Live the dream with PDP's Rock Band 'Interactive Light and Smoke Stage Show'
10:26 PM on 01.11.2008, Nick Chester 62 comments

     Rock Band

Just when we thought we had seen it all, eagle-eyed Dtoider Guitaratomik has unearthed what will surely take home 2008s "Most Unnecessary in Gaming" award -- the "Rock Band Stage Kit."

The listing found on GameStop.com has since been stripped of its image (and contains no real information), but Guitaratomik was fast like a puma, and was able to snag the above screencap. Good thing, too, because there's no way anyone would have believed that the "stage kit" was actually an "Interactive Light and Stage Show."

Provided it meets the stricts criteria of local fire and safety codes, Performance Design Products' "rock concert in a box" should be available this July for the low cost of $99.99. Hey, you can't put a price on living the rock n' roll lifestyle, man.

Even though I was first, congrats GA. Also I did happen to hear from a Harmonix poster on Scorehero that this will actually sync with the music that's being played.
It is the tenth comment down.

Man, only the shorties would want/buy something like that.

I guess that means more emo DLC.

Do we get flash bang grenades and a can of piss to pour on the carpet for that authentic Ozzfest ambiance?

I love how EA is basically publishing games that have infinite price tags. You could literally spend money on this game every week, and now I have to contend with finding room to store this fucker!

It's bad enough I have a tower of PS3 Rock Bands that stands six feet high and twelve feet deep in my store right now. I'm just waiting for some jackass to try to LARP 9 11 into it.

I'm now awaiting the Rock Band add on band contractual agreement with the game label that you have to read very carefully to notice that your band is only making ten cents per album sold, divided by the four people in your band.

This is retarded. That said, I'll probably end up buying it because I have nothing else to spend my money on. Also, I'm jaded.

Sweet mother of pearl. And thought that having a fake band couldn't get any lamer. I like the idea and all, but I'm certainly from the just-learn-to-play-a-real-instrument-already camp, so this is a very interesting day for me. Let's just say that I wouldn't buy it, but I doubt they'll miss my 99 bucks.

Heh, it's really not needed. Oh look, now I can play Rock Band while the smoke machine sqpurts smoke at me and I can't see the screen! YAY!

Is there really a market for this?

I thought that Rock Band sold well below expectations. Did it sell more than I think it did?

@ Jonathan Holmes:

I believe figures for December showed that Rock Band outsold GH III on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

In before Reggie claims Guitar Hero 3 for Wii was the number one guitar game in December.

I didn't hear that. Good to know. Rock Band certainly deserves the sales.

Rock Band isn't even released in sweden yet but now I'm convinced that I won't even buy rock band anymore...

But hey, this WILL sell a couple of thousand copys because we all need to look cool while we play a game... and smoke sure does help.

"but I'm certainly from the just-learn-to-play-a-real-instrument-already camp,"

Everyone else here pretty much likes those games, and many of us already play real instruments, and most of us think this add on is some stupid shit. However, if you're not a fan of the instrument based rhythm games, you should probably STFU and go play halo.

Music games = massive milking
Between the DLC, this kind of crap, and the actual game itself, you could seriously buy yourself a real decent guitar.
