Damn it, I may just have to purchase Rock Band now. "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" by Stephen and the Colberts was released as a free download today.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

True, but how come the Rock Band 2 bundle is $189, whereas the Rock Band 1 bundle was released at $169 (and can be found for $149 or lower now)? I shouldn't complain in light of the PAL release, but what's changed that they're charging $20 extra?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not complaining, Lord British, as my quote says. I just wanted to know if their was something extra I was missing, or they were just jacking the price for lulz (which would be really stupid, since the Rock Band 1 bundles are bound to drop in price now).

The Special Edition (with all the instruments) RB2 doesn't come out until November. With the increase in price, seems like I'd do just as well to buy the game, wireless guitar, and drum set piecemeal, use my XBL microphone, and rent RB1 so I can import the songs. Not saying I'm going to rush out and buy it, but I've considered it for awhile now, and the song list just keeps getting better.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Bumping this thread with a stupid question. I picked up Rock Band 2 today (awesome sale at Toys R Us, $110 for the complete set, plus $25 gift card). How does one change instruments? For example, it's just me playing off my console; if I start in my band playing drums, and then I want to switch to guitar, do I have to turn off my console for the game to recognize the guitar as my gamertag instead of "Player 2", or is there some simpler way of doing it? If I play as "Player 2", I wouldn't be working towards any of the achievements, correct? I tried turning off the drums, but then it keeps telling me to reconnect the controller.

If anyone's up for some jamming, I'm on 360, gamertag nuttyturnip.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That makes sense. I hadn't thought about just signing out the first controller.

I was speaking idiomatically.
