UK Rock Band pricing confirmed.
It's not cheap, I never thought it was going to be cheap, but £180 for the lot seems excessive to me. There's no full bundle like you can get in the US. The instrument pack is going to be £130 and the game has an RRP of £50. No doubt retailers will be doing their own packages and we maybe be able to shave a few quid off that £180 figure.
The DLC songs will also be double the price of the US ones starting at 160 MS points a pop  I know everything over here costs more, I was expecting something around the £120 mark. I was fully intent on getting RB when it was released over here. I think I'm gonna see if you price drop after it's been out for a while now. This was a comment on gaming site I originally read the news on.

Re: UK Rock Band pricing confirmed.
Wow those prices are pretty ridiculous imo. Never thought I'd see the day when a single game cost more than the console it's played on.

Re: UK Rock Band pricing confirmed.
a complete joke nobodys gonna buy these its a stupid idea and Harmonix supposedly hit out at EA for the pricing as they have basically killed the game over here for both consoles best thing to do if your lucky enough to own a ps3 aswell as a 360 is import the american version of rockband as its only £80 with all the instruments but packagings gonna hurt your wallet but we talking about £130 for the lot saving you £50.
