Yet another reason for Taco Bell to start a delivery service. COME ON! As soon as they legalize weed, this will be a necessity, might as well start now.
Whats the source on the 100 million 30 million details? I haven't seen that before.
Haha I'm not saying that GHWT is any better, I like both games equally probably, I havent had enough time to figure out...

Though its funny because you're the one who posted

"Rock Band 2 is the better game"

about three posts before mine. You calling me out on anything is pretty silly.
Are you sure you're playing GHWT? The notes with the white outlines, you hit harder for bonus points. Did you not RTFM?
ORLY? Real drums have the cymbals in a straight line? GHWT represents different hi hat strokes them by having you hit them harder.

Probably was a mistake to try to bring sanity to blog comments.
To preempt all the rampant fanboyism that joystiq usually sees on the RB2 GHWT issues:

Neither games suck, they are both equally good with minor differences.

Rock band has an arguably better interface.

Guitar hero has a song creator and more expansive character creator.

Rock band has an arguably better guitar

Guitar hero has a better drum set (sans kick pedal).

Both games have merits and drawbacks, stop just saying OMG SHIT SUX IM STICKING WITH ROCKBAND KTHXBAI.
As a fake drummer I'll have to say that the drums are massively superior to rock band's. The style of play is much more fun and complex than rock band. The pedal is kind of cheesy though, but its quieter than the RB2 one, and if you live on a 3rd floor apartment that's sort of important i think. They are supposed to be compatible, maybe I can just plug in the RB2 pedal, though I haven't tried that yet.

As a mechanical engineer I'm kind of worried about the cymbals though. They are made of some sort of hard rubber, but I can imagine them tearing at some point... hopefully that wont happen. From what I hear you have to pay to ship broken stuff back :/
Looks like I'll have to buy the TN30 for my constant road trips to Puerto Rico.
I didn't say rock band didn't do it too..
I think that's really abusing the DLC model. If you have a ton of DLC ready to go on launch it should just be in the game. Were already gonna be paying $180 bucks, and then they want us to pay how much more for extra tracks lying around at launch. I can understand having more and more tracks later to supplement, but goddamn this pisses me off.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
