Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

If I were you, on the 19th of November I would get in line outside of your favorite retailer," Riccitiello told investors. "We've got a lot of inventory coming, and my expectation is it will sell through.

......

Riccitiello said unless you pre-order Rock Band or get in line on launch day, "unless you have a buddy that works at one of our retailers you're not gonna have it at Christmas."

Anybody really care? Seems like the more and more I read about this game, the less I care about it.

I would kill exactly three people to have this game before Christmas.

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

Then who would your fellow band members.

Playing solo is better than not playing at all.

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

Why not just start up a band? This whole idea seems silly to me.

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

I can play this game for five minutes. I couldn't even get to practice in five minutes. Oh and I've played guitar for months upon months, drums for two years, clarinet for five and I'm still so musically disinclined.

Rock Band slowly has lost all my interest to where I won't mind not getting it for a while.

But then you'd have to learn how to play instruments for real.

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

To me, that would be more worthwhile in the long run than buying expensive equipment that you and your friends will only dabble with for a month.

[Caciss]

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

Well, real insturments are quite a bit more expensive.

[Denmo]

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

Like I said, more worthwhile in the long run. Do not doubt the length of this run.

That's why we have Content Download to help extend a game's life.

I'm confused. Isn't that a pro-Rock Band argument? Because I spent $400 on my guitar and I'm not seeing that bundle.

Re: Rock Band to be scarce this holiday.

Real instrument = unlimited amounts of untapped potential.

Rock Band = Finite amount of untapped potential.

It's like buying RPG Maker when you could learn a programming language and make something completely new, y'know?

Granted one requires more effort...


I'm not saying don't buy Rock Band... I'm just saying I won't buy it because I think it's silly.
