This thread has been linked to the game 'Rock Band'.
pb: I can understand your wife's drum prohibition - they are loud as hell. The old lady that lives underneath us was not chuffed the night I got Rock Band... the bass pedal slams fairly hard against our carpetless flooring and the mad 'tapa tapa tapa' of the pads is extremely annoying, to say the least.
As far as I'm aware, the Activision / EA legal / driver shenaniganations have stopped the PS3 guitar working with Rock Band, which is utterly gash. Hopefully it'll be resolved by the time PS3 RB rolls around.
And cheers for the comment :)
Leutchyboy: It's pretty rubbish that the UK once again gets a shafting on the limited bundle front. Maybe time for an import?

I absolutely love MGS games, I'm a little disappointed however that UK won't be getting a special bundled edition of the console and game which looked extremely tempting to me, now it's just very tempting :(

Nice review, well deserved GAD.
Can't remember if the PS3 Guitar Hero Guitar is compatible with Rock Band, otherwise I might be tempted by the solus version. The wife doesn't want the drums in the house though, even if I could afford them.

See, this is where Rock Band is pretty cool, peripheral wise. Yes, there is the drum kit shenanigans, but to be honest you can still have a great time with a guitar and vocals - and indeed, only shell out for the solus game.

I already have the guitar from my Guitar Hero and to do the singing I use my 360 headset.
May buy yhe drum kit at a later date, but my mates already have one. We play online and all I paid was the £44.99 for the solus copy.
That may be the best option, providing you don't mind doing the singing (I couldn't sing before, but people tell me I've improved greatly)

Hmm these types of games don't really appeal to me. It's like you'll need four people each time if you really want to enjoy the game. Plus as stated the price is mental and for me it's worth bearing in mind that the price represents a huge chunk of a Playstation 3 with the eminent release of Metal Gear Solid.... Which I am hugley hugely tempted to buy...
Perhaps the most expensive single I've ever bought :D
At least we get Hysteria :)
