Although it will be the second of two
Rock Band-branded games available this holiday (the first being
The Beatles: Rock Band),
LEGO Rock Band won't rock your wallet as much as you might have thought.
Games retailer
GameStop is listing LEGO Rock Band for the cool price of $49.99 across all console platforms -- Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. That's $10 less than most big-named games at retail, perhaps priced to appeal more to the family demographic.
We've confirmed with Warner Bros. and Harmonix that these prices are the real and final deal, so go sock away that $10 for some downloadable content or candy. Man, do we like candy...

No word on DLC compatibility, but it will be exportable to Rock Band 2.
Yes. Yes you can. The songs from Lego RB will be exportable for RB 1 and 2. Good news for all! :D
I might give this one a shot--if it turns out the Iggy Pop song is the theme from Space Goofs, I'll buy two copies.
This is just a random guess, but it's possible they didn't feel the need to include "family oriented" on the Wii sticker because the system is inherently family oriented.
And the $10 will probably go toward the license to export. Great.
I wonder why only the 360 version has all the brand logos, though?
I imagine that the lack of an EA logo on the covers stems from the omission of bundle packs which the company has [u]distributed[/u] since Rock Band. WB Games is likely picking up the tab on this project, and for good reason -- more money for them!
Maybe we will be able to customize it by ourselves.
I had fun listening to Ghost Buster themes on the loading screen everytime I die in that game. So, I might pick it up just for that.
