      I love me some Rock Band, but the price point is going to determine if this is a purchase for me or not.

      I have never played Rock Band but I assume this version will be somewhat similar to the Tap Tap games that are available. Also pretty sure they will try to nickel and dime us with exclusive downloadable content.
