Rock Band Priced, $169 for kit

Final street price was announced at $169.99 for the kit, which includes wired guitar, drum kit, microphone, and the game. Also included is a USB hub for all this crap to plug into! Not a bad price considering. I dropped a hundred on this yesterday as a pre-order.

Release date is Nov. 22nd I think.

wired controllers!!!! That totally sucks. I have officially been turned off by this game. That's so last generation.

On a side note, not bad price for all that's included. Hopefully the equipment isn't made cheaply and has a solid feel.

I thought the wires would suck also, but already having two wired quitars, whats another couple of wires! Plus the included usb will actually consolidate the wires as I can now extend this to the floor and plug all the instruments into.

They did away with the wireless because it would have made the bundle cost over $200 then no one would buy it.

I can see why they didn't go wireless. I just like the wireless controllers for these systems now, it's just a pain to go back to wires. And when my hometheater is back up, it's a pretty good run for the wires to properly see the TV.

The PS3 version has a wireless guitar too. It's only the 360 bundle that doesn't come with a wireless one.

Microsoft's wireless tech is more expensive to license.

If that went wireless for all instuments and mic's the price would be much higher then $169. I wonder if the other systems have wired drums and mics as well? If they do, then they will all have some wires.

I don't know that it is more expensive, it might just be off limits. When I talked to the Nyko guys about a wireless guitar they were developing for GHII, they had to make a workaround by a converter that plugged into a wired controller because they couldn't access the wireless standards on the 360. Perhaps that's why?
