I pre-ordered directly from Red Octane so I got my copy via UPS today. It is probably not worth it if you bought the PS2 version unless you are a HUGE GH2 fan and/or want all of the XBL features like the leaderboard and the ability to download future content. Slightly better graphics than the PS2 version (although I remember the guitars that we submitted looking MUCH better in the engine viewer than they do in game) and some additional songs.
The controller itself feels a bit more sturdy than the PS2 controllers although it also feels a bit more sensitive; I managed to set it off by accident most of the time when "Star Power" was enabled.
Not quite sure what I was expecting but I am a bit disappointed. I guess that I had hoped that they would include some of the songs from the original GH on the 360 version.

There you go! Not so hard, eh?
Pretty sweet game though, its guaranteed to played every lunchtime here in the office.

commercial with Gorillaz animation style.
i'm upset with the guitars not being wireless but i'm sure that was a marketing decision to sell more later on and i'm sure it will work. oh well i'll buy wireless ones when they come out.
Can't wait to have some spare cash and preferably school to be finished to pick this game up.
I faintly remember the Microsoft Rep at Toys R Us mentioning that Microsoft wasn't going to allow any 3rd party wireless accessories...
there's also apparently guitar Hero 80' coming on PS2, hope they will put some of the songs on xboxlive for x360 users to download (of course they will take this opportunity to steal a little bit more $$$
what would be nice is to see something similar to the shivering isles expansion (9200 points I think) and be able to get all the tracks from guitar hero 1. i'd be content paying upwards to $40 cdn for all the tracks from guitar hero 1. right now they estimate about $100 for all the guitar hero 1 tracks at the current cost.
the first week I was like #26 worldwide =D, haven't really played in a while and there's a lot more people with the game now, so I've dropped significantly.. I think I'm like 700 now (of 300k people)of all songs. It's crazy how much buying the DL songs will get you up on the overall rankings but they cost so much freaking money.
It's also annoying that the first like 30(or was it 90?) people have glitched scores 100x higher than you're supposed to be able to get.
oh well. I want some new songs. Dream Theater, opeth, or dredg. something
