Rock Band 3 is the best music game ever made.
I was very excited when it was released, especially for the pro mode, with the new keyboard and the possibility to play with a real guitar (Fender Squier to be released in march).
$49 for the game only, at JB Hifi not a bad price (price valid both online and in store). I bought the XBox 360 version by price matching at EB Games as I had some store credit.
But the best is to come.
Starting with Band Hero and Rock Band 2, you can import tracks from other Band games you owned.
I't possible on Rock Band 3 too. However, on XBox 360, the process differs a little bit as you can import Rock Band 2 tracks (in fact re-download them), but you don't even have to insert Rock Band 2 so you just need the code that came with Rock Band 2 (you start the import from Rock Band 3).
If you have "lost" that code, you can contact EA Support http://support.ea.com/ and they'll be happy to give you a new one. You still need to "buy" the export download which is 800 points (approx $12.5).
That's what I did… I didn't even have Rock Band 2 which was not released downunder… contacted EA Support and got a key, paid the 800 points and now, for $49 + $12.5, got Rock Band 3 with 153 songs.
Haa, you can combine with the Games Plus $10 offer http://gamesplus.com.au/ to get a 1500 points card for $14.5, which will bring the cost of exporting Rock Band 2 tracks down to $7.5
lol you are still excited from the looks of it.
