Rock Band out today

Furp · 2008-05-20 11:32:17

Just wondering is anyone was picking it up, I don't suppose many would be because of the obvious pricing issue. It is a shame as it was one game I was really looking forward to, especially to have a few friends over for a bbq and some rockin' just noticed according to play.com its today but amazon its the 23rd.

Got it today and immediatly downloaded the Metallica song pack. Well worth the 440 points. Some great songs included on the game itself also. The drums are wicked.:)

I've downloaded The Police and Boston packs, Metallica's next! It's great fun, I'll try to pick up the drums cheap sometime. And I'd like to try the Strat, but the Les Paul from GH3 will do.

No, they wont. You would probably be done for customs anyway.

As far as I know, big items go to London then onwards to Ireland to avoid such charges. Could be wrong though.

According MCV, HMV are doing a deal including the game, instruments and microphone for £130 in the UK, any ideas how much they're charging in Ireland?

Was in there today and its 200 for the lot. Gave it a play and its loads of fun. So tempting, but I should probably save my money for more reasonable purchases!

Generally when play.com won't ship something outside the UK it very clearly says so. There is no such warning on Rock Band or the instrumental edition.

The notice isn't that clear but I went through the checkout and everything (the Band in a Box pack) and they won't post it to outside the UK. So annoying.

Guess I'll just get it in HMV, doesn't seem like that bad a deal. Relatively, I mean. It's still a huge amount of money.

I saw a sign outside Zavvi in Liffey Valley that it's €190 for the lot. I went in and it looked like it was €75 for the game on it's own :eek:

This game is bloody brilliant.

Singing and Guitaring is some challenge though, you really have to know the lyrics yourself.

Was away from Boards when this was released and have been sick the last couple of days.. was unaware it was even released. Am torn on whether to buy it or not.

Seems a bit pointless just buying the games without the drums etc.

And when GH4 comes out, I'd assume the drums in that won't be compatible and vice-versa. Too much hassle!

But girlfriend is up in Dublin next weekend so might get her to pick the game up in Argos, but have a €50 Zavvi voucher I may use either.

Picked up the drums n game today(alread have GH3 controller)...

Its brill, drums take some getting used to... that n the fact im pants at drums. The guitar is much the same only the track list is far far better and the amount of songs u can buy in the store.... I'll be poor(er) come the weekend.

Slick game, GH4 would wanna be special and have a fantastic track list to beat this...

Well i sold my soul, caved and bought Rock Band. I got it while the offer is on in Zavvi so its cheaper.

Im not blown away by it. In fact im a little disappointed. It took me a while to get the calibration right and even now its not perfect. I play the drums in real life, have gigged, yet according to rock band my timing isnt always right, which is becoming frustrating.

I find GH3 more enjoyable however I havent had a party session of Rock Band yet.

faceman.. check your model number of your drums - see here!

I'm playing with an EL model and I'm finding it missing beats from time to time.

I'm still quite impressed with it.. but very much a newbie at the drums, so I'm working my way through easy. Things weren't going grand until 'Maps'.. there's a helluva step up from the 10 - 12 songs previous to it.
