Rocksmith signs Pixies, Radiohead, Lynyrd Skynyrd

does it support bass guitar?

song list right now is a little.... bland.

I may buy it just to use as a tuner and for its pedals to jam out on my own. I don't even need songs, I would rather them put in something more along the lines of Jamstudio.com so I could create my own backing tracks to solo too.

NIRVANA!!!! Where is Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam? I think this game will be awsome but if you don't have an electric guitar this this pleasure will cost you a lot of meney

@gamerboy100 I didn't say it came with a guitar. I said it came with a peripheral. It comes with a peripheral that allows you to connect a real guitar to an Xbox 360, PS3 or PC. "Rocksmith sets out to teach players how to play the guitar. A quarter-inch to USB cable peripheral included with the game allows you to plug your guitar into your PC, Xbox 360, or PS3. You can then play along with both old and new songs. Ubisoft plans to release Rocksmith in fall 2011. The game and peripheral together cost $79.99." http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Rocksmith-Track-List-Includes-Lynyrd-Skynyrd-Radiohead-32538.html

WHAT? A rhythm game with a decent sound track? It's been years since one of those was released. Still, I am going to have to say no. Spending more money on another incompatible music game medium just doesn't make sense. I wish Rock Band would get its act together and start releasing some good tracks.

The White Stripes YESSS!!

seems pretty awesome looking forward to more info on the game and how it works so i can have a use for my old guitar

This seems like interesting tech. I hope it does well...but at only 45 songs...yeah, there needs to be WAY more than just 45 songs.

@dean0null No, the article says that the $80 standard version does NOT include a guitar. It is stated in the second to last paragraph as saying "A standard version (without guitar) of Rocksmith is due out this fall for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC priced at $79.99."

Interpol, Silversun Pickups, cool..

It's $80 for the standard version because it comes with a peripheral and because the game actually teaches to how to play guitar. Whereas the closest thing to this is buying a Rock Band 3 guitar for $300 and the game for $60 without really learning how to play guitar, instead being able to play along with songs if you already know how.

The calibre of music and the associated tech make this a particularly intriguing proposition.

im glad im just not into rhythm/music games

80 bucks for the standard version? Why?

I am absolutely considering this. Goodbye nights and weekends...
