    I was about to pick up guitar hero 3 when I started looking into Rock Band.
    I don't see anything about it coming out on the PC Platform.

    I somehow doubt it, harmonix never converted guitar hero to the PC so I dont think they will with Rock Band either.

    Well it's all USB so you'd have no problem with the drumset. But imagine you and you're buddies huddled around a monitor trying to play it. You need a large space, and a decent sized TV for everyone to be comfortable. GH3 however, is only 2 players so it wouldn't be nearly as crowded.

    I just won Guitar Hero 3 for the WII actually, saved up Dave & Buster tickets, and cashed in.... pretty impressed, worth picking up... I've enjoyed it.... wouldn't mind more songs though.

    On the topic of guitar hero 3 I think the track list was probably the worst so far.

    With Activision Blizzard technically being able to access all of UMG's artists I think that will be the best ever.
    also they need Zeppelin...that band alone could have a GH game dedicated to them.
