Anyone else still kind of in awe?

Was going to post a new thread along similar to this one, but I'll add on here.

Caveat: Prior to this game, I had never played any RB/GH type game in my life.

Bought the LE set 5 weeks after it was released. Had to put it on layaway as I was spending my cash on the re-mastered CDs. Played the 1st time (on easy and was terrible!) and had a ball. For me, it brought back a sense of time and place, and I was a very happy camper.

Am still playing every chance I get, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Still not real good at it, but "It's Getting Better All The Time" (sorry!). The grandkids (10 & 8) are my band mates, and they love it also.

One plus for me is it got me digging out my older CDs, all the bands from that time period, both Brit & US, and listening to them again.

My biggest discovery since playing it is that playing RB2 is a disappointment. Bought it for $20. last weekend, thought the grandkids would like it, as a change. We played it a bit Sunday afternoon and evening, haven't played it since. We played the initial challenge hoping we could unlock some of the songs they wanted to play (1st peeve I have with the game). I was bass, granddaughter was on guitar and grandson was on drums, so singer was game provided. My granddaughter thought it was totally stupid to watch a skinny, shirtless bald guy with a green goatee see "We Got The Beat" by the Bangles. They also thought it was boring, just watching the band onstage all the time, as opposed to The Beatles and all the different backgrounds and venues. If having all the visual in TBRB was the reason the initial song list was only 45 songs, I'm glad they did it that way.

So I know I'm spoiled by TBRB, and I think they are too. RB2 is already collecting dust on the shelf.

Still love the game so much.
Now and again I go back to RB2 (Tom Petty and Queen DLC) and although I still enjoy playing it just makes me realise how much better the Beatles game is !!

For me it's the only game in my system as well. They could have just released a Wii with no CD drive and TB:RB already installed and I would have bought it .

However, I must say that the last couple of Rock Band parties I went to, 80% of the people still demanded RB2. And 80% of the time it was RB2 playing. Of course the hardcore Beatles fans would stay until the sissies went home, then it was TB:RB 100%.

I got a few days after release - no stock AND I was first in line!! Still love it and I am impressed with the game everytime I load it up. Once I get past the frustration of not playing as well as I can (grrr....) I get blown away by the polish and care HMX put into it. Seeing the making of video and reading other experiences only makes it better and better.
Can't wait for more DLC - Go Harmonix!!

My only regret is that my friends are stiffs and avoid rhythm games....

I've moved back to RB2, but still will put BRB and Lego in once in a while. The Beatles still blow me away. Everything about the game is amazing. I gold starred Lovely Rita and While My Guitar Gently Weeps last night. Even the on disc songs don't get old.

Yeah, myself, I just got the game about 5 days ago actually, and, of course, I am absolutely loving it. Even though I had watched some FC videos on youtube and such, this game is constantly amazing me with just the sheer FUN of it all. These last five days all I've been doing is playing in quickplay, trying to experience all of the songs on all instruments (I haven't even played them all yet), and have barely even touched the story mode yet (I've only just gotten out of the Cavern Club). Obviously it hasn't left my Wii yet, and I can't see it doing so any time soon! It's obvious that Harmonix has put a ton of love and work into this game, and I can't see it getting boring anytime soon.

Thanks Harmonix.

Even on my crappy TV from the Stone Age, the game looks absolutely gorgeous.
The game pretty much hasn't left the CD tray of my 360 at all. I've played some other games a few times in between, but I went back to playing TB:RB almost immediately. It's such a fantastic game. I'm in love with it, honestly.
And my LE bundle arrived today, so now I have a shiny Höfner bass controller AND a drum kit I've been wanting so much.
This is my most played game ever and the only game my mom will ever play with me. Truly a work of art. I will never get bored with it.

I envy all of you who have it.

I play the demo all the time when I visit the local Gamestop, usually when i'm distraught or pissed off. Here Comes The Sun always cheers me up. I can't play it well on my own acoustic yet so being able to go through the whole song in a videogame is the second best thing. I'll be getting it once I have my PS3. I mean I have a Wii but I want the downloadable content.

It's pretty much all i play

[Zorbaru]

got the game only a couple weeks ago as i had a gh guitar and not enough cash to get the full kit. finished hard guitar, now working on hard band. then ill move to expert.

but since then the price dropped big time on the bundle so i have that on order. so when i get that ill have drums and vocals (only to be done on my own) to get through. and then ill get the DLC.

such replay value in this game is great.
