Really can't wait for Rocksmith to hit the UK, I'm a guitar player who loves to play, and a game for Xbox that I can use my personal guitars on, this purchase was never needed to be considered.

I would have also bought the Bullet pack for Rock Band, they're my favourite all-time band, met them a few years back too, real nice guys, though I no longer have the game, typical isn't even the word... cry

The bikes are a total joke if you ask me.
You fall off them so easily even going 10mph you will come off.

Gotta love random free stuff with MA3 to take up space on your hard drive. Harleys revenge looks pretty badass though.
