I can't decide if I should spend a little extra money and get a cheap full MIDI keyboard or go for the keytar controller they're bundling it with. Definitely want to get a legit MIDI drum kit eventually, but I still have a ION kit that works well for now.
Not to mention the guitar situation. The cheaper one will be available at launch. It has ~100 buttons on the neck (6 buttons per fret for 17 frets) and six strings to strum. It can be used in traditional play or in "pro" mode. The high-end guitar coming from Fender themselves will be a fully-stringed real guitar, but won't be available at launch and will not be playable with non-pro charts.
I think I'll just get the cheaper guitar though. I already own a cheap real guitar and I can't handle the fingerings without producing dead strings. I expect the buttons on the frets rather than strings will be easier for me to avoid this.
