When Rock Band was released States-side the in-box peripherals were found to be faulty in certain batches. The guitar didn't work correctly for some, and the drum kit broke for others. This meant that many were left high and dry as stocks were too low to issue replacement copies.

Well, over here we get the choice. The game is going to RRP as £49.99 (£39.99 normal price) and the peripherals will sell seperately for £129.99 (£119.99 real money). But no sign of bundle at all. So finding both parts will be the challenge, although we at the Lolocaust expect some retailers to offer bundle deals on the two seperate items, Game and Gamestation in particular. On top of the peripheral bundle the guitar will sell seperately for about £50 and the drums separately for roughly £60. No price yet for the mic.

As Gemsi rightfully pointed out earlier, the game is due for a May 23rd release, exclusively on XB360 (for now).

Serves the old cunt right for kissing apes.



Should have shot more apes, after all isn't that what the NRA is for, curbing the rise of the 'Planet of the Apes'?

It's funny, in a matter of weeks one game can go from the next great thing to bargain bin, the outsider can do well, and constantly people are guilty of under-estimation.

Last night's issues with XBL for example, should NOT have happened, but it appears that someone under-estimated the potential popularity of the new map pack, and then under-estimated the damage that could be caused by issuing a title update during a huge night of gaming.

Every now and then this sort of catastrophic fuck-uppery occurs, but it seems the industry will never learn.

I only hope they are prepared for a shitstorm if they fuck up the first night of new Burnout Paradise content. We love the game, and anything comes between that and us... we'll go spare.

Damn, don't listen to David Bowie while composing blog titles.

Anyways, been an odd week, and I have been revisiting an old friend of mine, the Acorn Electron (The BBC for poor people).





The Electron was my first home computer way back in the early 80's and was more than enough to set me up for life.

Best game? Frankenstein 2000 without fail.

But I haven't touched one in years, so have just bought one from eBay, and shudder at the prospect of Electron gaming on a 42 inch LCD TV...

Either way, will be a trip.

Sometimes things happen that knock you for six, and today I have been knocked for six, seven and indeed eight.

360 Gamer magazine has put our site on their 'Hot List'



Consider my socks blown off.

And consider the site crashed by a huge influx of visits...

:D

The other day I introduced the site we are working on, which aims to be the Kinder Surprise Egg of the internet... or at least somewhere near that.

Over the week we have been working on a podcast, but more importantly we've been moving servers, which is a hefty task, lucky we are a smallish site at the mo, we had to relink EVERY DAMN post to the correct author after the order got mixed up.

We are currently looking to build on what we have, with more 'One Hour Impressions' and hopefully less angry emails from Jews.

We actually thought it would be cool to create a website around a Nuclear Lolocaust, all cyber punk Mad Max, by the way of the Mighty Boosh and the News at Ten with Trevor MacDonald.

However, some figured we were going for Concentration Camp Hilarity.

Nobs.

So yeah, thanks for popping by, we've seen a lot of Destructoiders dropping by, so thanks for that, if you haven't been by, drop by...
