  1. RD Lone from Vancouver, Canada writes: It is reasonably fun, but until they drop the price of downloaded content to be on par with the US I'm not onboard this train.

    A track is $2.99 in Canada and $1.99 in the US. Tell me, what is the difference considering the form of distribution and the work required to make it? Total joke.
  2. Stephen Dedalus from Canada writes: If your kid wants Guitar Hero for his birthday or Christmas, get him a real guitar--a nice expensive one like a Les Paul or a Strat, and watch him cry because he didn't get the electronic wand with the blinking coloured lights. It's the best practical joke ever--"What's this . . . a Fender Telecaster? I hate you!"
  3. H M from Canada writes: Dance Dance Revolution! Rock Band! Guitar Hero! All the addiction of regular video games, none of the mindless activity! Fun, involved, group activities! I am very excited for Wii fit....except the weighing part.
  4. Trevor Ouellette from Canada writes: Yeah, Canadian pricing on Xbox Live is a joke. Just another reason why Canada is a ripoff. Even when the dollar is parity, we still get ripped off.

    BTW, I've got Guitar Hero 1&2... and I'm waiting for RockBand to drop in price this summer.

    Now, Activision needs to come out with Rap Hero or DJ Hero or something like that... with a turn table, small keyboard, and drums or something. That would be a nice change from Rock music and guitars. Nice change of pace.
  5. Not right or left from Canada writes: I currently have 24 downloaded songs for Rock Band. Its more expensive here in Canada than the U.S. but I can afford it.
  6. Hello There from nevermind, Canada writes: How about renting some instruments....rent some time at a jam space with a bunch of buds...get a bunch of buds....tune up....and make some noise....fun fun and you will never forget it....even if you make it to the big time....try it...it is original....ta!
