Confirmed for Black Friday: Old Navy giving Lego Rock Band with $20 clothing purchase

That's just who Joystiq contacted. I'm sure you could put your crying to better use and call your local store.

No, those are the only stores they contacted for confirmation.

I can confirm that Ontario, Canada Old Navys will be doing it as well seeing as my best friend who works there now has a Rock Band tee to wear for the day.

yea, It's happening here in Ontario just like the above poster said. Apparently each store will only be getting something like 15 copies, and as far as I know, none of them are for Wii :/

Yorkdale Shopping Centre Old Navy has 360, Wii and PS3 confirmed. Not sure how many of each though.

so its like a doorbuster deal.

in case no one knew: www.blackfri.info

"Supplies are very limited. Your preferred platform (Xbox 360, Wii, PS3) may not be available. Prior to store opening on Friday November 27, customers will form a line outside the store, and a store associate(s) will pass out one wristband per person, starting with the front of the line. There are a limited number of wristbands which will be distributed on a first come first served basis and Old Navy can not guarantee that all customers in line will receive a wristband. Wristbands correspond to console platforms (Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3), so customers must choose their preferred console from the available wristbands. Old Navy cannot guarantee that your preferred console platform will be available. Limit one wristband per customer age 16 or older, while supplies last. Subject to availability, wristbands are good for one Lego Rock Band game in the platform listed on the wristband (Xbox 360, Wii, or PS3) with a qualifying purchase of $20 or more, and must be surrendered after purchase. Store hours may vary by location. Check your local store for details. Limit one Rock Band per person, family or household. No rainchecks."

An Old Navy store manager posting at CAG said that his store has 20 copies - I don't know if he meant 20 per platform or 20 total, but one can only hope he meant per platform. Ha.

So who wants to keep me company in the Brentwood/Franklin, TN area? :)

Dude, you don't wanna get up that early for a game that's basically a licensed cash-in that's undeserving of the Rock Band moniker. Just wait a little while and you'll be able to find it for $20 everywhere.

But I need more pants.

I just read that reply in my head in the most hilarious, tragically depressing voice.

Figured you might :)

If nothing else, I derive an unusual satisfaction from the long waits in the cold that Black Friday is notorious for. There may be something wrong with me.

But I really do need more pants, and nothing else ever motivates me to buy them. "Pants" is kind of a funny word, now that I think about it.

Pants

This is a time where I'm glad I own a PS3... since most people will probably want the Wii/360 versions, I should be ok. :)

Old Navy gave away wristbands last year when they gave away Samsung Pebbles (MP3 players). The first 50 in line (I was the last one) got wrist bands and could shop at their leisure and pick up their mp3 player. I'll bet they do it again this way this year.

so this means that PS3 owners have the best chance of getting one right? cool i guess.

that is, assuming they have equal amounts of copies for each console.

Yes, you are a ''moran''. lol ;)

Yes

that's horrifying

I don't have a link on me, but I read that the sales for Lego Rock Band weren't entirely bad. I believe something around 60,000 across all consoles in its first week or so. I think thats pretty decent for a budget family title. Don't quote me on those numbers though.

And risking your life.

I was thinking the same thing, although this time around, they'll probably be parents getting the game for their kids for Xmas, so you probably won't see the ebay influx until about...(checks LRB metareview) December 27th.

you stay out of Griffin McElroy's toilet!

What a drama queen! It is a store, not the plague.

...cure cancer? I got nothin.

Knowing what I know now, I would have purchased this game for full price when it was released. It was a steal at $9.99 but at $5, you have no excuse for not atleast trying it.

Now THAT'S a "extremely limited" stock. Only 5 copies.

I had the same response when I called my local ON. A total of 75 copies will be handed out to the first 75 people in line who get a wrist band.
