Rock Band Questions for those in the know

[VexNet]

if you want to purchase really cheap versions of these games, I would advise your best bet is (if you're going for the cheapest option) try searching around on ebay, but keep an eye out on instead of paying postage, instead you go to collect the item. I've found a many brilliant sales by using that option, and majority of it is all in pristene condition already.

for example; GH2, RB2, Guitar and Drums for about $40 all in perfect condition.

I would love to see Yearg singing "Sgt. Pepper."

PS3, mos def.

Alright, so I have some follow-up questions. Many people mentioned the Xbox 360 version which wasn't really an option for me before, but has become so. I'm also just double checking this Rock Band 2 peripherals thing. It seems that Rock Band 2: Special Edition comes with the improved wireless peripherals. I was a little hesitant at first though since the Beatles Rock Band Special Value edition is the one with the ghetto controls. However, it seems that there is no other edition than the Special Edition of RB2 (SE just being the one with the peripherals).

1. Is there a reason to prefer the 360 version over the PS3 version at all... or is it just personal preference?

2. Are the following the versions of RB with the improved peripherals? Is this the thing to buy?

I heard there's a way to get all the old songs, probably from installing the old games to the hard drive. So you could buy, say, Rock Band 2, and rent Beatles and RB1 and install them and have the songs available in your list on RB2. I left the RB craze, so I'm not really in the know anymore. But I heard something along those lines. For 360 anyway. But I would imagine it'd be the same for PS3. And I dunno what is cut from the Wii, but things usually are. And with PS3 you don't have to pay extra for wireless like you do 360. So I suppose PS3 is the obvious choice. And if its possible to do like I said, you can have the best of all worlds and just have to worry about getting the peripherals you want on the cheap
