When I clicked on the link, it says that I've qualified for a free trial of Prime! Yay!

Finally! I was hoping it would come out for the Wii. :)

I wish it gave a few more details. I know that my kids will really want this one because they love Guitar Hero. Thanks for the link, OP.

:) Most welcome! My son has been waiting & waiting for them to release it for the Wii too. I saw this today and went ahead and pre-ordered it but don't like the lack of details. I can always cancel it before the release date if it turns out to be a bad deal...I'm NOT going to spend $170 for it then have to pay EXTRA for the guitar, drums, etc. I'm hoping this is a complete or near complete bundle.

 

Update: I've emailed Amazon to get the full product description (assuming they have it at all). I'll let you know the response if I get one.

Thanks for the updates Crue and Panic. Crue, it's great that amazon got back with you so quickly with all of the info. This looks like it will be a lot of fun. :)

possible downside, depending on your wants / needs

 

"Disappointingly, Rock Band for Wii will support neither online play nor downloadable content -- huge, glaring omissions. One of the game's biggest draws on other consoles is the steady stream of downloadable songs, which can be purchased and then utilized in-game very easily"
