How is Rocksmith?owners of the game list the pros & cons.

I personally love it:
+ Fun mini games to get you used to the different techniques.
+ Pretty good songs to play.
+ Good amount of DLC songs.
+ Good tool for inspiration (Now taking lessons cause it really got me into playing)
- Some songs are annoying or bad to play.
- You have to connect an A/V cable for sound and not use HDMI for sound, it will lag ever so slightly if you use HDMI.
- Sometimes you can cheat on some chords cause some sound so similar that it will say you did it right when you didn't, but only happens sometimes.

Is there a calibration feature like Rock Band and Guitar Hero? Had to do that to fix the little big of lag my TV.

@skate I think so, I never had to really mess with anything so I'm not positive, oh another kinda annoying thing is that the beginning of every song you have to use the tuner, it only takes like 5 seconds to register every string but just a little annoying nothing horrible.

I play with an HDMI cable, and haven't really experienced any issues. It really depends how you want to treat the game. If you see it as an upgrade to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, then you will care about the lag, because you'll be trying to get the high scores. But personally, I use the game to learn new songs, and to mess around with different effects, which doesn't require the sound to be perfectly in sync.

Lag doesn't work the same way in Rocksmith the way it does in RockBand. Rocksmith uses the sound of your real guitar, not pre-recorded sound, so any delay between your physical strumming and the audio of your guitar being heard cannot be corrected by lag settings. RockBand is playing pre-recorded guitar parts, so the system can adjust the timing of your button presses to synch with the pre-recorded notes. If you played drums in RockBand, when you do your free-for-all fills, you'll still hear lag between when you hit the notes and when you hear the notes, because again, those free fills are not pre-recorded, so they cannot be synched.

If you have heard of the game coming out later this year, Band Fuse, it is supposed to play like Rocksmith with real guitars, bass, and singing, but they say they somehow removed the lag. I am somewhat skeptical, but keeping my eyes open. With modern flat screen tvs and sound systems, signals get slowed, so I don't know how they can fix it (if you are hearing your instrument instead of pre-recorded music).
