Guest Stefkov Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow. play.com are doing the instruments for £100. It's doesn't even look like a mistake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I guess £140 then? Much more reasonable but still £20 more than it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I guess £140 then? Much more reasonable but still £20 more than it should be. agreed. if they chop off another £20, then I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Thing is if you think about it. You're getting the guitar, like Guitar Hero's guitar. That costs £70 for the guitar and game. So you could say the guitar'd cost £30/40 itself. If you say each of the instruments cost that £30 then £90/100 would seem right. But then a microphone is hardly worth £30. Still, the game should be bundles with it no matter what and that just shows how much they really don't care about the consumer. It's all about the money, it always has and will be.

Chuck Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wow. play.com are doing the instruments for £100. It's doesn't even look like a mistake.. Yea thats pretty good, works out cheaper if you could buy the mic seperatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 rob you're a fool. I saw your original post. I didn't misread it, a bit hard to do so when it's in the name. And yes it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If you can get it at play.com for about £135, then maybe some other retailers will go even lower. There may be hope yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babooo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Product development manager of rock band speaks: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=131461 I'm glad that the price of the whole game is causing such a stir...I'm hoping it makes retailers lower the price. PLAY and Amazon both have it for £140...I know thats better than the original £180 but tbh I'm still not sold at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 "not magically going to get cheaper because you wish it to be so". That's a complete lie. If we wish it was cheaper (at this scale) then sales will be murdered. And when it doesn't sell the price will "magically" get cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodleman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Now thats great PR work. What a hero has he been taking lessons from Ken "2 jobs" Kutaragi. I call bullshit that its costs £95 more to ship something from China to Europe then it does from China to the US as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 The drums on their own are £70! You get more advanced kids toy drums for £30 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If they need all this extra to cover extra costs of shipping to EU, then why can play.com afford to sell the instruments at £30 less? Play need to be making a sensible profit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thats bullshit. If it costs so much more to ship to Europe, why can you buy the game at retail from America and then ship it here for less? Surely they could take that route too and make it even cheaper? Not to mention they would be shipping in bulk. Also, that "PR" guys attitude is totally off.

Guest Stefkov Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Clinky linky Rumour that the price may be reduced. Might be going down to £130. If xe.com is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah, better be true. If it was that in Euro's, it would be what, £140-150? Then sites would mark it down a bit, maybe be a bit closer to the original £130. Heres hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 xe.com had 169 euros as close to £130 I think. That's a much better price imo. Considering the Lengendary Halo and the Special edition of GTA costs £80 I think £130 would be superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 At £130 I buy it at a stretch, at anything more I don't bother. I think alot of others are in that sort of area for price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thats still a bit much for me. Does that mean it costs £130 and then we have to buy the game separately for £40 on top? I'd buy it if it was £120 for the whole package. Simple as. Anything more and it aint gonna get bought. I'm sorry but its just far too much we are being asked to pay.

Guest Stefkov Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If it is £130 for the whole thing that's £10 more. You could find that in the streets in 10ps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 £10 is hardly anything to seperate a purchase and no purchase. I can't see why you'd be willing to part with £120 for the game but not £130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 It's the principle really. £120 is acceptable at a stretch, £130 is pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
