the keyboard bundle

All I can say is that I'm getting the game day one. I've been thinking about getting the keyboard but that's still to be decided.  
 
I'm pumped for the game though, I just passed 200 dlc songs ( oh god ).

Like all rhythm games so far in this fad, I plan on not consuming it at all.

Late at night with two cans of Coke and two bottles of hard liquor.
 
Oh, I mean I'll just be a lazy butt and wait for a reasonably priced pro guitar + keyboard bundle. Still have work to do in RB2 anyway.

Gonna wait on it I think - I haven't been mashing my PBG all that much lately, and lots of RB2 is incomplete - also nothing on the RB3 set list screams "DAY ONE PURCHASE' for me. 
I was really disappointed that there's no Pro-Guitar/Game Bundle, that's probably what I will end up waiting on, whether it comes from Harmmonix or just a store with a sale.

" ...I just passed 200 dlc songs ( oh god ). "

I'm gonna be rocking the Pro Guitar fo' sho'

I will consume it all and spend ungodly amounts of money on songs just as I did the previous iterations....Still just need one more blue cymbal and I will be good to go.
 
My pile of plastic instruments could always be bigger.

Gonna go for the keyboard/game bundle, I think. I have the RB 2 drumset with three cymbals, at least two fully functioning guitars, and three microphones, so no need for anything else. 
 
I do admit, missing out on the Pro Guitar mode will be disappointing, but there's no way I'm going to pay some few hundred more dollars for it.

The usual way: Dangerously large amounts in small concentrated doses.
 
ATM, I'm looking at the Keyboard bundle and maybe some cymbals. Will be (frantically) waiting for the Squier Strat (FYI, pretty certain it's a MIDI guitar that is specially modified to work in RB3, so that would mean no standard MIDI support. I remember that point being stressed by Drake and co. I would like to be wrong, tho).

I've always played these games on wii because my roommate has the hardware.  I think this one will finally make me cave in and get it for PS3. EFF YEAH KEYTAR!

PS3 Keyboard Bundle and Mustang Pro guitar.

I'm probably just gonna get RB3 and the MIDI adapter.

Probably going for the keyboard bundle

well, I guess it all depends on when they release the midi box... if it's out day one, I'm getting the game and a midi box to use with my midi keyboard, if it's not, then I'm getting the keyboard + game bundle, and getting the midi box later. 
 
I already have a triple cymbal kit, so I'm all good on that front.
 
Then I'm waiting it till 2011 and getting the Squire guitar, whenever they release that, provided it's not over $400... if it IS more than $400, then I'm going with the mustang.

1) As far as I know, they aren't releasing any kind of standard full band bundle, at least not initially  

 2) I'm just going to assume that the guitar isn't going to be more than $300. In that case, I will probably be finding a way to buy myself that sweet Squire. I've needed a new guitar for a very long time, and Pro Guitar looks very appealing to me.  

 3) I already have an ION drum kit with 3 cymbals, so I'm all set for Pro Drums there. I own one microphone, which will be enough. I rarely get together to play with more than one singer.

1. They're not releasing a bundle, and there's so much hardware already available that it doesn't seem necessary.  Drake said in an interview that retailers hate the bundles, so I take that as a pretty firm assertion that we won't ever see one.  I'll get the keyboard/game bundle.
2. I think you're right on the price for the Squier, and I'm getting it eventually.  I'll probably just sell my existing cheapio guitar, provided the RB-compatible Strat doesn't sound like garbage when plugged into an amp.  I'm not happy that the Squier won't work with standard guitar tracks, so if someone picks a song without pro-mode you'll have to switch instruments.  That would be a good case for the Mustang, but I figure if you're going to go pro, you might as well go all the way.
3. I'll get the new cymbal pack when it comes out.  I don't really like the RB2 versions of them, and one of mine broke anyway.  If you can find a Lips bundle, the wireless mic is definitely worth it.  Target had it for $15.

Keyboard bundle for sure. Since I'm switching to the PS3 version (all my rhythm games have been on 360 so far but that RROD'd and I'm not gonna blow money on a new one) I'll have to pick up a guitar eventually too. Does anyone know if the USB mics are cross-platform?

I know how you feel. I have well over 300 DLC songs. I think I have a sickness.  :P "  

There is that sick specialized bass guitar with the split strum bar as well,  

Keyboard + software. 
 
Somewhere down the line, I might, might pick up the Squire guitar.

Defiantly getting the keyboard and software day one. 
I already have multiple guitars and mics but will get the Squire if the price is reasonable. If a new cymbal kit comes out I may upgrade my cymbals, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of my cymbals finally breaks by then.

" the keyboard bundle "

The disc. In a rental envelope.
 
 I'll probably pick it up later if It's any good. Don't have any real interest in keys though, so no bundle for me.

I think it will be a day one buy for me, not sure about the keyboard though - as much as I would like to play it, not sure I can justify buying it because it looks much harder than using the guitar.

If I'm not mistaken, Pro Mode Keys is the only time you'll see it charted with the black and white keys. Regular mode is with just five lanes identical to guitar. In fact, I'm pretty sure you can play guitar parts with the keyboard. Or maybe it's that you can play keyboard parts with the guitar. Maybe both? I easily forget things.  (Point is, it's not hard if you don't want it to be) "

Ah that sounds a bit better, so in essence, you won't use all the keys unless you're playing expert? "

Right. I'm not fully sure how it will all work but looking at this picture

You can see that there are groups of keys for each color. I'd bet that in normal mode with only 5 lanes and 5 colors, you just have to press any key within the color range to hit the note. So you'd have a choice as to exactly which keys you are playing, except for the orange section which appears to only be the one end key. I dunno, looks interesting. I look forward to playing it. "

Hopefully at all, considering Harmonix's track record with Rock Band in Aus (RB2 was and apparently never will be released here). 
 
Apart from that, Game + Drum MIDI adaptor, then pro guitar later.

Game with the keyboard, I'd like a full set but lack the space for it.

" @JJWeatherman: Yamaha DTXplorer. "

I was considering the keyboard bundle but as a result of missing three fingers on my right hand from a lawnmower accident so ill prob not get it, but that kinda just gives me an reason  to buy just the game and maybe pick up a copy of Dead Rising 2

I plan on getting the old Rock Band instruments cheap, buy them midi adapter for the keyboard I have at home, and then buy the game standalone.

I'll be getting a keyboard bundle.  Already have the Ions, and upgraded cymbals/kick pedal, so I'm good there.  Might get the pro guitar controller at some point, but I won't do that for a little while yet.

I'm going for the keyboard bundle and the new cymbal kit for the RB2 drums. I'll probably get the Mustang soon after and if I really get into it I may consider the Squier. 
 
I would hope that the Squier comes with the MIDI box since Drake confirmed that it's basically just a MIDI guitar.
