"Rock Band’s unprecedented offering of over 70 songs to date currently available for purchase and download in the US will be made available in Europe beginning on Tuesday, May 27th. Each track will be available for 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360. Following that date, all new Rock Band Downloadable Content will be available simultaneously in the US and Europe on a weekly basis. For a complete list of Rock Band songs available for purchase to date, please go to http://www.rockband.com/dlc."

From the horses mouth, so to speak.

EDIT: According to a guy over at the official forums who won an IGN competition, the European drums have rubber on the pads, but I will wait and see.

How much is 160 points?
Songs are $1.99 on the PSN.

£1.

2100 points are easily available for less than £13. So they are comparable.

I might get the solus after I've found out whether its too easy. People have said its less challenging than GH.

Go watch a video of Thrasher, and tell me that's not challenging.

Yeah ok that looks quite hard, but thats DLC, what about the normal songs?

Looking at xbox achievements.org they state the career stuff for the achievements on the harder levels are no where near as hard as guitar hero's.....

Not that I think I will be able to do it, but you guys should walk it.

The drums though are supposed to be another matter

Is that instead of needing the sound supressors?

No idea.

If you haven't ordered already you can hold off buying the pads and I will let you know of the improvement if you like.

Selling my Wii atm so the money i get will go towards Rock Band

Just to clear this up though, the drums etc are £130 right? Then the game is £50? Is this correct?

Nope you can easily source the instrument pack for £99, use quidco for more discount and the game for about £35-37 minus quidco.

Woo, mine is packing!

Creature · 19 May 2008 at 15:55

My instruments are packing, but the game isn't

The game will be delayed but you'll still be able to sit and bash the drums!

I was going to just get the Solus version for now and use my GH2/3 guitars for just the guitar part of the game, mainly because I wasn't sure about the quality of the RB instruments. One of the reasons being the noise of drums. Do we think they have included noise surpressors with them and dowe think the quality of the drums and guitar might be better than first thought?? Argh I don't know what to do now!

Mine too, I bet you anything we get the instruments for the weekend but not the game. If that happens I will cancel the game and get it elsewhere.

ScarySquirrel · 19 May 2008 at 16:39

I have some vouchers so will probably pick up the game this weekend and get the instrument pack separately another time. I'll then sell my GH2 guitar with GH2 + 3 probably and keep the RB guitar and GH3 guitar

I'd just sell the GH2 guitar how could you let the GH2 game go

Wyrdo · 19 May 2008 at 16:46

I doubt I'll ever go back to GH - I should really sell 2+3 and get rid of one of my guitars.

Creature · 19 May 2008 at 16:50

I only have the multiplayer achievements left on GH2, so that may very well go soon.

It does have the game as order placed now, so fingers crossed.

Yeah orders placed but not in packing like the other part of the order.

Don't sell them Wyrdo, I couldn't sell my copies of the game. I like playing them after a beer or two way too much and way too loud
