K first of all I'm just gonna say I'm very proud to have found out about this game the day it was announced. I was on gamespot looking at the hyperspeed code for GH2 when I saw a link to "Rock Band". I read it and thought it was an April Fools joke since It was April 2. Now that it is on the verge of world domination its a great feeling. Props to Hmx for making this awesome idea a reality. Now on to my question.....

On the 360 if you get the bundle are the drums wired? What bout the mic? I know the guitar is and I'm using my X-Plorer for bass so what do I do if I have like 3 peripherals that are wired with only 2 slots on my 360?

Drums and Mic are wired Guitar is wired for X360 but you will be able to buy a wireless later , you will have to buy a USB Hub , but the special edition brings one and logitech is making one too.

How much does a USB Hub cost?

A standard USB hub can cost anywhere from $10-30 (depending on brand name).

Free in the bundle. $5-10 online. You will probably need one that is externally powered.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be powered, so any $3 USB hub will work fine.

I don't know if the periphs draw any power. If they do, you want a powered hub. I'd double check before getting an unpowered hub.

this doesn't really make a difference about the USB hubs, since they are including one in the bundle, they are going to put the one in which works best with the game. Honestly, anything else would just be a bad idea for HMX. And lets not forget about the *****in logo on the included hub (believe its white with ROCK BAND symbol on it). Thanks
