    You could use this argument on a lot of genres.

    Video games are for fun. Spending three hours a day on chords or tabs or whatever just to be able to play a couple bars of a Rush song on a real guitar doesn't sound like too much fun to me.
    I agree with this. I bought a real guitar and I played it quite a bit at first, but it's just so cumbersome to learn that I can't quite get into it all the way. With two kids, an 8-5 and responsibilities around the house, I'd rather play pretend rock star than I would try to learn how to play any of this stuff for real.

      well how much effort and time does one have to put in to get a decent score on the highest difficulty levels? seems to me you would have to put in those same 3 hours per day. or maybe i just suck at the game.

      and honestly the guitar ain't that hard. you just need a teacher

        Honestly, it didn't take too long for me. Plus, I don't have to play the same song over and over to get better at that song, I can play other songs and naturally get better at playing the game in general.

        And some people don't play for the challenge as they settle on Medium (cheap shot at EG), so there are many things you have to take into consideration here.

                    They also released the full band difficulty ratings for the songs on the Green Day Rockband page.

                        Cool, I hope this is on the PS3 later today.

                        I got my $20 amazon credit for Mario Galaxy 2, so I put it down on Green Day. I just got the regular version, all the plus has extra is the DLC that I already have and the export code right? If I decide to export at a later time I can just buy it then right?

                          It appears this game is no joke, god look at that drum chart, go to 4:56 for the drum chart.

                            Yes.

                            Pre-order either version at Gamestop = Free export.
                            Plus version from anywhere = Free export.
                            Regular version = $10 export. No word if there's a code in the case or whatever but I would assume so.

                            I'm just going to rent it and take it out of the case. Well maybe,I don't think I really want to be stuck with 47 Green Day songs,37 of which I'll probably never play. Haven't read if they're deleteable yet or it's a package deal like the Lego game.

                            I'll have to dust off the Les Paul so I can try out the demo later.

                            Here's one of the DLC songs in action in this game:

                              Cool, that's what I thought. No songs have been deletable on the PS3 yet, so I doubt these are, but I really wouldn't mind them mixed in with my RB2 songs anyway. But the reason I really don't care about the export is that I generally play songs in groups of artists rather than a shuffle list, so if I'm in a Green Day mood, I'll just put this disc in. Also I'll play off the Green Day disc in order to get the PS3 trophies

                                I don't mind having them mixed,it's just the really large ammount of Green Day songs in comparison to others (for me the current most is 19 AC/DC songs and 15 Who songs)...then there's the hard drive space. Only RB 1 has been deleteable on 360 when it comes to imports.

                                I enjoyed the demo for the most part. I was having an awful time on guitar and thought it was just the Les Paul/HDMI lag but it appears a lot of people are having problems with calibration and not having hyperspeed. Vocals seemed to be even further improved. Also yay for crowd activity.
