Now you can buy the drums and the mic by themselves. You can also buy the game by itself.
They have not released the guitar by itself yet (although iirc you can use the guitar from GHII and GHIII on RB on the 360 version).

Harmonix is saving me some money next week. You couldn't pay me to download the Dead.
Hopefully this means we're getting closer to getting all of Who's Next, though.

I was looking forward to the Thrash pack but I think these songs will add a facet to the game that isn't represented now, so that's cool. I think they will be fun.

- Made of cheap plastic, doesn't feel sturdy at all.
- wired
- failure rate is probably somewhere about the level of RROD
Then personal reasons:
- Not a fan of the recessed buttons (easier to lose where you are)
- select button in an awkward spot for someone that doesn't do the motion
- missing the click... you heard me right, I like the click of the strum on the LP, it helps me keep up with what's going on on screen.

It's less bulky, I don't mind that it's wired, mine hasn't failed, I love the recessed buttons, select button is easier for me, and I hate the click.
