Australian price for Rock Band is ball-busting

Why buy a game that's more than the console? For any Aussie's here, I'd think you'd have a better chance importing the game, if you were interested in getting it.

Why do you think pirating is so Rife in australia?

no one in there right mind would buy this.

[Limited]

Ouch, ours is quite expensive too =\

Drums guitar and microphone £129.99 ($279.30)
Game £49.99 ($107.41)
Drum Kit £69.99 ($150)

The reason alot of games coming out that have these hardware bundles is to slow piracy down, its not the same experience to play it regularly which is a reason for people to shell out for the expensive hardware =\

USA has no idea how lucky they are when it comes to buying things.

*Edit 2* I'm sorry to you too limited.

Prices suck. D:

Kinda gay how you can only play a track of given songs instead of your own? :-3

Eh, it's not worth it. Would be better just to pick up an instrument irl instead of that, although it is pretty fun.

Everything videogame related is stupidly overpriced in Australia. You just have to deal with it (eg, $90 - $110 for a new release game).

[n00b1n8R]

The OJ box and Rock Band are aimed at totally different audiences. >__>

[Terry]

Heh, we don't even have the latest games on sale over here. We basically have to import everything on our own :/.

An old game boy advance game is around 70$ US here
