Play.com To The Rescue (for Rock Band fans)!

Still smarting at the fact that Rock Band is going to cost you an absolute bomb? Well, Play.com, the ever-cheap internet store, might well soften the blow for you. The Rock Band: Band In A Box (Instruments Edition) has a recommended retailer's price of £129.99, however, Play.com have chopped a big old 23% off that price and are offering it to you for £99.99 with free delivery. That's a penny under £100! Awesome! It still comes without the actual game, though, which is going for the rather run-of-the-mill price of £39.99.

Compare this to the fact that Amazon.co.uk have taken a paltry tenner off (8%? Pah!), without free delivery, and you've got yourself a stone-cold bargain if you get it from Play.com (the better option being that you smuggle one in from America).

This might even spark a price-war if Rock Band becomes popular enough. It's pretty much guaranteed that the supermarket chains like ASDA Walmart and Tesco are going to go for another round of price oneupmanship, if that's the case.

But, for now, I know where I'm getting my Band In A Box from. It's cheap(er) and I don't have to cart the fecker home on the bus.

Disclaimer: I don't work for Play.com, nor do I have any sort of affiliation with them, I just think Play.com is awesome. If you don't like it, go buy Guitar Hero Aerosmith, you loser!
