats all I could find/afford at the time

I honestly dont care paying more to play some great games, ive basicly upgraded to a premium on my own (without the chrome finishing)

[ZMAN714]

i have a few questions about this...1. what is this usb hub thing?/how much?/where could i find 1 2. where is the usb in the back of xbox?

[Brock_Landers]

Don't worry about it. It's already been stated that you plug the mic into the 360 controller, so you only need 3 slots... and given that IGN didn't note that, who knows if they really even know what they're talking about when it comes to the whole wired/wireless thing.

[McDeezy]

Yeah, I couldn't imagine them making you go out on your own and buy a piece to play all 4 at once. Thanks for posting that.

[The_Wurm]

lol at you ps3 owners who forked up 600bucks



sorry

[VeryGoodSauce]

I have a PS3 and a 360 and I don't see your point. Why would you make a thread making fun of 360 owners? 360vsPS3=360 wins, so don't bring attention to it.

[Quinarvy]

What's with the counter bashing? The 360 owners attacking Ps3 owners are just as bad as Mr. 10 Year Old "raped...hehe" boy over here. Both are good consoles, with good exclusives, don't say an exclusive for either console is bad if your only argument is "meh". And please don't say the topic starter "started it" cause even though he did, what kind of excuse is that? That's how wars start ;) .

A hub's $10...oh my god...so expensive. I'm probably gonna buy a hub for my PS3 so I can charge my controllers or have other things plugged it...lol at me!

Think of it this way, do we want Guitar Hero forums?

[hmxsean]

We don't do console wars here. Mainly because it is the number one activity destroying the internet. take that crap elsewhere.
