Ubi's uPlay had this game for $10 yesterday, whereas the price was 
$39.99 everywhere else (without the cable). Decided to wait until I got 
home to buy it and today the price has jumped back up to $39.99 for some 
reason :(

It's all good since I didn't really like what I saw from a few let's 
plays on YT. That colorful highway like interface with the notes coming 
at you is not exactly what I thought this program would be like. It 
looked very game-y, and for some reason I was expecting something more 
along the lines of Band in a Box (ever tried that one? I don't even know 
if it's still around but I used to love it).

If the cable wasn't so expensive I'd probably still get it on sale and 
mess around with it for an hour or two but that would be about it.

Thanks much for the info though, I appreciate it.
