ReZourceman Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Why? If someone was specifically waiting for the EU version, to avoid the cufuffle of importing, then finding out that A) Super uber delay and B) Super uber pricing....so thats why.
Gizmo Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Why? PS3 is region free, so i'm gonna import from Video Games Plus and get it for about £110. Have fun sending your broken instruments back to America to be repaired...
ReZourceman Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Er, soz moody. Sorry if it came off as moody, I was just giving a reason.
darksnowman Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Well rock fans, finally a date has emerged... August 29th. Kotaku
Jamba Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I wish that the gaming community and the games sellers would boycot this game. This price inflation is fucking rediculous.
ReZourceman Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I was actually thinking about Guitar Hero 3 today. PS3/360/Wii version, generally £60-£70 PS2 version £30. So how is the game itself worth £30-£40 for some slightly better graphics?
MadDog Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I havnt played the PS2 version, so i suppose the only extra things you will get is Online play and slightly better grapics i suppose
Dyson Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I was actually thinking about Guitar Hero 3 today. PS3/360/Wii version, generally £60-£70 PS2 version £30. So how is the game itself worth £30-£40 for some slightly better graphics? Not entirely sure where you're getting the prices from, but it's as if you've taken the 360/PS3/Wii bundle price of roughly £65 and the standalone price of the PS2 version and compared them. Also, PS2 = No online etc.

Also, PS2 = No online etc. Nah, the PS2 bundle was £30 in HMV yesterday...I assumed that was the standard price. No online is good point. Its still blatent rip offage though.
Dyson Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Interesting. I wonder how much the PS2 Rock Ba-- Oh wait, no online, DLC, character creation.. Yeah, I'll pay for next gen versions tbh :P But I know what you're saying about GH3. That said, when the games were exclusive to the PS2 they were the same price. I put the PS2 bundle price down to stock clearance
Charlie Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Play.com are selling the 360 Instrument Pack for £100 and the game itself for £40 so £140 in total. Still bloody expensive though.
dazzybee Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 http://gonintendo.com/?p=42054#more-42054 Is this pretty much the DLC from the 360 version on a disc for the Wii!
Gizmo Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Kinda sucks that you basically get given a list and can't pick and choose like with DLC but it's better than nothing I guess. Also you wouldn't be able to use the expansion songs on the same set list as the normal songs since you'd have them on different discs. I'm still going for the 360 version, but good news for Wii only people.
Retro_Link Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 http://gonintendo.com/?p=42054#more-42054 Is this pretty much the DLC from the 360 version on a disc for the Wii! It also works out cheaper: http://www.cubed3.com/news/9962 Some digging into Harmonix's pricing for the Wii/Playstation 2 additional songs disc have made it slightly cheaper than downloading. Despite not being able to download additional material after purchasing Rock Band, Wii owners will have access to songs via an expansion disc. According to MTV Multiplayer, Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 hits retail retail on July 15 at an MSRP of $29.99. Those who intend on purchasing the current extra songs library may just see better value on the Wii, with all 20 tracks being considerably cheaper to buy as a CD, as opposed to downloading. Xbox360 and Playstation 3 owners can select individual tracks for $2 a piece, making the entire selection $40 in total, $10 higher. A decent deal, or should downloadable content really have been something for the Wii. We're looking at you, Nintendo!
dazzybee Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 It also works out cheaper: That's great news actually, shame it means swapping discs but oh well, 33% cheaper than next gen is really good. Still don't know whether to get Wii or PS3 versions but Wii is favourite to be honest, it's my main console, this disc is a nice sweetner and I aint bothered about online!
pedrocasilva Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 A decent deal, or should downloadable content really have been something for the Wii. We're looking at you, Nintendo!Nah, we're looking at you... EA!
Noodleman Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 http://gonintendo.com/?p=42054#more-42054 Is this pretty much the DLC from the 360 version on a disc for the Wii! Its not even a quarter of the DLC already on the 360.
Cookyman Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Excellent review of Rock Band 2 and other music games on the Wii.
