Maybe I just missed it in previous articles or posts, but that article scan says there is a "no fail mode" that you can enable in the options so you don't have to worry about failing a song. Kind of a nice addition.

How cool would it be if HMX put up Ray Parker Jr's 'Ghostbusters' to tie in with the Blu-ray and game release in October?

I am all over that Ion drum kit. I was messing with the idea of hooking up parts from my busted Rock Band kit to my Pearl kit...but now I will just wait for the Ion. Looks fantastic.

From the Game Informer article: Buttons don't click so loudly on the guitar?
The main reason I don't use my RB guitar is because I can't hear any noise when I click the button, and they don't travel much so sometimes I don't know if I actually pressed it hard enough.
I can't imagine them being softer than the current "silent". Looks like I'm sticking with my GH3 controller.

The thing I dislike most about the ION kit is there's only three cymbals. For a lefty like myself, the crash would be the red pad, and well, there isn't one.
If I can't reconfigure the kit to function in lefty mode, then they just lost a sale.

Yeah, the other question will be the issue of hi-hat being assigned to red on songs like Run to the Hills. If you spend a lot on the ION kit, it would be a drag to have to play the red pad with 3 free cymbals.
Anyway, HMX says no additional DLC announcements today with The Who coming next week.
Then a response in a thread over there in terms of RB2:
My god man. I can't take anymore.

I'm thinking Tuesday. They don't want to detract from people dropping those 1600 points on the Who pack on Tuesday.

We'll see in a couple of months (or maybe with a hands-on preview earlier).

I'm pretty sure that Rock Band 2 is going to be featured on GTTV on Spike tonight (or early AM). Expect to see some of the first gameplay videos and such if you're interested.
