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.

Now I can perform a real live Rock Band concert for all my friends! (stuffed animals)
You still need to burn your own guitarist to death, though.
Man, Great White will never live that down.
this is where i draw the line...
Does it come with cocaine, because I really need cocaine right now.
excuse me Mr. Chester, it's actually an "Interactive Light and SMOKE Stage Show." don't forget the smoke machine.
Where are the inflatable groupies?
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.
No eleven inch styrofoam Stonehenge prop, no sale.
And the "Why does this even exist" award goes to...
That is so incredibly nessasary.
I want one and I don't even play Rock Band.
Man, only the shorties would want/buy something like that.
I guess that means more emo DLC.
I'm going to Game Stop tomorrow to preorder this. What do you think $5 down enough?
How much for the groupies?
I need a facepalm graphic. But no anime, which is stupid.
So is this official???
@power-glove
Oh man! I missed that! Sorry dude.
@topgeargorilla
I'm pretty sure it is. It has the official Rock Band logo on the box
WHai?
Only if it includes Heroin Hero.
The line must be drawn HERE!
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.
/in after everyone who brought up inflatable groupies; i'm sold.
Well, shit...they might as well go the whole nine yards and sell bundles of Rock Band-branded cocaine.
That would be cool if it wasn't 100 dollars.
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?
This is retarded. Whoa, and I'm actually reading "I'm buying this" here. Figures.
@ Jonathan Holmes:
I believe figures for December showed that Rock Band outsold GH III on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
@Nick Chester
In before Reggie claims Guitar Hero 3 for Wii was the number one guitar game in December.
@ Nick
I didn't hear that. Good to know. Rock Band certainly deserves the sales.
I'm sure this will sell millions.
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.
THIS MAY QUITE POSSIBLY SELL IN THE hundreds MAYBE EVEN thousands
I just burn some toast for smoke and get some friends to flick the lights on and off = instant stage show.
What a joke,
Im waiting for the codpieces. Cant be a rockstar without a codpiece.
Unnecessary? This just shows how much more hardcore the Bee Suit Boyz are than your band.
this is gloriously stuptarded
"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.
So will with come with the Great White Song pack or not?
Cool.
