Buying from the UK (Need help!)

[Brad_WBA]

It was pretty revolutionary in the year until Rocksmith came out, but now I don't see why you'd want to choose a halfway house when you can just dive straight in with a real guitar - all the more so considering the lack of support for the peripherals.

Harmonix have led the field with innovations in rhythm gaming in the past, but it looks to me like they're pretty poorly placed at the moment.

This is true, but I think using the Mustang and the "Pro" section of the game could be a good stepping stone if I ever wanted to learn to play the guitar.

I was lucky and picked up one for £100 from Maplin a long time ago, but a quick search seems to show they are more expensive now. Maybe you might get lucky and see one cheap on ebay or a music shop.

The advantage is you get the 22 frets instead of the Mustang 17 frets. RB3 is good for helping you see where your fingers are but RockSmith is better overall with the adaptive difficulties and handles more such as bends.

Yeah I just bought it from On Demand, and I may just buy a Mustang from Cex too, cheers bro!

Welcome aboard, now just remember to hide your wallet when you go and look at all the DLC that is available :-) (also if you're looking for someone to compare scores to add me, my GT is S F Booker)

Welcome fellow brit!

I got really lucky with my mustang. Bought it from here: http://store.gameshark.net/Rock_Band_3/260. They don't have much on there at the moment, but i'd keep an eye out for one to come up.

Amazon has it in stock, but they only have 4, so act fast! It's beyond me why it's £60 more expensive on the 360 though: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rock-Band-Wi...7220231&sr=8-1

I'd buy that and the on demand version of rock band 3. £130 for all of that is not a bad price to pay at all.

If you're looking for other pro instruments, they're out of stock of the pro drums. However, they do have keyboards that are surprisingly cheap: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rock-Wireles...220352&sr=8-11.

Hope this helps

Edit: That keyboard bundle comes with the game. That's an absolute steal for that price!

That's expensive. I would look around ebay first, they normally sell for a lot less.
