Keyboards at 99 bucks are tempting.

I got one for xmas when I was back in the UK in December, didn't half chew up a fair whack of my luggage allowance though!

At least now I know I am as equally untalented with the Drums, Guitar AND Keyboards!

Nice to hear keyboards coming down. I still got to get Rock Band 3 to begin with.

Got my guitar... my god... all I can say is you real guitarists are legendary for being able to actually play!... lol..

Keyboards are hard. Takes me back to when my mum attempted to force me to play piano.

I see that an Irresponsibles song is out on RBN today for PS3... that's Edgelett's band isn't it?

[kiwiatlarge]

Yup it is... and you are right... hard to believe when I try and play keyboards that I once could do it for real...

Rock Band Blitz

Looks a little similar to the PSP version of the game where you swap between instruments using just the regular controller. Not sure I'll bother unless the 25 songs it comes with are decent.

Got a keyboard from one of Mighty Ape's daily deals, was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of the game in the box too

Can play expert keys but not very well. Haven't taken the plunge into pro keys yet

well, my band's song Break Me is now available on the PS3 version of the Rock Band Network!

I downloaded it about a month ago and man it's really hard to play the game version of a song you wrote the guitar part too lol!

finding it quite fun to play on the drums though

Been thinking about getting RB2 for a while now and as luck would have it I was looking through a bargain bin in some NZ shop the other week and they had one copy in there for $20! Snapped that up and have imported the songs into RB3.

Oh and I didn't realise this sale was on, so will be buying heaps of cheap songs for my next "Man Day" in a few weeks, Rock Band is a favourite then.
