    I'm thinking RB2 must be imminent over here (aus) because RB1 is getting major discounts everywhere. At some stores you can get the full band game for $115 - is it worth it?


    For comparison, GH:WT is around $230

    Or should I wait for RB2 or is RB1 a steal at this price, or are the instruments rubbish? Cheers!

    I'd get the disc, but not the drums. The RB2 drums are much better. How much is the disc alone by comparison?

    Get it, but it's a tough decision to choose between the full bundle or just the game. If you're able to find out when RB2 comes out, and it is soon, then I suggest just getting the RB1 disc and waiting for the RB2 instruments (the latter drums are phenomenally better).

    Disc only, man. Get RB2 instruments, but you're gonna want those songs on your hard drive.

    Cheers for the tips. Might just grab the RB1 disc and import RB2 from UK... I still have a broken GH:WT set that is still under warranty, I'll just get them fixed...

    Just get the disc, dude. Get the better hardware for the 2nd game, and the 1st game has a lot of great songs.
