Another limitation this could run into is tunings. A lot of rock and metal uses alternate tunings such as drop C or D, D sharp, D and C standard (almost all Van Halen)etc. I suppose they could just get you to retune but I'm damned if I'm trying to set up a Floyd Rose for alternate tunings just to play one song!

Not going to stop me buying it, though  : )

Not with a floating trem it doesn't! It takes about an hour! Might have to block the trem with a pack of cards!

Been watching the videos as well and it seems that the guitar fretboard at the bottom of the screen is actually opposite to normal tab? The bottom string is the high E? That's going to confuse my brain!

You jumping on this piece of software, you?

Great idea but the track list is gash. I don't actually want to play any song they list.

Aye, I was so geared up for Rock Band 3 until it had nothing for me. I wanted to get their keyboard for a bit of '80s synth goodness...

I would play Same Skies now and again because it's Marr, but that's all from that lot. I've said before that I won't be happy until these things are linked to a proper online store. I used to visit one of the Russian ones for tracks at 11 or 12p each. It wasn't the price, though, but the range. No iTunes-alike has ever matched it for range.

Even if they only had a performer's best-known album, it was rare to draw a complete blank.

Well, bought it and , so far, impressed! it's ability to track notes is surprisingly good, with one proviso...too much latency. There's a good 150-200mS of latency in there. It seems to be trying a bit too hard with the amp and effects simulations as well as note tracking and the result is that slight but annoying delay. Haven't found anywhere in the options to flip the note table or have it written as tab which is disappointing but not a deal breaker. Menus are a bit perfunctory and the learning options could be a bit friendlier as well. Haven't found anywhere to just scroll slowly through a song without having to play it. I'm also not convinced this is complete beginner friendly. It uses a lot of terms that most non players would be left in the dark about. However, all that said and done, I still really like it. Just wish the DLC was actually on the store. Only a fraction of it is listed so far, and most of it is Blink bloody 182. Hurry up Ubisoft, I want to play the Final Countdown!

I have this on PS3 and don't have anywhere near 200ms latency. Are you using HDMI for audio?

Flipping the notes is the main menu options.

Did adjusting the display latency help?

I know this was an issue with Dj Hero but it depended massively on the user and most fixed it by changing settings.

That's a pain in the bum. This is why consoles should still have audio outs instead of integrating everything into one AV slot.

It's great fun. One complaint I had, the track listing, is actually a moot point now. It's good fun having different songs to play that you wouldn't even consider normally! Just need some more DLC options now.

How much are games normally in €

Yeah was gonna say it prob has the cable. It can be found here, online for about £50-£55. So yeah I guess €90 is steep thinking about it.

Any way you can buy from UK based websites?

The cable is included in the package. It doesn't work without it. In all honesty, £15 for a DA convertor is cheap! Just a bit annoying you can't use your own as I have a Line 6 Toneport gathering dust. As for it being a game, I wouldn't class it as such. It's a bloody good teaching application, as long as we get a Rockband flow of DLC.

Hasn't it been out for ages in America already? What's the DLC flow been like since then?
