    We just got Rock Band 2 for the Xbox with mic, guitar, and drum kit for $79.

    I finally bit the bullet and got it for Christmas for the boys.

    It also has the AC/DC expansion pack...

    www.rockband99.com is the site.

    Great deal.

    I love Rock band. Since I have zero abilities actually playing an instrument, it makes me feel like a Rock Star for about an hour. Its fun, and the kids should love it. 5 star purchase. The Beatles pack comes out in a month or so. The instruments you bought will be compatible with it too.

    Yep, legit.......it expires at the end of August...they probably are trying to get some $$$$ at the end of a weak quarter to help drive profits.

    I don't suppose they are going to come out with a Beatles game for GHWT are they?

    Did we buy the wrong game? :(

    It looks like the guitar, microphone and drum kit are from the original Rock Band bundle and not the Rock Band 2 bundle. Can anyone confirm? I think they are selling this with the first generation instruments and packing the second Rock Band software and a AC/DC track list. If I'm not mistaken, Amazon.com was selling the Rock Band 2 bundle (Rock Band 2 instruments and software) for 99 a few weeks ago.

    Good point -- the difference is RB2 instruments are wireless, right? Still a great deal, but something to consider.

    Depends on the system I believe.

    Guitars and Drumkit for PS3 Rock Band are wireless no matter which bundle. The Mic I'm not sure about.

    Yeah, Rock Band 2 (from all the reviews I've read) had wireless instruments and better instrument design in general. The drum kit was said to sound a lot softer/better than the first generation design. For those who don't mind spending the extra 20 dollars on amazon.com's version of this deal with Rock Band 2 instruments, here is a link Rock Band 2 at Amazon.com

    Don't mean to crap on the this deal, it's still sweet for only 79. Just wanted to clear up something that looked off when I went to the website.

    I've had a RB1 and a RB2 Drum Kit and I can say the only difference is that the pads are a little better at absorbing the constant beating, wireless is better though if you are contrasting.

    The GHWT Drum Kit was just bizarre, although I did like the "Create your own track" part.

    I'm trying to possibly get this for a relative, but I don't play these kind of games. Can you tell me if the following is the new one or the one with updated instruments or whatever? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...nd+2&lp=14&type=product&cp=1&id=1215818943105

    If it says Rock Band 2 on the Box, you're getting the RB2 instruments with the bundle. I still use my RB1 Guitar, there isn't much of a difference IMO. They are both wireless.
