Then my nephew ended up giving me a copy of Rock Band 1 that he didn't need, and I was set. If it comes with an instrument, buying an older music game for cheap is a good idea. I wouldn't buy it if I already had Rock Band/World Tour though. I picked up GH3 with a guitar for about 40 bucks around Christmas.

Jeez. It took MGS2 at least three or four years to hit that price point. I feel like that speaks volumes about the quality of the games. Similar to sports games, when they release em annually, except somewhat worse. I mean, they don't even have the newest game on the shelf for a month before announcing the next game in the series. To me, that just shows that all they're doing is putting different songs in, and not doing anything new with the gameplay. Just a 60 dollar rehash, which would probably be better suited as a DLC pack. In a nutshell, when a franchise has 16 games, (and that's without counting each release for each platform separately) in the span of less than five years, there's definitely a quality problem, in my eyes, and it serves no purpose but to oversaturate the market and make a quick buck. 10 bucks already?
