20 or so singles on a disc for $29.99.

It's a good price, but..

...no Metallica

not buying rockband anyway.

great job harmonix...first you screw us out of online play, world tour, and character customization, and now you're forcing us to purchase your songs in packs of 20.

The Wii's version of Rockband doesn't look worth it. Too much to pay for a dumbed-down version of the game. There is another (and much better) game that comes out on July 15th, and I've had it preordered since early February. NCAA Football 09.

Glad they are putting some effort into it, but where is Linkin Park?

This is just a slap in the face to Wii owners...

Pathetic....

Nintendo needs to get off their ass, and tell Whoremonix to put out the FULL version of the game, not a half assed "quick play" version of the game.

I have to agree with you there. I'll be picking NCAA Football up as well.

Rock Band has me intrigued, and the extra 20 songs are a nice touch. But we are already spending $170 or whatever it costs on the special edition. What's another $29.99 eh? I'll pass......for now.
