Rock Band 199.99?!?!?!?!?!

[angry-boss]

Ok so, checked online at both Best Buy and Future Shop (Canada) and they have the bundle listed at 199.99. So yeah F-U-C-K that! I will $hit down someones throat if I have to pay 200 bucks for this game and it's broke a$$ peripherals. Oh yeah, that's complimented nicely by the fact theat 2800 MS points still cost 40 bucks. Which means each song download costs 3.50$ What a Steal!!!!!
Here's a little math for you, if each song on the disc costed that much it would be $157.50 excluding bonus tracks. Tax not included (14% YUM!)
Before anyone says something *** like "well you don't have to buy it." I already plan NOT to! I have been looking forward to this game since it was announced back in April when I thought it sounded so good it must be an April fools joke from the gaming sites. But I am one consumer that is not like these impatient f@gs who wont take a stand to these bull$hit prices and will buy it even if it came across the boarder at 400 dollars and the drum kit was made out of paper plates. I seriously want to B1itch slap someone in the face, but I don't know who's responisble for this garbage so I might just boot f-u-c-k everyone if they deserve it or not just to take out my rage!

[jimmyn28]

haha, i like your cynicism.

[SoKGiX]

eh, send it from a store in the US, that way u don't have to pay shipping.

still gettin reamed on the DLC pricing though, that blows. i haven't bought any anyway though, still waitin on nevermind to come out

[CollegeDropouts]

haha chill bro. Chill....

[slip23]

Websites are wrong. It's listed as 169.99 when I look it up on our inventory system. I work at Best Buy

[Ventura]

Well gee, now you've had a taste of how the rest of us have it. Only, those of us in places like Australia get it that much worse. I guarantee the special edition bundle out here will be at least $300.

Honestly, sit down and be quiet. You really have no right to complain.

[slip23]

I also remember us having Guitar Hero 3 listed for 119.99 for a couple of days and then it went back down to 99.99. Prices on the website aren't set in stone. Just wait till the release date approaches.

Did you notice the release date change on top of that???

[angry-boss]

guy above me, dude you should be rallying with me instead of snatching my God givin right to complain, i totaly feel for my Aussie bretheren (I have a cousin and law from there great guy!) we all have a right to complain. Mind you your stuff has to be boated or flown over ours is actualy easier to get to us then to Alaska or hawaii where it will still cost less.

[smashedbunny]

Honestly, sit down and be quiet. You really have no right to complain.

I will always fight for my right to PARTY!!!!!!

[Transbrak]

the game is great at twice the price

[angry-boss]

To smashedBunny, lol yeah just noticed that big smelly wad of a release date taunting me. The 28th?????? I can here the little boys who love music all crying on christmas when they get GH 3 instead of Rock band cuz their parents' pre-orders that they put their hard earned overtime in for, fell through last minute.

First of all we didn't change the price to $199.99, second there are already plenty of threads in which to complain about Rock Band and Canada.

[angry-boss]

From HMXSean.

but none of those threads have my special flavour of input on them. I don't want someone elses run down lost on the 11th page thread, I wanna be heard! the truth is scary and I know you want to silence it but when its me taking you're 30 dollars then we'll talk.

If you want people to read what you have to say so damn badly, at least make it to where I don't wanna claw through my head and destroy my own brain for having taken in your words.

Dude, please I can already tell you're fat.........I would knock you out cold and then put you in series of guillatine chokes, triangles and kimuras and you wouldn't be able to tap out.

Did you see the part where he said they didn't change the price to $199, so they're not talking your $30? Or, did you just miss the first half completely?

[KingColon]

Holy ****, you're one tough mother****er, aren't you?


I bet your mother's real proud of you, dude.

[angry-boss]

oh yeah, ok that's cool. Doesn't change the fact someone at Best Buy and or Future shop is going to die while still standing up.

[angry-boss]

Holy ****, you're one tough mother****er, aren't you?


I bet your mother's real proud of you, dude.

I'm not the toughest but i train mixed martial arts with trainers that fight UFC so, tougher then most to be sure.

and yes shes very proud.

This doesn't really seem to change the fact that this is the internet, though, does it?

'Cause, y'know, this is the internet. Lies about UFC training are worthless here, dude. You can't be a badass on the Goddamn internet.

[SlowGears]

Well i trained with Rocky so you may kick my a$$ but in the end I will win the fight in true Rocky fashion :p

[MacGrad]

Well i trained with Rocky so you may kick my a$$ but in the end I will win the fight in true Rocky fashion :p

No way -- I trained with Rocky II. I'm the one who wins in the end... but then again, I do get beat up by Mr. T...

[SlowGears]

I pitty the fool that get's into the ring with Mr. T

I'm not trying to be a badass, i just want to complain in peace and I really just don't like you. I think you're a f@g plain and simple

Wow...........ran together block of text with no real point.

Input? To me you are just cussing at everything under the sun

[TreoRock_]

Canadians strike again...

[angry-boss]

Wow...........ran together block of text with no real point.



Input? To me you are just cussing at everything under the sun

I'll make it simple for you,
US price 169.99
Canada price 199.99

DLC US 1.99
Canada DLC 3.50

Me=Pissed the F-U-C-K off
You=a big *****, get lost you f@ggot

[SlowGears]

SImple solution so we no longer have to hear you cry. MOVE TO THE US:D

[angry-boss]

I'd simply just buy it from the states and it would be problem solved (partialy) if it wasn't such an unreliable product and Canadians weren't getting an annoying runaround from EA about replacing there broken $hity instruments.

[ivan50265]

Sorry about the price difference for ya. Have you ever thought about therapy I'm not sure if your insurence covers it, but it might be a good way to blow that 199.99. ;)

[angry-boss]

yeah, probably could use some. This whole Rock Band thing is driving me insane. Anyone who has been excited as I am about this thing since April, then getting 4 huge bombs, massive delay, outragous game price, absolutely apauling DLC price, and another delay on top of that would understand my pain.

[capitalfn9]

i would have gladly paid 199.99 if i got a working product.

[icantwaitforrockband]

ANOTHER Canadian delay? Man this sucks!!! It is a game after all, and while it sucks, angry-boss, you need to relax a bit. I have the week off that it was supposed to come out in Canada. Oh well. Guess I won't be playin' 'till the New Year.

[Majic19]

Just a thought... is that price U.S. dollars or is it taking into consideration of the exchange rate? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I am just asking if that has any bearing on the price?

[icantwaitforrockband]

199.99 Cad


....why would a canadian website list the price in USD????

[0tj]

I'll make it simple for you,
US price 169.99
Canada price 199.99

DLC US 1.99
Canada DLC 3.50

Me=Pissed the F-U-C-K off
You=a big *****, get lost you f@ggot

Thank you for proving my point.....................

Sorry about the price but that's life.

[Majic19]

I am not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, But I would wager that $199.99 CaD is probably pretty close to $169.99 U.S. dollars. If that's the case then someone really needs to take a deep breath and count t ten.... thousand.

Not at all...seeing as the dollars are about par with each other (as the case has been for about two weeks) 199 CAD equals about 199 USD...


either way, I'm Canadian and am used to getting ripped off...

[Majic19]

I was just asking... I said didn't know what the exchange rate was, but since Harmonix has already said they did not change the price I was just wondering if that could have been the reason... Apparently that's not the case. Admittedly it's been two years since the last time I went to Canada and the exchange rate was about 8-10 back then so i was just asking.

[Majic19]

If it's not Harmonix raising the price then you need to take your complaints to your local Canadian retailers and complain to them for jacking up the price. But I wouldn't be surprised if that is just "pre-release hype". I had heard that RB was going to retail in the US for around $200 before they actually released the suggested retail price of $169.99 as well. So hopefully they are not going to jack up the price on you.
