Rock Band UK Bundles/Pricing Discussion - Page 19

It would be pretty stupid if they didn't do a lower price and so i think we can pretty much say for certain it will be at least 20 quid cheaper. Any the activison PR is a hell of a lot friendlier then EA, They sent me a free GH3 guitar and copy of the game when my guitar went a bit dodgy so i certainly respect them alot more than EA.
OXM also did a preview on GH4 in this months issue and it does look pretty amazing.

There's a good reason for that. It's not out yet.

Yes we've already established that

I am quoting a Paul Fletcher

'I have just read on Kotaku the pricing/bundle structure for Rock Band in the UK and Europe.'

"The game won't come in a single bundle. Instead, there's two products available at lauch. One is called the "Instrument Edition", which costs £130/€170. It comes with a guitar, drums, and mic. That's it. No game. No, if you want the game as well, it'll cost you another £50/€70. That brings the cost of the game and three instruments to £180"

First of all I would like to say that you are absolutely right about EA. I was looking to get the Rock Band Set today and I for the instument edition and, as you say, it was around £100. That wasn't good but I was prepared to stretch as I had heard how good the game play was, but then I spotted that it did not include the game and they would charge me another £50 for that. How can be so when across the Atlantic in America It's £80 for everything? I only hope EA can shed some light on this and tell us why they are being so obviously greedy!

EA has really over done it this time, I mean I'm used to putting up with the premium price I have to pay for games because in live in the bloody UK but now with Rock Band it would actually be cheaper to have it imported from the U.S! And I want to let EA know I will be buying no EA games of any sort if they continue to take the **** out of us and charge us ridiculous prices just because we're British!!!
