   I can't believe how well this game is updated with DLC Content, I find myself buying awesome new songs atleast once a month. While I check the store, i compare the songs available on Rock Band to those on Guitar Hero, and laugh at the no-name bands they throw out there, expecting people to buy them. Rock Band itself is great, except the last few songs feel like they are 15 minutes long each, and the last song set of the game is a concert, consisting of maybe 7 of these songs, all of which are EXTREMELY LONG. Luckily though, Quick Play allows the game to exceed expectations and be the greatest peripheral instrument game on the market.… Expand

   It takes the fun of Guitar Hero and raises it exponentially. Not only does it offer awesome fun for your whole group (and even to an individual), but Harmonix has done a great job of making sure new, RELEVANT songs are released every week that keep people entertained!… Expand

   Excellent gameplay is matched only with "pretty good" graphics. Local multiplayer is by far the most satisfying game play mode. My guitar controller's strummer broke after about ten hours of play (registering only upward strums). However, I was very impressed by the warranty replacement speed. A new guitar was in-hand within three days. Besides the hefty price for the bundled package, also worth considering is the "cost" of storing the musical instrument-shaped components. If you live in an apartment or dorm with limited storage space (my situation involves pushing things to the side of the room), you will be living with Rock Band even on the days you are not playing it. Also, the drums in particular can be quite loud. Again, if you live in an apartment, expect your neighbors to complain as you play late into the night. Last, my 40GB PS3 only has two USB ports, so I had to buy a hub so drums, guitar, and vocals can be played at the same time.
   
   Pros- Lots of fun, particularly when playing locally with friends. Rapid warranty replacement was great.
   
   Cons- Graphics are somewhat weak. Jury is still out on whether the hardware will stand up to prolonged use. Should come with a USB hub. Costly.
   
   Bottom Line: Whether it's worth the money will vary from person to person. I am particularly frugal, so I was uncomfortable paying so much for a video game. However, it's easy to see what you are paying for--hardware and excellent gameplay.… Expand

   Game seems to be good but there is one glaring flaw. The SIXAXIS controller cannot be used to play the instruments. It is common notion that there will be people going to play it using SIXAXIS. And they even released a disc-only package. But that's the point of releasing that if it needs instruments? They should have warned in their website that SIXAXIS play is not possible.… Expand
