They just released the prices for Rock Band in Europe, we should pay like 249 Euro for the special edition kit. That's like 379 Dollar. Just compare that to the price on Amazon.com.

EA actually seems like they're trying to be less ridiculous lately... of course I don't want to give them too much credit for backing down from idea that shouldn't have been put forth to begin with. I'm starting to wonder if this constant cash grab is helping the Wii. The average consumer probably doesn't understand how outdated it is, but they understand that it doesn't break or cost too much, and once you buy a game, you own all of the content that goes along with it. This whole DLC trend that Microsoft has started is not good at all.

Let's face it, though - this practice has been going on with 360 DLC since launch - much of their so-called DLC is simply a small download of around 100kB which unlocks content already on the game disc.
