Do you realise how much they are trying to make us pay?

Instruments are no longer bundled, and the game itself isn't cheap. I think the rrp is about £180.

Had a look and play are doing borth for £140, but it's still a rip compared to the US version.

If you have a PS3 i'd see how much it is to import.

Bonus tracks are poopa sept Muse. Hmm seems a decent game, but as said, this price is a tad steep.

Was looking forward to this, not so much now after reading this:

Perhaps more disappointing is the price: unlike the US, which received a Special Edition that includes the game, a Fender Strat guitar, the drum kit and a mic, all for $169 – Europe will only get an Instrument Edition priced £129.99 / 169 Euros, including the three peripherals but not the game – which, bought separately, will set you back £49.99 / 69.99 Euros. So, if you want the proper Rock Band experience, the minimum you're going to have to shell out is around £180 / 240 Euros.

Quite why EA has decided to release the Instrument Pack without the game is anyone's guess, although it's likely retailers will bundle the two together, if not at launch then hopefully shortly after. In addition, wireless guitars will be available separately for the princely sum of £59.99 / 79.99 Euros, with standalone drum kits setting you back £69.99 / 89.99 Euros.
