The problem isn't that the export is too expensive. The problem is that this game is overpriced for us up here.

Bah. I don't feel it's fair and I'm voicing that opinion. It should be clearly labeled on the package - I would've waited for it to come down in price had I known it would've been so expensive.

As for your bland commentary, I realize everything in life is a "do it or don't" situation. Thanks for the input.

I hate when people don't read the official press release.

So, yeah, you should have known almost a month ago.

It was also a year old at the time it exported.

time on the market really shouldn't affect it. the procedure is still the same - transferring data from a disc onto a hard drive.

I still think the code thing was kinda silly.

What's going to happen when all you can find is used copies?

You will have learnt you should have bought it last year.

If I was in your shoes, I'd say the same thing to Rock Band when Rock Band 2 came out.

Actually it's not. RB1 was an export off the disc. Lego is a download. Some of this money is probably going to Microsoft and Sony for the gigs of data transfer they're creating, since it is over a full gig per user.

The cool kids, including myself, got it for $37.99 at Frys.

Indeed.

Yay Fry's and the first week of release sale!

Just made it in on the last day.

even COOLER kids used the $20 rebate that amazon.com gave them for pre-ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2...and applied it to the $43 amazon was charging for L:RB at the time and got the game for $23! booyah!

I paid $6 for LEGO Rock Band at a swap meet Brand New sealed. and i was like sweet! So now i got the songs exported to RB2, and i just sold the game for $35 to gamestop.

Not quite sure what you mean but in both instances you DL'ed the export key then exported to songs from the disc to your hard drive. Both instances needed the disc. The background may have been different but the process & end result are the same. If Lego was a true download then you could done it directly from the PS store.
