Guess they want to make more money, even though they made enough already at .99 cents, which was good deal.

3 - Weak

So you pay 180$ for a GAME and some very defective instruments. Then you have to pay 2$ per song to add more music? Sorry no thanks. WEAK

Like they are not making enough at 1$ per song. Oh well i guess. People will buy it so why not i guess.

3.4 - @ relcom

you obviously havent played the game, ive gone through 4 guitars and still enjoy the game, buying songs for 2 bucks isnt bad seeing that i get to enjoy more than just listening to them, i get to play them. why spend 100 on gh when for 70 bucks more you get drums and mic and the ability to play with 4 people? rb blows gh out of the water.

This was always their plan. Have it cheap as a special price for the first month then bring it back to normal after that time.

I also noticed the article didnt mention that new cheap songs will be coming out soon.

5 - I still find it to be a bunch of bulls***

That you would have to pay for a cover. In GH or RB. But yeah nothing new, this was always planned. I just hope Activision gets on the ball soon, they are losing the DLC battle. I would love to buy Rock Band, but not worth it. I'd be playing single player most of the time.

5.1 - Covers?

At least 2 of the $0.99 songs are originals.

I meant overall. To me ONE cover is ridiculous, at least you can buy them separately. Damn you Activision

6 - CANADA?

The price better not go up in Canada. really. We already have to pay more for everything, even though our dollar is around the same as the USD and at one point even higher. I pay 7.50 for 500 points. If a song is 160 pts, or 80, depending (wtf is with that, anyways) I can buy 3 songs ( 480 points) I already pay a little more than $2.00 for a song. So i hope this is only tru in the US. I love this game, but f*ck this. I normally don't get on the EA hate train but, wow.

Canada get really short end of the stick, with the point system, that's one of the benefit of Sony's real currency system.

Not that big of a deal, at least for me since I only buy maybe one or two songs.

And that would be really awesome to see whole albums like the guy mentioned, if the pick good ones. lol

Ugh. I've never played these games, but with the final price tag now lingering around $200+ I think I'll have to pass this time and jump on some other fadwagon when it rolls around.

I'm fairly certain after YEARS of DDR and 3 solid years of guitar hero and now the amazingly-epic rock band, that you can stop calling it a "fad" now. Unless gaming is a "fad", along with movies, books, and computers being "fads".

These rock band/Guitar hero type titles must be HUGE money makers. We all know Console makers make money on accessories (Like controllers, and such).

So you go out and buy a "Bundle" for like 160 bucks, there for sure making money on it (There definitely not selling it at a loss), then on top of that, when you get bored, buy downloaded games at 2 bucks a pop, download like 10 tracks, and that's 20 bucks.

Your final price could be like in the 250 range or more when it's all said and done.

The Sims. You pay 50 dollars for the game and then... wait... how many expansion packs do I have to buy?!? It's a license to print money.

All right, I'll take it back even though DDR has jackalloffslut to do with the "epic" Rock Band which has been out less than a year. It is not a fad. It's an epidemic.
