Rock Band – kinda.
So Saturday morning things got a bit exciting – Grant rang me from Hervey Norman in Belrose letting me know that the Rock Band Instrument Pack was on sale for $150. It had the drums and guitar and mic! It’s different to Guitar Hero that I wanted the drums for… but just different songs, and slightly different game.
Debbie was ok with me buying it, and so during the afternoon we headed out to Belrose for me to pick it up. And later on in the afternoon, I unpacked the box. And as I unpacked things, I realised that I was yet to find the game disc. And once the box was emptied, there was no game disc anywhere. And it was at this point that I noticed the label on the front of the box saying “Game Disc Not Included.”
Whoops.
I did some hunting around game shops in Hornsby, but was hearing from all of them that the game had been discontinued for Wii. Not the instruments, just the game. [Further research tonight has shown that that's probably because Rock Band 2 is due out here soon.]
But eBay comes to the rescue… and I picked it up there for $22! Should have it in my hands ready to make use of my new drum kit on Wednesday. And then I’ll be able to enjoy more songs. And convince Debbie that I want to buy Rock Band 2, and Rock Band Unplugged, and all the other Rock Band titles. :)
Glad to see I haven’t lost my teenage gamer nerdiness.
