$169.99 bundle will be only way to buy Rock Band this year reason is high cost of shipping what would be 4 bundles. DLC can buy an album, or 1/2 tracks separately. Possible promos like buy 2 songs & get 1 cheaper/free. DLC 1 week after launch with The Who's album & more DLC for every week until the end of 2007. If just 1 week after launch, why not include on disc? Will cost more in Canada.

"Rock Band is a great game. The presentation elements are top-notch and take music games to a new level; consider the bar raised. Though there are three separate solo careers, Rock Band is best experienced with a group of friends. [...] Without question, Rock Band is one of the must-have games of the year."
