Last week, it was announced that Rock Band will finally be getting a release date here in Europe and everyone was happy. That is until they saw the pricing for it then they went up in arms about it. I shared my thoughts on the situation in a recent blog and since then, a representative from Harmonix came out and explained the reasoning behind the lludicrous pricing. He had some points about shipping costs and that but its still not a good reason perhaps as to why the game is twice as much here for everything than it was in the US.

Today, I read from this blog that following some rumours that there will be a price cut, Amazon and Play.com have slashed the prices for the instruments bundle and the game itself by 20% on pre-orders, which is quite frankly a lot better than the actual price announced. If you get them together then, it will be £139.98, which is £40 less than the RRP for the game and instruments bundle. I believe more people after seeing this will get it since they are saving money and the price is more fair than it was before.

So, the question is: Will I be getting the full bundle now? Stay Tuned and you will find out.
