I agree. The format is awful too. I hate that I unlock shit when I play be myself. Now my wife wants to sing, so I have to sit there and unlock everything again? Totally weak. It's the little things that frustrate the hell out of me with the GH:WT. I do like the guitar charts, though some pussies claim that it's too hard.
I do want the new guitar, though, so I'm going to order the bundle from YF360G.com in January. That is, unless a bigger Hard drive comes up on the site first.
