Now theres an unexpected port.

[ren]

If the controllers aren't too expensive I may get this instead of the ps2 version. but I already have 2 controllers for ps2 so probably not. Downloadable song packs and all that you can get on the 360 version is tempting though.

All I can say is two words: About time!!!

I bet the Multi-Player Portion will be sweet on the PC, BTW.

The question is, will you play it or just install it?

That is pretty cool though for the people who don't own a console, everyone should give these games a try.  I'll be picking up the PS2 version myself.

......come on now, this is a console port we're talking about.  It'll probably only have a LAN option.
