£80 from play.com, £90 RRP.

Now this is some serious bullshit.

Firstly, Rock band drum kits are half that - £45.

Secondly, by current exchange rates, $100 = £70.50, where's the extra £20 come from?

Finally, the band bundle itself is £130 RRP, surely I could get that and sell the guitar, game & mic and pay far less in the end.

Is there any reason why they are so expensive?

In For Whom the Bell Tolls can anyone tell which one's bass and which one's guitar? I think they may have actually charted the bass intro on bass.

How dare they!

And these sons of bitches thought they could get away with it.....

everything is overpriced in england!
Just be thankful it isnt as much of a blatant rip off as rock band 1 was when it got released.

RB1 was the biggest rip in history. We get overpriced for most damn things, and we get them later than the states usually to boot! I'm also sorta apprehensive about how much Halo 3:ODST is gonna cost. Bungie said that they're going to make it so that we won't be paying "full game price" for it, making me think somewhere around £25 at a stretch (about $40). However, in a country where the GH:A bundle is sold in shops for £80 (about $140) and the game itself sells for £50, i'm seriously doubting that we're going to see a decently priced version of ODST
