Rocksmith - Anyone see this?

Developed by Ubisoft. It's Guitar Hero on steroids.

Seems pretty cool.

Would anyone consider getting it or are there any members currently using it?

If you're thinking about it because it's up on the Steam sale, keep in mind that there's an accompanying cable -> USB device that you HAVE to have in order to play the game (and you would need to buy separately).

I nearly pulled the trigger on this, but I read up about it quite a bit, watched some videos, and quite honestly the constant automatically shifting "difficulty" will just be frustrating for someone trying to learn to play a song properly. Looks like it might be fun, but not great as a learning aid.

Is there any "LAG/DELAY" on this system ?

IE: when you play a chord/note , theres a delay between the guitar and the game ?

Yeah the cable is about R325 from TakeAlot. Saw the 50% off if bought through steam.

There's an option to stop the difficulty from shifting.

One reviewer experienced some delay while using it on his XBox but I think that he was connecting to his TV via HDMI and that's what was causing most of his issues.
