Rock Band - Instruments & Game - £132.98 + Quidco


£132.98

369°

FOUND BY: BOFH_UK 1 year, 7 months ago

Play.Com seem to be the first major retailer with prices for Rock Band on the Xbox 360. The good news is they also seem to be way below the RRP of £179.98 at £139.98. Add on voucher experience08 for 5% off to bring the price down to £132.98 and go through quidco for another 4%.

Edit - There seems to be some confusion over this so let's see if we can clear it up here:

1) The instrument pack does NOT include a copy of the game. This is stupid beyond belief but that's the way EA decided to play it. If you order the instrument set on its own @ £99.99 you won't get the Rock Band game.

2) At the moment all Guitar Hero controllers for the 360 seem to work with Rock Band and vice versa, or at least they did for the US release. On the PS3 the controllers for both games are not compatible (note, some queries over whether GH controllers work in RB).

3) Rock Band is a timed 360 exclusive in Europe. In the US it is available for 360, PS3 and PS2 with a Wii version on the way. Europe will get these versions "later this summer".

Note this is for pre-order, the game comes out on the 23rd of May.

Which is a very very VERY polite way of what I've been saying since they announced the price details this morning... let's just say there were considerably more F's in my version

Yep, I've just tested this and it seems to only work once per account.

Are these prices likely to alter at all with it only being a pre order?

They can't charge you anymore for it, the worse that will happen is that they will cancel your pre-order, if something crops up cheaper, then you have the right to cancel the pre-order also

OOo same day I finish my exams. Hmmm tempting...

When do you get charged with a pre-order? When they ship or before?

It'll be charged when they ship it, you can cancel anytime before then as well if it's cheaper elsewhere.
