Rock Band price and release date
Ianidas | 9:31 AM on 07.13.2007 10 comments


While I was scouring the internet for some Rock Band fix (since it's crack cocaine in my blood stream) I ended up at RockBandGame.com (which up til now i had no idea existed actually, since rockband.com has developers blogs and what not), but either way I'm looking through this flashy rockbandgame.com and notice the preorder button, so naturally I click it and it gives you the options of GameStop and BestBuy, so I check both:

BestBuy has both (games only)listed for a 11/13/07 release on PS3 and 360. No peripherals listed however. Listed at 59.99 as usual.

GameStop on the other hand, has the games, peripherals, and bundles all listed (with prices) for a 11/20/07 release. Game same price, the wireless guitar is $20 more for 360 as already posted, and the bundle of all the insturments is the same 199.99 for PS3 and 360 alike. It does include the wireless guitar, a drum set, mic, and the game itself. Not bad, since if you each part alone it'll set you back $249.96 - so you save $50.

Which date is the real release date? I'm leaning towards the 20th on this one, since GameStop seems to have a lot more info on the game, peripherals, and offer if you preorder by the 19th you're gauranteed to get it (if you overnight) on the 20th. So they're offering a lot more than BestBuy too, who just have the game. So it's not set in stone, but look for Nov. 20th (give or take a week at most).

I already have Wii but I could sell it on ebay and buy Rock band and have left over money!

I wouldn't trust preordering from Gamestop when it comes to peripheral games (really any game). I preordered Guitar Hero from them back in the day and they got it 5 days after Best Buy (who had plenty). They wouldn't admit it at the time, but I found out later that it was because Gamestop uses a cheaper shipping method than Best Buy and Guitar Hero, being a larger item, took longer to get there.

Maybe they've wisened up since then, but I doubt you'll have any trouble finding Rock Band somewhere else on day 1.

Maybe so, but it still gives us a good look at when the game's coming out, regardless of who you end up getting it from

I sent my brother Resident Evil 4: Wii and when I was debating between Best Buy and GameStop shipping...GameStop was not only cheaper but was going to ship out QUICKER.

Plus I don't like Best Buy shipping/online cause they screwed me over on a CD deal and still pissed about it cause they lied to me.

Blindside you should be thinking Rock Band or Brawl... Rock Band or Brawl...

Oh, I thought you meant you were pre-ordering in the store. Yeah, ordering online I have no clue.

I didn't mean SELL my Wii for this game...I meant I can either buy Rock Band or ANOTHER Wii. Then sell the Wii on ebay for at least $300, and pocket the change....
