Re: Has the cost of Rock Band put you off?

If it came with an aditional £43 jam tax, some of you would still buy it, no doubt.

And its not as if its the greatest game ev0r, I mean, it only got an 8.0 on IGN. Lower than Ninja Gaiden II, Grid, Uefa 2008. Plenty of better, cheaper games out recently...
Not really a fair comparison, is it? I'd rather play something very different and original like Rock Band than yet another racing/football game.

It's still too costly for me though. I just about allowed myself to get GH3 with the guitar for £70, I don't think I could ever stretch to £100+ though. Would be great for people who live with friends and can split the cost with no argument.

Maybe when the karaoke/plastic pad bashing/toy guitar twanging genre has fleshed out a little, more of the instruments will be compatible and of a higher quality. I'll have a look then.
