And frankly, it's not the price I expect to be an issue. It's the extra plastic instruments sitting in our apartment.

Community Countdown - Day 9: Easier than Easy? Possible?
Community Countdown - Day 9: Easier than Easy? Possible? - Guitar Hero: World Tour will sport a new difficulty that is easier than easy. This mode will be known as Rhythm mode where you do not have to strum any of the notes. All you have to do is make sure you are pressing the right frets. I know there are a lot of expert players, but I am sure you can appreciate this mode for beginners. When you first played Gutiar Hero do you think this mode would have helped you more in becoming the player you are now?

No Fail in RB2 is a resounding success.
There was nothing worse than failing a song and killing a party just because someone can drum or work the guitar properly.

It's absolutely necessary! Not as much for the GH players, but for the family and friends those players are going to finally be able to share this with.

I thought there was talk about a kid friendly mode where as long as they pressed ANY fret it counted. This says you have to press the correct fret w/o strumming.
So in No Fail you can just stand there with the guitar hanging around your neck?

What he said.
Still a large segment that wants to play the game but doesn't "get it" yet. This option will come in handy.

Still think there should be a party mode on these games just for that reason.
So every one at your party can see how they did that night and have competitions and such, round robin, or king of the hill type play style and matching. Have the game make auto matches and such for every one in party mode.
Lots of potential lost by not including this.

Launch DLC details (from http://arstechnica.com/journals/thum...h-dlc-detailed)
I hope you can buy individual songs from the packs. I already have "Rock and Roll Band" on RB, but I'd like "Jessie's Girl" and "Hot Blooded". 
to "No Rain". I've been wanting that in Rock Band for a while.
Edit: Beaten to the punch by Kelkee!
From his post:
Nice.
The Classic Rock Track Pack features Boston's "Rock and Roll Band"; Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl"; and Foreigner's "Hot Blooded." Blind Melon's "No Rain" will also be available as a single download.
Xbox 360 owners will also get a timed exclusive track pack during launch, featuring a trio of R.E.M songs. These songs include "Horse To Water," Man-Sized Wreath," and "Supernatural Superserious," all from the band's latest album.
...
In addition to the various track packs, a pair of Guitar Duels—original compositions by Ted Nugent and Zakk Wylde—will be available as free downloads when the game is released. Activision also announced that those who downloaded Metallica's "Death Magnetic" album in Guitar Hero III will not have to re-buy the album for the new version of the game. That would make it the only piece of GHIII DLC that is forward compatible.

Both. I love all 4 of those songs, but I don't want to get into a "this game has these songs and that game has those songs" divide when I'm trying to enjoy with friends. I want as much as possible to be under one flagship.
I'm not going to want to switch from RB to GH when our setlist goes from Bad to the Bone to No Rain and then back for Any Way You Want It and back for Hot Blooded.
I'm not liking the way things are shaping up, but I'm not holding it against either party either.
