I did it. I bought Rock Band for the PS3 and it is definitely worth it! I have had Guitar Hero II and III for a while now, but just recently I got to playing them again. I will be the first to admit that I have no rhythm. I can fuck up clapping to the beat of a song. So that fact that I can play most of GH and RB on medium for the guitar is a huge step for me. I think if I practiced a little more I could make the jump to hard, but I am not nearly ready for that. On the drums, I am on easy right now and I find it harder to get use to then the guitar. Singing, forget about it. I suck moose cock on singing. I can’t even go into detail of the level of suckage that I am probably at for singing. The whole reason I don’t sing during the national anthem at hockey games is because I am sure someone will probably punch me in the face. So, I only sing when no one is around.

I like the selection in both games and a little more in GH because it has been around longer. I haven’t downloaded any of the music for RB at the Playstation Store, but I am pretty sure there is a decent collection.
Dislikes
The fact that the guitars are cross-platform incompatible. Right now I have GH for the PS2 and RB for the PS3. But I was thinking of buying the newing GH games for the PS3 and using my RB guitar, but nope! They are not compatible. How fucked is that? My other dislikes with the guitars are that on RB, the buttons are narrower and closer together then they are for GH. I am forever fat fingering the buttons. But I am sure I will get use to it. And in GH, I hate the clicking for the strumming and I find the buttons rigid. I should mention that I use the TAC Freedom V wireless controller and not the wired controller that comes with the package.
In the end, I think both games are worth their price and I am sure I will get many hours of game play out of it.
