everything looks awesome....

My only gripe, if I may have one, is that the song selection screen for Quickplay doesn't incorporate the Leaderboards/Ranks. It only has the score? What about the Stars too? It'd be soo nice to have a small Leaderboard window off to the side, much like Forza 2, with quick access to overall ranks, friends ranks, etc. I guess not everyone has HDTV's... doh. so much space to the sides

I agree, the new song selection screen looks really nice, but I'd love to have a quick-jump button to leaderboards, star rating and some kind of 100% icon. Going through solo now I have mostly gold stars, but I can't remember which I've FCd and which I can still substancially improve my score on.

Also a leaderboards friends comparison would be AMAZING. Select a friend and songs in which they have a higher score than you are red, with songs you're winning in green. I would LOVE this feature, and it would increase the replayability of the game to unheard-of extremes!

1080i in RB2? HMX? Anyone?

[sanctusmortis]

A European date for RB2 would be nice too, ta.

The new quickplay page looks awesome, but where the heck are the STARS? Score-hunters need their gold stars to be in the list. Please

I thought I read that you could use your own electronic drum kits if you hook them up to the GH drum kit...meaning you had to buy the drums anyways.

i don't know everyone always uses that excuse if it wasnt for so and so band there wouldn't be this new band.. people sample from other people fine. but if the so and so band they sampled from wasnt ever there, theyd just sample from someone else no big deal.. or theyd make write there own beats.. no big deal.

No im not 10 im 32. i just don't appreciate ancient music.. the beatles were horrible singers. but thats just my opinion just like its others opinion that they were some kind of good group... i just dont appreciate ancient music at all. just not my bag.. i always heard about grateful dead. most older rocker people seem religious about it.. but having bought that pack. i cant figure out how they ever sold a single album.. but hey thats just me... everyone likes what they like.. it would be a boring world if everyone liked what you like and disliked what you dislike.

I have been to over 50 Grateful Dead shows and have never liked any of their studio albums....they were meant to be heard live where they could take songs into new territories and bring them back minutes later to a crescendo....they had a chemistry with the audience that was umatched and could only be felt if you were present.
The studio stuff is badly outdated and I dont even like playing the songs on Rock Band and the GD were my favorite band years ago.
If you ever get a chance to hear a live Grateful Dead soundboard quality show, you would at least understand what they were about. Peace.

I wonder if DLC will come out for RB 1 and 2, if I must get 2 to have access to dlc that would suck.

It's been confirmed a while back that DLC is cross-game compatible feature. Rock Band DLC is Rock Band DLC. It'll work for RB 1 and RB 2.
