i will be getting GH:WT.
i have been waiting for Rockband from before it was Released in America. it seams that they only put a Australian release date on it now because they want to sell as many of them in Australia before World Tour provides competition and shop space.
as for rock band having DLC and Backwards compatibility. that only affects you (Australians) if you have imported a copy of the game. if you have to make the choice in the store i would choose Guitar Hero over RB.
and remember there will always be a Guitar hero V

my vote is for guitar hero. ive always been a guitar hero fan and think the gameplay is better by far. also the gh intruments are going to be alot more sturdy and heavy duty, not to mention the touch pad on the guitar and the elevated cymbols. the rockband 2’s instruments my be better than the ones before, but i still have nightmares of my drum pedal snapping in the middle of a song.

I *was* going to get RB1 when there was rumors of a April/May release, but since RB2 is probably going to be released in the US before we get RB1 (which is just plain WRONG), I wouldn't even accept either one as a gift. OK, maybe I would... But only so I could have the pleasure of watching it burn...

I probably wont bother with GH:WT either. I could probably find an almost brand new drum kit (my instrument of choice) for a similar price, thanks to people buying them with the intention of learning how to play, and then leaving them to gather dust within a few days and then selling them for a fraction of the original cost. As for the music, I've got plenty of CDs I can learn to mimic, and I'm not paying for cover versions of songs.

I haven't seen a confirmed US release date on GH:WT or an Australian release date for RB...

Maybe the reason that EA is releasing RB1 here in october is because they know that Activision isn't releasing GH:WT in australia this year?

Rockband for me.

Whilst the Guitar Hero "make your own song" thing really appeals to me, the amount of content already out for and backwards compatible with Rockband appeals to me more.

I'll be getting both...eventually. I have RB1 and GHIII and have barely touched GHIII since buying RB, due to the RB guitar being much better to play, so depending on compatibility, I'll probably go the whole RB2 kit, and use them in GH:WT.
I'm finding it very interesting that people are choosing RB based on GHIII's lack of downloadable content though.
GHIII never promised any content, and we've already got loads more than they did for GHII, as well as a fair few free songs which are amongst the most fun to play.
On the other hand, RB promised a full album every week and have failed to deliver on that. Most of the albums they promised are never going to happen.

Rock Band 2 here. Rock Band already has a strong DLC line up behind it, as well as a pretty strong set list, in addition to the fact that the note charts are still based off how the songs are played instead of taking a slayer song, and adding random notes to it just to make it harder. Because of that, I didn’t get the same enjoyment out of GH3 that I did out of 1&2. That said, I probably won’t be the one buying it, one of my friends will. Instead, I’ll be the guy putting in money for that carton of beer to help us tour the world.

As much as we moan and whine about EA’s staggered release, have we heard anything from Activision about the Aussie release date for GH:WT?
