That better be one reallll nice microphone stand. In order to afford the $250 bundle, I'd have take a cue from the classic Beatles song and work "8 Days Per Week"

Crazy price... but it will sell... I don't wanna be the guy to own all those plastic instruments, but I'd LOVE to play the game. I just gotta convince one of my sucker friends to get it hahahah

For $250, you think you'd get more than one guitar, which is a bass guitar on top of that.

So you're paying an extra 60 fucking dollars for a mic stand? If the normal Rock Band special addition was 190, why the hell would you have to pay 250 for the same thing but with a mic stand and some Beatles memorabilia?!

You don't HAVE to pay it... you can use your other RockBand instruments if you want to. If you haven't noticed, Beatles albums from the 60s are still selling at a higher price than most of the new stuff coming out. It's the Beatles man, and if you want a fake plastic Hofner bass, you have to pay big bucks. And the Beatles all played instruments, so they had to have a mic stand because their hands were busy creating amazing music.

hahahhhhahahah okay the Beatles are not overrated. Now the Beatles: Rock Band? Yes, that may absolutely be overrated. But saying the most influential rock band in the world, who basically wrote the song structure to every song you listen to today is overrated? It's just plain nonsense. Throw away your dusty copy of Beatles 1 Greatest Hits, and check out Help!, Rubber Soul & Revolver and tell me you think the Beatles are still overrated...
