Old news I'm still excited about

So Rock Band 2 is here and people are talking. Most of the conversation seems to be about the set list and which songs end up on Guitar Hero III or Rock Band 2. Metallica's downloadable content that coincided with the release of Death Magnetic was pretty cool, especially for the one band who fought digital downloading for so long. But the thing that has me excited is the drums. These look like real electronic drums because they are developed "by the engineers at Alesis, one of the largest manufacturers of professional electronic drums in the world." That reminds me, I was once described as the second worst drummer in the world. Maybe I shouldn't spend the $300 for the new set. sigh...
