Rock Band

Word on the street is that Amazon and Gamestop are both offering pre-orders on Rock Band, which allows us to see the first hint as to the cost of this true behemoth of entertainment when it's released on November 20th. Looks like the bundle including the game, drum set, microphone, and one wireless guitar will run for $199.99. This is about a $60 savings over buying each piece separately. Of course, retailers often release these figures just to drum up pre-order sales, so the price is subject to change, but the $200 price tag can't be far off. This is right around what I expected, and I'm glad that it won't be any higher. I'm already poor enough as it is.
