Mmkay? I know a lot of you guys play Rock Band, but how many of you still play it's older, but slightly less group-friendly brother Guitar Hero? Granted, it's still guitars-only, but there are some new special features, like the ability to play almost all of your Guitar Hero World Tour tunes in GH5, or copy them from the Guitar Hero: Smash Hits discs for a nominal fee.
