If you're one of the few people left on this planet whose living room, den and foyer aren't littered with fake plastic instruments, it's time for your induction. EB Games is doing a huge online sale right now for slightly "worn" copies of nearly every peripheral-centric rhythm title to come out of Activision and Harmonix. Act quickly, and you can pick up the PS3 or 360 version of the Rock Band 2 SE Bundle or the PS3 or PS2 version of the Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit plus free 3-day shipping for just $94.99.
You could also pick up the other discounted items -- the original Rock Band bundle, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero Aerosmith -- but the resulting necessary architectural extension of your gaming den might strip the deal of its cost efficiency.

Translation: we have stock that isn't moving.
I doubt there are hidden warehouses in salt mines guards by the 3rd Urth Dwarf Army.

More then likely a couple of pallets of these things fell or something, cause of the damaged boxes.

So you want the game, microphone, guitar, and drums all for less than the retail price of the game itself...
Yeah, have fun with that.

2nd Translation: The run on rhythm games is over so we need to move this shit. Free shipping so expect damaged goods when you receive your package.

Side note. I saw this sale on Slickdeals.net at 6 AM this morning (EST).
Many of the items are out of stock online by now.

I played the set all of a day before losing interest.
But the concensus is that the RB2 drums are superiors to the RB1 set. I can't say much about the guitar. It's plastic.

RB1 stuff will break, it will ALWAYS break eventually.

I agree with the comments about the drums, but the RB1 drums were at least usable.
The RB1 guitar, on the other hand, with its mushy, imprecise strum bar, was a piece of crap and was completely unusable for fast sequences. The RB2 wireless guitar on the other hand, is very good and is my favorite plastic guitar so far.
The RB2 kit is really worth the extra dough.

Anything I'm interested in (RB2 and GH2 for 360) was depleted a while ago. I pondered it for several hours today, but ultimately I decided I'd rather clear off my debt to friends/family.
...which I will probably kick myself for.

3rd Translation: We need room for The Beatles and Guitar Hero 5 super-mega kits (now in new colors; you do need four guitars after all now, right?)

hmmmm, surprised none of this applies to the Wii version of the games (except GHIII but I digress)

Here I am trying to sale off my Limited Edition Rock Band 1 set plus extra guitar. This stuff just takes up too much room. Loved while we played it but now it's an eye sore.

I know it's well after the fact, but I just got hosed on this deal. I jumped on it as soon as it started, I got the RB2 360 bundle while it still said "in stock". Just today, more than a week after the fact, I get a "your order has been canceled" email. I called them and they gave me all sorts of excuses about being out of stock and not having accurate inventory. I call foul. They planned and executed a "blowout sale", they knew exactly how many they had. Regardless, even after talking to managers, I walked away with nothing. They weren't willing to budge or even attempt to make it right. Booo GameStop, boooooo! Shame on them.
