Rockband is not here yet. Personally i don’t think it will ever get released here and that it does not exist. It is all a big joke by the rest of the world on NZ. Australia however are meant to be getting thier version in October, and price rumours are circulating.

The game is “due in October” for Australia. Rumours are circulating about the pricing for Australia and its going to be expensive. Whats worse is there is no ‘all in one’ package to get you rockin. They are looking at charging $400 AU for this. Thats over $500 NZD !!!!

You’ll have to buy the game separately, and the game is going to retail for AUD$120 (USD$115). For instruments, you’ve got two options. All will be available individually (guitars are priced at AUD$110/USD$105, with drums at AUD$160 and mics TBA) , but you’ll also have the option of buying a “hardware kit” that includes one guitar, drums and one mic. That’ll cost you AUD$290 (USD$277). So to buy the game and the hardware bundle (ie what you get in the $169 American bundle), you’ll be paying AUD$400. That’s USD$380.

I cannot condone anyone buying this game here if it is real and ever arrives. It potentially is going to be over priced, and not only that it will have been superceded by its follow up, Rock Band 2, by the time it gets here. Such a shame as I personally know quite a few people, other than myself, who have been looking forward to this.
