Yes, it's a bit of a gyp that RB costs a monkeyload more in the UK and Europe than it does stateside, but what else is new. The price change, I reckon, is the main reason we also had to wait so long to get it - the two are connected.

Anyway, the game is great. Dumps on GH3 from a great height, and I've had value for money from the game already.

However, the instruments - aside from the mic - are garbage. The strum action on the guitar no longer works downwards, it no longer recognises tilting unless you're forceful and the whole thing just feels cheap. It's a nice button action and feels as good as the GH3 wireless (360) one - which is also poorly designed.

What's so hard about using the same manufacturer as the original GH1 guitars I've got for my PS2? I bought 2 of them when the game first launched and they're still going strong.

I don't mind paying a premium, but I expect to get several hundred hours abuse from the kit before it stops working properly.
