    I know this is not necessarily related to notebooks but I'm going to buy my first Rock Band/Guitar Hero type of game. When I heard Green Day Rock Band was coming out I knew I would jump on that right away. So I know which game I will get and it will be for the PS3 since my Xbox died but which guitar should I get? I know I will need a guitar and microphone but there are all different kinds out there and I don't know which to get....any help?

    You want the Rock Band 2 instruments. They are much better than the RB1 gear. You can probably get the bundle for ~$100 (give or take). And good choice on which franchise to support. RB has an amazing catalogue. You won't be disappointed.

    You might want to consider the "special" edition Green Day RB also. You can then import all your GD songs into your RB2 (if you buy RB2 bundle) and won't need to change discs. Plus you get some extra songs I think.

    Thanks for the info. The RB2 set looks like it costs $80 at my local Walmart. I'll go get it, thanks again!
