    $59.99 for Wii????

    I believe this is the highest priced game ever for Wii.

    Too bad, I want the game but would never spend $60 for a video game. Can not believe in today's economy they woudl charge that kinda money.

    Just recently found some instruments and not gotta wait to get this.

    Get used to it. Games on the 360/PS3 have been $60 since they launched. Like the price of gas, game prices can do nothing but go up.

    Suck it up. All general console games in Australia are $90-110. Even with currency conversion, it's still more.

    You do realize you could probably go to Amazon or a Gamestop and get it cheaper, yes?
    Also, I have butter cookies!

    It's a licencing issue. You'll notice that GH5 disc was also $60 on the wii.

    Given the only feature the Wii version was missing is the ability to play the Abby Road Medley (if you cared), it's still a good deal for a good game.

    Of course, it goes for less now. Heck, I've seen the Collectors edition on clearance at Target.

    Wii owners love to complain about not being given equal content but they aren't willing to pay the equal money.

    1. All new games cost about that much. You could probably find it for $40ish on eBay, Craigslist, etc. $50 at Gamestop.
    2. Even NES games were $50 new, and that was 25 years ago.

    Well... you pay your money and make your choice, or not.

    Personally I''ve already had and continue to have many hours of fun (and frustration ) with this game, far more than just about any other Wii game I've ever bought, except perhaps Mariokart.

    If you have to ask, then yes.
