^^ That's the all mighty question isn't it. From the various internetz threads I've seen, the opinion is split pretty much in half. I haven't tried Rock Band yet, but have found GH REALLY enjoyable. The guitars are as fun as ever to play, and the new design/model is much nicer with the extra bit of size and weight. Drums are heaps of fun too, even though I'm shit at them.
But, the main reason I bought GH:WT is because I prefer the design of the drumkit, with the raised cymbals. I'm going to buy RB 1 & 2 as well, but just the games. Hardware-wise, GH takes the take (as long as you don't get a dodgy one).

Yup, the instruments are completely cross-compatible. I've read that some people think it feels a bit odd playing RB on the GH drumkit, maybe the note charts are ordered differently or something, I don't know, but I'm sure it'll just be something that requires getting used too.

I don't get guitar hero. I played it for an hour or so at a friends house. And damn that is the hardest thing I've ever played. I don't get it, real guitar is so much easier so why don't kids these days play that instead??

On the easiest setting it is definitely much easier. It's pretty simple fun, but I find it repetitive. I get a bee in my bonnet over 100% songs (on easy, sometimes on medium, so no big deal) which once done, takes some of the fun out of the songs. No One Knows from the first game is my favourite to play. GH3 is a better game in a few ways but the songs don't really grab me much yet.
Can you play GHWT with the GH3 guitars? Or do you really need those extra buttons?

My mate brought GHWT over on the weekend, along with his PS3. Four of us played it at once, and damn it was fun. I played drums for most of the night, then sang badly. Me wants. I was thinking of getting Rock Band 2 actually, but when will the kit be available here?!
Come to think of it, I need another console first. Mrs Winmar wants a Wii.
One of the guitars used was a GH3 one, Stonewall, and it seemed to go ok.

if you want both RB2 and GHWT, then get RB2 on the PS3 and GHWT on the Wii simply because the Wii version of GHWT is strangely superior to the other versions, especially when compared with the RB series.
but don't expect RB2 to be hitting our shores any time soon.
it took a fucking year to get the first one out here.

My PS3 only has two USB ports, so I guess that means I can only use two controllers at a time - no full band. 
Then again, I haven't actually looked into it at all so maybe there's a very simple solution to it.

only need the USB for the mic.
everything else is wireless, so can easily do the full band of guitar, bass, drums and vocals.

the Wii rocks!
even though it does lack a lot of the core games that the other systems have.
it all depends what you want out of a console really.
for GH:WT, the Wii is the best because it has the best data management, loading times and interface and the Wii is just better if you are not seriously into games and want to be able to just pick up and play.
there some great core titles such as Okami (a port of the PS2 game with improved loads, interface and slightly better graphics), Resident Evil 4, Zelda, Mario and others.
but if you are seriously into your games and want all the bells and whistles, go for the 360 and wait until next year for the PS3.

But you have to plug the wireless thing into the USB ports. One for drums, one for guitar, right?
Do USB hubs work on PS3s?
Hmmm I'd probably rather a 360 or PS3, but the missus isn't much of a gamer at all, so like most chicks she wants a Wii. I'm not a serious gamer really - I'd just like GHWT/RB, a soccer game and some sort of adventure game I could really get my teeth into, then the odd other game here and there.
