A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I've been going through these comments, and now I don't know what to make of this thing. At first I was all "wow, they really expect us to just buy ervry piece of crap that they can slap a ROCK BAND logo on, huh?"But, If this works as they say it will, all cued up to the lights and smoke in the game, then, I can't help but think "I bet that'll be awesome at parties" I had rock band set up at my place all through out these past holidays, and it was such a hit with everybody. Just from the hours of entertainment it provided, it more than paid for both my xbox, and the game. I guess I'll have to see one in action before I got dropping yet another c-note on rock band stuff.
As for the people downing people who play Rock Band and Guitar Hero- nobody cares what you think, and if you all could remove whatever crawled up your @$$e$ and loosen up, you might find that these games are a ton of fun to play. And if you still don't like them, then fine, nobody said you had to anyway. They're games, and if you don't like a game, then you don't have to play. Let the rest of us have our fun, go play "pretentious hero", or "anti-social hero" or what ever boring games you like to play.
this is just ridiculous!!
with the rising price of vid games as it is, u would have to be crazy to spend 100 bucks of sweat on this crap!

lol
To anybody out there considering purchasing it...
God help you.
Are you kidding! There's no way I'm buying until the box reads "interactive light, smoke stage show and MORE COWBELL".

I heard the next add-on to Rockband is going to be called Rockband Groupies and its basically a software mod that tells you its pregnant after each big show.
Three words: German light show!

I am awaiting my 18" Stonehenge props that drop on cue.
Which way to the stage?
props for quoting the best rock film EVER
Wow.
I thought we were trying to move away from the image that these games make you feel like a rockstar.
we are? I must have missed that memo :/
Yeah, that would be the whole point of these games.
Okay, I'll admit, Rock Band and Guitar Hero are incredibly fun and sometimes I actually do feel like I'm "rocking out", but this is ridiculous. If you have to take your video game experience this far, you might as well learn to play a real instrument.
Wow! That was the most original comment I've ever read! Thank you so much for commenting, robothouse! Such witty and original banter is the only reason I wake up in the morning!
And yet his comment is more highly ranked than your own.
Sounds like someone fell off their homemade stage this morning?
@robothouse, totally agree.
So if you know how to play a real instrument, then you automatically get a light show with fog machine? How about I just buy this fog machine add-on and not go through years of learning an instrument?
I actually agree with MDB, I'm sick of people with the comments saying "learn a real instrument". F OFF!!! I like virtual instruments, and don't have time for the real thing!!!
Whew, much better. :)
the reason that people don't want to play real instruments is that their fingers are to fat to pull the strings
Real guitars are for old people.
ROOOBBOOOTT HOUUSEEEEE!
i just really wanted to say.. err type that. its fun, try it. well saying it anyway.
how long will they take to come up with blow-up groupies?
You can already get those... You just have to go into a "different" sort of store. ;)
This will not help you get chicks.
But I've never seen a virtual crowd go this wild!
As if we didnt have enough fail in the world... They already have them you just cant buy them at gamestop.
Limited time offer: coupon that guarantees that you will never, EVER, get laid! A $20 offer, your's free just for calling!
next they'll come out with the fake needles and pills you do before you rock out that can go along with being a rocker :-P
heroine hero FTW!
You never catch the dragon.
You never know.. If you keep trying, you might catch him one day.

I'm in a real rock band and we don't have an interactive light and smoke stage show!
Tehn obviously your not a real Rock Band, LMAO. jk jk
yeah, my band is too cheap to care about lights...
but we do have a fog machine, and it smells like maple syrup with a hint of second hand smoke...
@Taylor, you make it sound like you're playing at Waffle House.
I can't wait for my Call of Duty 4 vest add on that sprays blood all over the room when i'm shot.
LOL
AAAAHHHHH!!!! YOU KILLED GADGIE THE ENGADGET MASCOT!
Can someone please tell me when this game's going to make its way into the clutches of us Europeans? The UK is practically the birthplace of rock!
USA! USA! USA!
USA! USA! USA!
umm..where did you come up with that "fact"? Granted, at several points throughout history you guys have out-rocked us.. but rock n roll's a U.S. invention.
"practically" ...but not quite.
I think this is for the Rock Band Expansion, Rock Band: Back Stage Pass.
This this, you get to hit buttons and pull levers on beat with the band's performance. It's for those people that have always wanted to be part of the technical crew!
...I'd play it.
Ok, I'll be in the minority in saying this, but this would be pretty cool provided that it is synchronized with the music.
