Not in the slightest, just sick of seeing 50pts. I'll be happy with 250.

It'll take you a looooooong time to go up to 250pts from what I've heard about it.

Force Unleashed on Wii looks cool. You can use the wiimote as a lightsabre. However I'm not sure if is going to be gesture based or not though.

About freaking time!!!

Quote:
Electronic Arts has finally announced a release date for Harmonix’s band simulator in the United Kingdom.

Out on May 23rd, Rock Band will release exclusively on Xbox 360 with Playstation 3, PS2 and Wii versions scheduled for a vague “summer”.

If you’ve been living in a cave, on a mountain or in the big brother house for the past few months, Harmonix left the Guitar Hero franchise to Activision, jumped ship to Electronic Arts and released Rock Band – the natural extension of their talents bringing guitar, vocals and drums into one harmonious explosion of sound.

Rock Band’s selection of tracks is incredible in both quality (in partnership with MTV, Rock Band features mostly original master tracks of the songs) and quantity. Besides the game’s 67 on-disc tracks (9 of which are exclusive to our European version), the number of songs available on Xbox Live (or Playstation Network) is reaching 100.
On May 27th, The Xbox Live will crush under the weight of these 70 downloadable songs being released for Europeans to pick and choose from. After that, European and American owners will receive brand new tracks simultaneously each week. (Songs are 160 MS Points each, £1.36)

Price Information:
In the UK, you won’t be able to buy the complete experience in one box. The instruments will available for £129.99 and the game itself will be sold separately for £49.99 (RRP). Together, this comes to a WHOPPING £180. When your product is more expensive in pounds than the relative dollar price tag ($169.99), you know you’re abusing your British customers.

The best course of action is to go piece meal; pick up the game, find a crappy USB mic, use your Guitar Hero 2 Xplorer Guitar (Wireless Guitar will be sold separately for £59.99) and grab a Drum Kit for £69.99.
Instrument Pack £129.99 / €169.99
Rock Band Game £49.99 / €69.99
Wireless Guitar £59.99 / €79.99
Drum Kit £69.99 / €89.99
Individual Songs 160 MS Points / £1.36
Three Song Pack 440 MS Points / £3.74
Six Song Pack 800 MS Points / £6.80

It’s been a painful four months, but with a concrete release date set we can sleep a little easier at night. Make sure you post which downloadable songs you’ll be picking up, in the comments.

Update: There has been a nasty rumour circulating that we will receive songs for double the price that Americans pay. Songs are 160 points in both regions, but some song packs are introduced at 80 points and raised to 160 after a few days. There is no news on whether a similar price system will be used in the UK store.
From http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=365

I guessed we'd pay around £160 for the lot, so £180 isn't *that* far off. I reckon places like Gameplay will sell the game and instruments for a slightly lower price anyway. Definitely getting this though, I'll be pre-ordering as soon as I can from Gameplay, then possibly taking the week off

If I knew Play would deliver it in time I'd order it, but I've known them to be very late in the past. I'll wait to see what prices places like Gameplay have before deciding where I'll get it from. Hopefully they'll price it fairly competitively

I know they used to be pretty slow on delivery times but the last few times I've bought anything from there, it's been quite nippy.
Thought I'd suggest it anyhow as it's a fair whack cheaper than rrp
