$9.99 For Exporting Songs.

[dinga6969]

Those saying this game is 49,99$, I paid 67$ with tax.

Holy hell! You should complain.......about yourself. Why on Earth did you pay that much?

Because I thought it would be an amazing game.

I was wrong.

You dont HAVE to do anything at all, you can play all the songs to your hearts content in LEGO: ROCKBAND for no additional charge.

Pay or dont.

Choices are cool.

If you do not want to debate on what is, do not go to a discusion board. ...are we back in the USSR or whats going on!?

The game is actually $49.99 in the U.S., so that + the $10 export fee makes it $60, which is the normal price of every other video game.

This.

It felt high initially, but the ability to play these songs in RB2 is huge to me, so the cost isn't so bad. Plus I've had enough fun with LRB itself that I feel like I've gotten my money's worth already.

OP made a statement as if the export was required. Doc just straightened the OP out.

I'm wondering if th OP was living on the moon for the past
2 months, with so many postcounts, how could he avoid all those
threads about Lego export to RB2 ?

All the gamers websites were writing about it,
let's not forget the flooding on the same subject
on these boards.

Seems that there's no interweb access on the moon, not yet !

I'm presuming the export for Rock Band 2 will cost a hefty twenty bucks, using LEGO Rock Band as a base.

Unless they planned ahead and pre-licensed the songs for the Rock Band Platform.

I doubt that heavily. RB2 will be more than a year old, and will be solely HMX's game. I can't see it exceeding $10, if not checking in at the same $5 we saw RB1.

LEGO has Traveller's and Warner attached. Both of which likely wanted a cut of any export revenue.

LOL, I'd believe that if they charted the songs, or allowed the LEGO Block to distinguish the songs from the rest, or showed that they had something to do with crafting the songs.

Unless they helped pay for licensing the songs. In which case I understand if they wanted a piece.

But, nonetheless, I'm sure you're right about the RB2 Export. I don't know if I would even bother at this point, considering how tired I am of them.

But I digress.

Once somebody exports their songs, there's a chance they will sell the game to a store such as GameStop.

At that point, there is now a used copy on the market that would take a sale away (as there will be some that buy LEGO that don't care about exportation).

I could see TT/Warner using that in an argument as to why they should get some share of exportation sales, since those exports would potentially create copies of the game on the secondary market.
