KiT, you're forever going on about Rock Band :P
My bro just got Rock Band 1 for PS2, which I now wish was for my Xbox 360. The drums annoy the shit out of me, I find the Guitar Hero drums alot better. Rock Band guitar kicks ass though. Ugh, I find it pointless to get Rockband for my Xbox now, due to the fact my bro has it, but I like the sounds of the heap of tracks that can be downloaded. I have myself a dilemma :/
Smokem: Yeah, I have Xbox Live also. I should probably get a new one, now that I think about it. I haven't played the first, so it should be alright for a beginner.
