Best console for rock band/guitar hero?

I'm wanting to get a guitar hero/rock band setup for get togethers and wanted to know which platform would have the most people playing online? I know PS3 used to not have many at all playing, but now with the consoles being the same price and a lot of PS3 exclusives this year, which console has a better online gaming experience?

 

I have both consoles, so it's a hard choice of which to get the setup for.

 

Anyone ? Anyone ?

I have recently looked into this a bit. In my opinion, forget rock band. The song selection just is weak. I play GH often at a friends house and it awesome when we get people together. 360 is where it's at. I just can't see entertaining other systems given the current awesomeness and the new technology coming for update in 2010.

I've been rocking parties with Rock Band 2 on my PS3 for over a year now. In all honesty, the online play doesn't matter if you have a full band at a party. All you end up doing is picking songs off your current list. That being said, download a good variety of additional songs to make everyone happy. I feel like Guitar Hero is too limiting when it comes to that variety. I have everything from country (Toby Keith) to Emo/Alternative (All American Rejects) along with all your classic rock and hair bands.

Yeah, I have guitar hero 5 for 360 . . and never can seem to find a full band online. I've been leaning towards getting Rock Band 2. The thing is, even when I have friends over, not everyone wants to play but a lot of people like to watch. So if a friend and I is playing drums and guitar. . we like to jump online and find a full band to play with.

Probably referring to project Natal. Google it.

 

Correct.

 

And by song selection being weak; I looked through the download list and couldn't find anything I liked. I looked on the dick and was disappointed. Where as with GH, I have found several that I liked. It's preference.

No argument needed. It's preference of music that people like to play.

Ended up getting Rock Band 2 for the 360. The price of the game went down today to 19.99 and I couldn't pass that up. Plus I already had a guitar and drum set for it from buying the original rock band when it released.

 

Good times! Love the song selection, and there's no trouble finding a full band online.
