I'm not judging, but I think that the target demographic for a Mario product is different than that of Rock Band. I bet that they were thinking an enforced bed-time might be an obstacle that would decrease numbers.

I love Mario games, don't get me wrong. I'm a video game fanboy. I'm also a realist.

I'm shocked too. Rock band? Sure as hell doesn't look interesting at all to me.

My first thought as well. Its very likely that this will outsell Mario this week, and downright impossible that it'll sell more over its lifetime.

Of course not a store in the Live Music Capitol of The World. Where's the Austin love?

You guys aren't that far from Dallas, right?

I know here (Houston) might be too far off, but I guess that depends on how badly you want this game.

And yeah, Austin should have totally had a midnight launch. An epic launch, at that!

that's the first thing i thought of too. if not for the live musical capital-ness of it all, then i'd at least wonder why they would skip out on one of the largest schools in the nation. hook 'em!

What about people who want Rock Band but also have a job?

Does this mean the stores with midnight launches will be sold out during normal business hours later in the day? Bummer.

You've had six months to place a pre-order.

If you live in Europe, that's how you can't be excited.

The fact that I'm seriously considering the ten-hour round trip drive from Eugene to Bellevue suggests things about my character that I'm not quite comfortable confronting.

Seriously this game is going to make everyone I know drop out of classes, break up with their boy/girlfriends, stop giving a shit about cutting their hair and spend the next couple years rocking the fuck out.

Its a midnight launch people. If you DON"T live there, just go to your local store 10 hours later and pick it up without the hassle.

Seriously.

I predict this will be a flop of an event. Seriously, is there THAT much excitement for this game? It's not a console launch or Halo or Zelda, so...no.

If this game isn't making you piss yourself on regular intervals in brutal anticipation, you aren't a real person.

The hype machine behind this game is a disgustingly huge juggernaut fueled by MTV Networks. There was even a VH1 special on it. They're doing their damnedest to make this game sell through the roof.

As well they should - it's pretty much consensus now that Neversoft fucked up most good things about Guitar Hero with the third iteration, so we're due for a kickass rhythm game. And I'm one of the people who wanted both games to succeed and be good. :(

I'm not excited.

Maybe it's the fact you play with toy instruments while being told this is "rocking" - I could rent a dozen games for a long time or buy some toy instruments?

Easy choice.

Why all the haters? If it doesn't interest you, don't go!

I would go if I didn't already have it pre-ordered somewhere else :(
