Rock Band Pricing

[Bond]

This is from GameStop and is not confirmed:

- Rock Band Bundle (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) - $199.99 (The Rock Band Bundle for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 includes: Rock Band the game, wireless guitar, drums and microphone.)
- Rock Band Game (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) - $59.99
- Rock Band Drum Set (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) $79.99
- Rock Band Microphone (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) - $29.99
- Rock Band Wireless Fender Guitar Controller (PlayStation 3) - $59.99
- Rock Band Wireless Fender Guitar Controller (Xbox 360) $79.99

If true, I guess $200 is a decent price for the bundle, but $60 for the game itself and $80 for the drum set is a total rip off. And one could only assume the $20 price difference between the 360 and PS3 guitar is a typo.

I no longer want this game.

$30 for a mic? I'd rather play without it and hear the real artist sing! It should be packaged in for free to get people to actually try the singing. It was for every other game to ever use a mic... Karaoke Revolution, Seaman, Odama, Mario Party, etc.

$80 for the drums you can expect, since we all have guitars, they want to milk us for what we all want.

And did you see the guitar? They added frets on the inside of the neck, that you can use during solos and just hit the keys with no strumming. You know they're designing the game to make that a requirement on expert levels, forcing Guitar Hero players to buy the new guitar.

I hate MTV. Long live Activision, Neversoft, and the Red Octane crew. Guitar Hero 3 FTW!

This is what I said all along. This game will be the Steel Battalion of this generation.

I saw heavy tones of "Pac-man VS." while watching the Microsoft conference when they were playing this. Except this game is $200 more and will probably be harder to find.
