"Rock Band Stage Kit" Announced and Hilarious
Do you have a copy of "Rock Band" yet? Here's an idea of what watching the game played looks like.
That one was chosen at random. Trust me, there are probably thousands of videos of people playing "Rock Band."
So in addition to the $170 consumers dished out for the game and the instruments included, they're now going to be introduced to the "Rock Band Stage Kit." What is it? Nothing short of completely unnecessary.
According to some leaked information via GameStop, the stage kit peripheral will include an "Interactive Light and Smoke Stage Show."
OK, I understand maybe releasing a mic stand or a better guitar, but lights and smoke? Ah yes, because there's nothing better than a bunch of flashing lights and smoke enshrouding the room while you try desperately to look at the TV. Plus, anybody watching this should be struck by the sheer sadness of the event.
It's a less-then-impressive way to hype an already impressive game, and I think developers should be focusing on new games, downloadable content, and better controllers for "Rock Band" rather than this unnecessary peripheral. For shame.
The kit is currently priced at $99.99 and will be released on June 23.
