Ok so I NEED to get RB now that Moving Pictures is coming out. I don't want to get the 360 version because of the stupid hard drive and the ever present fear of the system dying. However I'm worried about the guitar compatibility stuff. Help ease my fears. From what I understand, the 360 has no problems between the instruments and the GH-RB games. Will the better GH guitars eventually work on RB 1 and 2 on PS3? Is the Rock Band guitar really much worse than the GH guitars? (I'm not planning on playing the drums as I play them in real life)

I can give you my non-expert opinion on the guitars (I can 4-5 star all songs on Hard, but get 3 & 4 stars on Expert songs). I'm not a fan of Rush (although I do know about Geddy Lee, Best Bass Player ever), so perhaps either Rush fans (who are familiar with the charting of those songs) or more hard-core players can give you better insight. Note, I play RB on a 360.

I personally prefer the RB Stratocaster over the GH III Les Paul. I love the fret buttons on the Strat, which are flush with the rest of the neck. I find it easier to slide my hand up and down, and i also find it easier to register notes as the buttons are slight bigger and there's little space in between each. The fret buttons are louder (more clicky) than the Les Paul, but its not something that's ever bothered me.
I do prefer the strum bar on the Les Paul, though. I typically only downstrum, and the Les Paul seems to register the strums better (especially on songs with 16th or 32nd notes); I find it easier to recognize exactly when a note is registered on the Les Paul. On the down-side for the Les Paul, I found sometimes frets wouldn't register unless the detachable neck was pushed in well, which others have experienced (but nowhere near as bad as the Strat strum bar issues people had initially).
Having said all that, I got used to the strum bar on my Strat (after RMA'ing my original one), and could live with missing some of the 16th/32nd notes (I probably just need more practice). I just found the feel of the frets more to my liking, which I found more important to me in the majority of songs I enjoy playing. Of course, everyone else in my family prefers to use the Les Paul when playing RB, but they rarely play above medium difficulty.

Good to know. Thanks a lot of the opinion. Someone else on Amazon has a really good review of the Strat. It sounds like they've gotten a bit more reliable since the initial shipments. I think I'll just go with that now and then make it my 2nd guitar once the RB2/GHWT guitars come out and pick one of those as my #1.

I might be tempted to take this on right away but I;m not sure. anyways should be a great tool dofr practicing tricky drums or for learning if you are just starting off.

BTW thanks to some decent profits at my garage sale this weekend I was able to fully reserve and pay off RB2 the new drums and the new strat controller. all that's left is to reserve my mad catz cymbals.

My 40GB PS3 had an optical drive failure this past weekend rendering it useless for games and movies. Considering the length of time it is going to take for Sony to fix this under warranty and knowing that Moving Pictures is coming out this week, I couldn't wait so I went out and picked up one of the new 80GB models.

I backed up my old hard drive on an external drive and then restored it on my new machine. No issues ecept for the fact that Rock Band content cannot be copied to a new machine. So I spent most of last night downloading the 100 or so songs from my DLC so I can begin a new career.

After restarting expert on tier 1, I decided to see if any of my old career scores were still in the online leaderbord since I am using the same screen name and account as my other PS3. Sure enough, my scores are still out there including my career score.

Hopefully those scores will stay there and won't be overwritten with my current career score that I just started with. Otherwise, I will go from 7.5 million down to about 500k!

So, crappy weekend overall and now I have to redo my entire expert career which I had just finished about 3 weeks ago after being stuck so long on DFTR.

For any of you with the 40GB PS3 with a manufaturing date of September 2007, be aware that these have a large failure rate for the optical drives (blu-ray player). Unfortunately for me, I found out the hard way!!

That does suck but that's why you can't trust those products from the future. The whole interdimensional warp effects still aren't understood properly.

Well I picked it up yesterday and my initial impressions are that I don't like this guitar. Hopefully it'll grow on me and I'll get used to it but right now I'm worse on Medium on RB than I was on Hard on the GH games. It just seems to not register the strum on a note or two in a long string of fast notes and the fret buttons are SO stiff and "clacky." They feel like they had pop spilled underneath them and are all sticky now (yes I got a new one). I'm thinking about returning it all for the 360 version and the Les Paul afterall. I loved that guitar but really didn't think I would find this one to be so bad. I know that new RB2 guitars will be coming out but this was going to be my 2nd guitar and even then, I'm not sure I want it. The overdrive or "star power" doesn't register like 8 times out of 10. I have to practically flip the thing upside down.

I'm going to give it more time tonight and hopefully I'll start getting used to it/better with it.

if yoru having problems on runs. I'd say you need to adjust the lag via the calibration wizard. It really makes a difference with RB.

I hear ya. I had a Sept. 2007 40 gig and, of course, the optical drive failed so I had to get it repaired under warranty. I also sent it in at the same time as a deluge of other Sept. 2007s were breaking, so I ended up with a epic wait time of one month.

But in case you haven't found out yet, your score won't be overwritten. It'll just pick up where you left off once you have completed all the songs again.

Not necessarily runs but just like straight 8th or 16th notes on a single color. Say if there are 25 conesecutive notes, 1 or 2 in there won't register and it doesn't make any sense. I'll try the calibration. It's either that or the strum bar itself.

Not being able to copy the save data is really aggravating. I have 2 systems, and it stinks to not be able to copy back and forth. I can copy my save data on every other game I have.

After 3 RMAs, I got a guitar that's lasted several months and it still going well. However, I prefer the Explorer and wish I had gotten RB for the 360 but I've invested so much into the DLC, what am I going to do?

The calibration has never been reliable for me. It is all over the map every time. Some people do have better luck, so I read. I've manually set it but it has never seemed exactly right. It's close. It may be in part due to my own skills (or lack of skills) but I can observe the slight irregularity of timing of a/v and strum lag. I also find that the solo buttons have DIFFERENT timing than the regular buttons which has made passing GGAHT even harder to pass.

I've taken to just playing (mostly my DLC) for "fun" here and there because it's too frustrating.

I'd love to see the 360 version for comparison.

I may end up just returning the guitar after playing Moving Pictures for a few days and waiting for the better guitars to come out for RB2 or GHWT. They say they added an accelerometer for better overdrive sensing and a better strum bar. I don't know. We'll see.

I have the wireless 360 strat and after a couple tries my calibration dead or at least as far as I can tell. RB2's manual calibration was overhauled and made much easier to perform and access your lag situation. But of course the auto calibration will be the best method

OK so I go to my doctor for a nagging pain in my thumb knuckle closest to my thumbnail. If i just touch it, it hurts.

After x-rays and a 'normal' report from the radiologist for the joint and cartilidge, my doctor asks me whether I play Guitar Hero. I said "yes I play that as well as Rock Band."

She said well you have a common guitarists injury. Basically its a tendon strain of the tendon that runs down forearm to the back of the thumb and the injury can happen anywhere between the forearm to the end of the thumb.

Yay! somone thinks Im a guitarist! ...and i have to wear a thumb brace for a month and ... no RockBand guitar =(

Going to give drums a whirl tonight =P

LOL, I'll bet RB's lawyers are scrambling right now on the verbiage for their injury disclaimer!

Hmmm, RB-pseudo-guitarists, keep your eyes out for a class-action suit in the next couple of years.

Unfortunately I've already announced that I'm a pseudo-drummer...

Yes, law firms do scour forums when building their lawsuits (or counter-lawsuits)...

But to get back on track:
This has probably already been covered a few thousand posts back, but frankly I am too lazy to read this entire thread! RMA'd a guitar a couple of months back when it would occasionally not get recognized by the PS2 controller. Found out later that I had to back out to the main menu and then go back in and have it re-recognize the different instruments plugged in, so try this first before RMA'ing your guitar. This seemed to happen exclusively in multi-user mode.

Ah tendonitis. I get that from typing sometimes. Makes it hard to work, since my job consists of talking on the phone and typing. Luckily, I haven't had RB guitar cause a flare up, even when I've been playing almost constantly for weeks. It's the worst, when like you, the tendon ends up pinching a nerve and causing wacko pains in your hand.

If it makes you feel any better, reading your post caused sympathy pains.

Rock Band 2 Avatars To Be Printed in 3D


By Eliot Van Buskirk August 25, 2008 | 10:16:29 AMCategories: Music and Games
The next iteration of guitar-based videogames, Rock Band 2 (MTV/Harmonix, September 14), will offer something previous versions have lacked: the ability to buy a real-life figurine version of your custom-created characters. Z Corporation -- so-named for its printing technology, which handles not only the X and Y axes but also the Z axis for a total of three dimensions -- will manufacture a six-inch Rock Band Bandmate figurine out of your custom-created character, for less than the price of one ticket to a Rolling Stones concert: $75.

Players will be able to use the game's normal avatar creation engine to "create variety of body styles, faces, makeup options, hair styles and tattoos," said Scott Harmon, Z Corporation's vice president of business development. "Users can also design a band logo and have that applied to a (virtual) T-shirt, and then you control clothing, footwear, hats and instruments."

According to him, Z Corporation is the only 3D printing company that can handle color. "You can't do this without our technology," he said.

Once a character (video) has been created within the game, it gets automatically uploaded to MTV/Harmonix's servers, where it'll be accessible via the web. You'll be able to pose position into a specific position, enter payment information and Z Corporation will manufacture one unit of your design using its bank of 3D printers. Harmon told us they're "about the same size as small- to mid-sized office copying machines."

Z Corporation's printing process (video) involves laying down a thin layer of powder in the shape of the cross section of the object to be created. An ink jet printer prints a "binder" in that cross-section, then a "build piston" hammers down to create that cross-section in plastic. The process is repeated until the character is complete. Each one takes about a day to create, says Harmon, and the company "can double or triple capacity in weeks" in case demand grows intense. The goal, he says, is to expand capacity to the point that all orders will ship in under a month, no matter how popular Bandmates get.

The process offers a whole new type of merchandising opportunities for bands, videogames and other companies. Promotional figurines have been a big deal for years, but not with this degree of customization. According to Harmon, the door is wide open to create a wide variety of characters, as long as you don't include a band logo such as the Rolling Stones' trademark lips and tongue. (However, he said, the game's face-designing engine isn't so precise that one could make a character that looked exactly like Mick Jagger.)

"What you're dealing with on a global level is brand new way to deliver licensed content to consumers," said Harmon. "It's a multi-billion dollar industry. This could create a new branch of it, where consumers experience it not in a mass produced way, but interact in a selective and personalized way. MTV/Harmonix is visionary in picking up on its potential."


He said future examples could potentially involve manufacturing World or Warcraft avatars, customized South Park figurines and so on. "This is the beginning of a whole new way for consumers to interact with the content they enjoy," said Harmon.


I agree. If regular people are the new stars, we may as well be available as action figures.

I'm intrigued. Alex the Pres of HMX has been hinting at this for a long time. The price is high but If I make a cool enough(or funny enough) design I'll have to bite.

I also found that if the guitar was not recognized... like it wasn't turned on that if I removed the dongle and plugged it back in that it worked fine. I RMA'd 2 guitars for this problem before I clued in to the solution

Anyone else as highly amused as I am by Bob Dylan being listed as having the most difficult vocals?

Yeah, I'm going to return this guitar and just wait for either the RB2 or GHWT guitars. This thing is just awful in so many ways. Tried calibrating too. Even that doesn't make up for the overdrive sensor which almost never works.

I dunno...that guy slides all over the freakin' place, just like Mick in Gimme Shelter. In Rock Band, that makes for a colossal pain in the @ss on Expert vocals...
