Here are 5 reasons why you shouldn't buy GH:WT
No Instrument Compatabilty
Microsoft's strict controller standards forced Activision to allow Rock Band controllers to work in the 360 version of the game. But, there is no confirmation on compatibilty on the Wii and PS3.
High DLC Prices
Activision's overpriced DLC and forced pack bundles are absolutely rediculous and there are no plans to change it at this time.
Horrible Art Direction
The game is very unappealing to the eyes. The design of the game is very unpolished and unclean.
Overcrowded Hud
After watching a video of the game, I still was not able to tell what was going on.
Questionable Charting
While Activision did improve their Guitar charts from GH:3 to GH:A, the question remains. Can they chart good Drum and Vocal charts?
Also, Paramore is in Rock Band 2 and Rock Band DLC.
Also, also, HMX is planning to make a music creator with vocals in the future.
I, also, prefer the Rock Band guitar controler for alt-strumming songs.
I have a good idea what the setlist is like with a really good rumored setlist which looks pretty accurate and I may still just rent it. I can't judge the game properly until I played it but Neversoft has to answer a lot of questions before I consider this a purchase.

that picture of Hayley Williams is pretty good. Stocking always make girls hotter.

By the way, I'm in love with Hayley Williams.
Unrelated note: I liked the GH1/2 guitars, but I liked the Rock Band guitar better than the GH3 guitar. I use the solo buttons for everything. They're just convenient.
3) Multiformat
Wait, what? You know that both Rock Band & GH are multiplatform? Or what are you getting at here? What the hell does this part even mean?
4) Europe
They haven't said anything about Europe. In terms of GH:WT, you're probably fucked as well. This isn't really a reason for the five reasons, since its more or less just "THEY BETTER DO THIS" instead of "Its a good thing they are." Otherwise, I'd agree with you that Europe is getting unfairly fucked, though I'm in the US.
5) Hayley Williams
God, I fucking love her. And she's in Rock Band as well, so this point is moot.

Pity the poor bastard who plays that intro on the drums.

And that Hayley Williams girl looks like a kid. Makes it pretty funny though that the guys surrounding her in that picture are all looking at her. :p

Guitar Hero is huge in Europe, to the point where people beyond the gaming press will be watching upon release. Plus GH has a history of at least short delays, nothing like the 4-5 months I'm expecting for RB2.

Also, buying Guitar Hero at all will depend on the setlist and their commitment to DLC, as well as the degree to which they support other instruments. On a tighter budget, I'd be more inclined to check it out if I could stick with my current controllers, even though I'd want to try out their drums.
