About Me
Hey guys,

for years you have known me as Ali D but now I am revealed as Alasdair Duncan, who also happens to be a bearded Scottish guy. Who've thunk it, right? I'm currently working with the PC team to cover all things personal computer related and also writing the odd review. I'm also one of the moderators on the forums trying to keep the place all nice and tidy for you all.

Plus I crave attention via the following:

Final Rock Band Australian Cofirmation
Alasdair Duncan | 4:58 AM on 09.22.2008 10 comments


For fuck's sake, you'd think I've got nothing bettr to talk about. And well, you'd be right. IGN is reporting that Australia finally has a confirmed Rock Band release date for early November. However, there is some good news; the price will be surprisingly decent. $250AU ($208US or 113 GB pounds) will net you the full bundle of the game + instruments.

Whilst this is still slightly good news, it does dash the possibility of us skipping to Rock Band 2. Also, GH:WT will be released a week later, more expensive at $330 but it's the up-to date game and is arguably the better bundle. Now it's up to Australian consumers to decide who's had the best strategy. Me, I can't afford either of these at launch, not with the quality releases in October and November.

Oh thank fucking god! A year late, yet not as big of a fuck up as the European edition.

RB1 has the better soundtrack anyway! Bowie and NIN FTW!

Looks like you got the attention of some Australians this time and in a timezone they will be able to see your post too.

Hah, yeah. It's amazing what happens when I get home from work at a decent time. I thought I'd post it and not worry about re-writes and funny header images for a change.

Waht? Why do you get it AFTER New Zealand? That makes no sense.

Oh hey EA, what's that? Now that Acitivision might have a monopoly on rhythm games you suddenly give a shit? Yeah, thanks but no thanks, especially since this is the "broken instruments" version.
