Yeah, I realize that when I'm playing guitar hero I am sitting in front of the TV with a plastic guitar and I'm not really playing the song just like when I'm playing Halo I'm not really shooting some other people in the head but it's a pretty big commitment to learn how to play an instrument. You have to buy the guitar, pay for lessons, go to the lessons, and then you probably wont' be any good at it for a few years (or good enough to play anything complicated anyway)


Really, you could say what you just said about any video game. Why would someone play Madden when they could go out and play real football? Why would someone play Counter-Strike when they could go out and buy a gun? etc
