Ok is it just me or is this whole drum thing a complete and total rip-off?

Drums = $89.99, no cymbals or game included
Cymbals = $20 individual or $40 for the set, again no game
Game = $60
Add tax to all of those and you are sitting at roughly $185-190 just to play the game with a somewhat realistic drumming experience. (Which being a real drummer for 6+ years, this is a must for me).

I think I’ll just pass on this one or wait to see if I can get it as a college grad gift…

Well Stephany, it’s no joke. I’m not sure where you ‘heard’ that Rockband2 releases for PS3 and Wii on October 8, but you’re apparently misinformed The current Rockband2 release dates are as follows:

- Rockband2 XBox360 ($59) Sep 14th
- Rockband2 Special Edition Xbox360 ($189) Oct 19th
- Rockband2 PS3 ($59) Oct 19th
- Rockband2 Special Edition PS3 ($189) Oct 19th
- Rockband2 Wii ($49) Nov 18th
- Rockband2 Special Edition Wii ($189) Nov 18th

Check out rockbandstore.com for the current release dates.

Most Xbox360 Rockband players already have the instruments and have no need for multiple drumsets. I ordered the ION Drumrocker set today which is a superior drumset to the cheap one that comes with the Special Edition. Sux for Wii people to have to wait until Nov 19 for either the standalone game or the Special Edition; oh well, that’s what they get

Hell, I was upset after all the images I saw of the drums I fell in love with ended up being of a VERY expensive “PREMIUM” version of the drums that I shall never be able to afford (nor willing to pay) for just a game. I will buy the game disc though and, eventually, I am sure my wife will sntch up the wireless guitar.
Salviati knows what I want.. Christmas is coming man, care to share the love ? Hahahaha

I dont think I’m going to even bother buying the guitar. And I am more interested in picking up the ION drum kit, but I will wait for some reviews to come out before I buy it. https://www.drumrocker.com/index.php

well personally not a big deal for me since i already bought the last version with all the instruments and the new instruments that are coming look somewhat interesting just not worth buying them again.

Well, my group of friends really don’t need 12 sets of drums.

And my match is a little off too!

I meant to say $219.97!

“Game: $59.99
Wireless Guitar: $69.99
Wireless Drum Kit: $89.99
Total: $189.97 + tax (and the gas it takes to get to the store)”

Seems your math is a tad bit off.
$199.97 should be the correct total.
