Rock Band dev defends price (again)
They're not really getting the message, are they?
Harmonix design director Rob Kay has once again had to defend the huge discrepancies between the US and UK prices of Rock Band.
"I don't mean to make excuses," he told Edge, "but there's VAT, prices in the US don't include tax, and things like that."
Kay did offer a cheap-alternative to spending nearly £200 on a videogame: "We wanted to give people a choice, though. Splash £50 on the game and use any USB microphone to sing."
So there's your answer, folks. You only need spend £50 on the game, as you can plug any old microphone in and... sing.
Maybe it's just us, but we don't think the microphone is necessarily the main appeal of Rock Band.
ebbene ecco svelato l'arcano...ora andrò a comprare il gioco ed userò il mio microfono che tengo custodito in soffitta, e ovviamente quando vorrò giocare con qualcun'altro, gli dirò di portare il suo fidato microfono usb...se la cosa è applicabile anche alla chitarra e batteria allora siamo a cavallo \o/
