UK shafted on Rock Band Xbox 360 price

[Stewart]

'So, we're paying almost £100 more than gamers in North America.'

You'd have to be a fool to accept that. A ton more for the same gear?

Obviously EA are hoping to get a slice of the total mug market.

Hmm... I'm going to Florida in June, may buy the game over here, and the accessories over there. Wonder how big the box for it is?

The box is roughly 100x50x50cm.

If you travel lightly packed you should be able to get it in the cargo hold no probs.

NOTE: If you import a version now, you'll need an NTSC XBox 360 as it's region locked on that platform.

The PS3 version isn't region locked but as of right now none of the DLC is available on a European PSN account.

If you're lucky enough to have a US-address based credit card to load up a US PSN account then you can get the DLC, if not, you'll have to wait until the DLC is released over here.

The other option is to buy some PSN cards (like the Xbox LIVE cards) over in the US and load them onto your account back in the UK.

Nick,

We have had the PS3 version on the site for a few weeks, however we have literally just sold out.

We are expecting further stock in the next 7 days.

I might pop up to the office with mine sometime next week if you guys fancy being distracted from work for a thrash...

Thought I'd post here what I posted on a related thread just in case someone misses the actual price.

Those are recommended retail prices - the actual price is a fair bit lower that that (not that it justifies the inflated price they're charging).

Play lists the instrument pack at £99.99 and the game at £39.99 making a total of £139.98 - a fair bit less than the £179.98 RRP.
