yup im another person who has signed up to the site exclusively to voice my disgust at the price of rock band.

to expect us brits to pay over double the price of the US rock band is simply ridicoulous. i expected to pay maybe 130ish for this (round up the US's £75 to £100 for the conversion, and then 30 extra just for the hell of it) but there is no way in hell im going to pay 180 quid for it.

i remember harmonix originally stated that they wanted to make it affordable, yet still good quality, and if EA think that 180quid is 'affordable' then theyre living in a dreamworld. they can obviously afford to sell it for much less and still make a profit, so where the hell has this £100 price rise come from?!?

i was really looking forward to buying and playing this, but EA have lost 180quid from me, and surely hundreds of other people easily.

ill just buy it second hand at half the price at some point so then EA dont get any kind of royalties from the resale of one of their products just to make it hurt even more.
