For those who've already picked up the game and are just in the market for the drum set, the normally $80 peripheral is currently $54 on Xbox 360 and $69 for PS3. Feel free to use the money saved on some Rock Band DLC.

Wait, could there BE joystiq readers that don't have this game yet?
INCONCEIVABLE!!!

Not inconceivable actually, it isn't out in Europe.

Some of us play real instruments, ya know, and who prefer to keep it that way.

Still using the real instrument argument? Let it go already. You know, I play baseball in real life, but it doesn't stop me from buying MLB The Show. Both are fun and great for socializing...unless you're not into that sort of thing.

Europe doesn't have the internet yet...

I don't have this game yet. I've played it, and it's alright I guess. I never really dreamt of growing up and being a rock star when I was little, though. That, and it's not really my taste in music. Add on the price tag, and voilá, you have a Joystiq reader that doesn't own Rock Band.

No room in my apartment for all the stuff to sit around...

Doesn't beat the deal I got. Some kid was going to trade his in to the GameStop where I work, so rather than letting him do that, I gave him $80 for the complete set and an extra guitar.
DCBlack @ Mar 26th 2008 4:45AM
Damn that is a great deal. I know it's Gamestop we're talking about, but would they have really offered him less than $80 for all that?
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Mar 26th 2008 4:53AM
GameStop doesn't take drum trade-ins for whatever reason. He would have gotten: $13 for the game disc, $20 per guitar, and like $5 for the mic.

I'm from Australia ;________________;
According to the rest of the world, I'm redundant, so I don't have rock band yet.
You hurted my feelings.

THAT WAS A REPLY FOR bearxor!!! >=(
It shows Joystiq also hates Australians

We don't hate Aussies: we only like the women.

I bought mine day one, so I'm not at all upset about it dropping this low now. If anything, the difference could be the rental fee or something.
Chairman7 @ Mar 26th 2008 4:59AM
Here is an idea don't cut the price - just release the game for full price in all Xbox360 and PS3 regions!!!
MarkHawk @ Mar 26th 2008 5:24AM
Anyone not getting the drums for 54 dollars? I mean it says 69.99 when I searched for it.
Also it's worth noting Amazon is offering the 360 version for 39.95 dollars new!
BIGGEN @ Mar 26th 2008 6:01AM
FIGURES! bought mine yesterday at 10% off. so i still paid like $162 after tax. anyway, if anyone needs a singer it's biggen1103 on LIVE.
nikibot @ Mar 26th 2008 9:18AM
Same as MakrHawk... can't find the Xbox360 drums for 54 dollars!! Can you guys give the link?
Sinistar @ Mar 26th 2008 10:54AM
Look to Wal-Mart.com for the $54 drums. If you're willing to wait, have them shipped Site-to-Store for free. You'll end up paying tax, though.
