I was pretty surprised how much smaller the box seemed when I saw it at Best Buy yesterday...

I just picked up the game only version, I figured I'll wait until all the various music games for the year are out and wait for deals on whatever set is considered "The best".. like the Guitar Center deals we saw a couple months ago... I figure my RB1 set will hopefully last me.

But playing RB2 I am having a LOT of trouble on guitar-- my guitar seemed fine the last time I played RB1 a week or so ago, but I'm missing a lot of notes, etc. I changed the batteries which seemed to maybe help a little but it still seems much harder to get the timing down than RB1 was.... I'm not sure if I was just too tired to play last night, or if my launch-RB1 guitar is finally biting the dust, or they maybe REALLY tightened the timing? Has anyone else noticed it's a lot harder to hit the notes?
