Someone needs to tell the good folks at EA how currency converting works. The Rock Band bundle, which comes with the game, drums, guitars and mic, retails for $180 in the States. It was today announced that it will go on sale on May 23rd in the UK with a bundle consisting of the drums, mic and guitar for £130. The game will be available seperately for £50. Firstly, why the fuck would someone buy all the instruments but not the game? And secondly, since when did $180 equal £180? Oh, it doesn’t. £180 equals $320. Now I know the EU normally pays more than the US on stuff like this, but paying double? Not on. I really hope the internet gets up in arms about this because it reeks of EA pulling their usual bullshit.
