Copy Clerk  Posts: 90 Joined: 1 May 2008   | Yeah EB Games website has Rock Band at $289 for the bundle. Gonna have to work a fair few extra shifts to get that... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 6983 Joined: 28 Nov 2007     | $289?! Is that in American dollars? |

Nope, it's Australian dollars. These days our dollar is pretty similar but apparently that doesn't matter to games stores. Rock Band was only $170 or something in America. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1169 Joined: 21 May 2008     | Yeah well here (in England) it's £180 which is about (US)$320 and (AU)$385 |

Thats only the disc. I think that GH4 will cost $320 AUS. Well thats what Australian Gamer said anyway. |

It's funny how those things will soon become legal currency. Anyway, I doubt they'll make the price soft. $340 at least, basing on the fact that games in Australia cost about double the US price. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 530 Joined: 2 Aug 2008  | How much do you think the full Rock Band, or GH4 set will cost in Europe? |
Beat Writer  Posts: 211 Joined: 18 Aug 2008   | The price for Rock Band 1 in the UK was outrageous. Like, insulting. More than twice the price. If EA try and pull that shit again, then they can forget it. |

Yeah I've pointed that out, hate to quote myself but...
How's that for a rip off? |

Never trust EB. JB Hi-Fi is the way to go in Oz. Anyway, Rock Band is going to cost a bomb over here. I just don't know what to say in these situations. Is it the Americans that are ripping us off or our stores? |

Seeing as we still haven't seen much of Rock Band on the horizon down here, I'd been wondering. Some stores are saying that they might skip RB one altogether and go straight to number two. And that we might see at least one of the Rock Band titles or GH4 at least before Christmas this year.
That got me thinking... How much will this full package of plastic fun cost? GH3 came at a nice retail price of $160 or so, but now we have drums and a microphone. Whew boy. I'm hoping it wont be over $250 - I mean, we're bulk buying here, come on!
What do you predict?
