Kendrene - I bet Sony will introduce the same used-game mechanics MS will have. If not, I shall eat my purple top hat.

Have Xbox, will learn guitar

Sometimes lawsuits get in the way of achievement hunters, and Rocksmith is a pretty good example. Because of some complicated legal stuff, Rocksmith's European release was delayed. Now that it's almost time to grab your guitars and rock it out, a new trailer has been released, explaining the teaching approach behind the game.

Rocksmith will be released in Europe on September 27th. This version of the game will also include the option to plug in and play with a bass guitar, an option that is already available to American guitarists through DLC.

I kind of really want to get this game, bring my guitar down from 'home home' and get to learning it properly and rock it out.
Something is holding me back though. Maybe the fear of lag? Maybe I want some more song packs for my taste. I dunno.
I really want someone I know to get it so I can try it out first. But even then, it may not handle by pretty rubbish guitar.
Hmmmmmm.....what to do, what to do.

The lag isn't bad, about that of rock band 3. They are releasing song packs about once a month, which keeps it fresh. The true problem is that the game moves too quickly, expecting you to be at the starting level for a new song as you finished the song you just played three or four times.
Wise words come from the lips of understanding, but foolish words will be punished by the rod.

I think i might wait until it comes down in price, because its pretty expensive atm. It'll no doubt be about £20ish around christmas time.

Bandfuse will knock this outta the water, the track listing for this game is pretty lackluster when you compare the 2.

I'm digging it. My motivation level to learn guitar at this point is kind of low, but maybe I'll finally sit down and give it a real shot once I stop having so many other games to play lol.
You deserve better than this, and I deserve to be alone.

I preordered this game a while ago. After buying Borderlands 2, Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs in the past weeks, my wallet is hurting, but I am dying to play this and finally dust off my old guitar for once.

GameStop doesn't even take Rocksmith for trade in because its so rare for people to even trade it.. I doubt you will ever see it that low at all... It's not a game, but a tool...

WhiskeyWarriors said:forget rock band this is whats its about, quick and easy 1k no matter how hard it isSounds like an Oxy-Moron to me "quick and easy 1k no matter how hard it is"

You better be quite talented to quick and easy Rocksmith buddy!!

Looking forward to getting this game at some point (will be a good check on my theory knowledge), but I do have one question: does the game come with a guitar to usb cable, or do you have to buy one separately? I've seen the cable being sold separately on various websites.
