I didnt think people could possibly be any dumber after the early Bioshock release but alas they are. To get Rock Band three weeks early they are paying over $400 as of now. The best part it doesnt even come with the full game

[KingofOldSchool]

Some people fight just to eat every day and then you have some moron paying $400 just to play a game, a demo mind you, a couple of weeks before the game comes out.

This World is a fucked up place.

[dastly75]

That cat better come with it

[Ryukahn]

Still not as bad as Tickle Me Elmo dolls that went for absolutely insane prices back in the day around Christmas time.

Yeah but at least that was the full product.

[Wolve11]

been following this one and it is $760 now........

[PenguinoMF]

How many songs does this demo consist of?

[magiic]

not $760+ worth of them

[Ryukahn]

Now it's getting worse than Tickle Me Elmo ;)

No...not yet, when mothers start camping their kids out in crowded parking lots and throwing them over the heads of others while babies are crying wetting their diapers and store employess are being torn limb from limb by soccer moms and Stay at home dads, when the smell of plastic and blood is in the air and ground you walk upon is littered with the broken corpses of ken and barbie dolls...Then you will know when the horror has struck...i know.....i was there...i saw....terrible things....

[Ryukahn]

I was there too. I'm talking from a strictly ebay perspective. The most I recall Tickle Me Elmo selling for was like $750 or so, though I do seem to recall one that was auctioned off for charity selling for like $2000. Could be wrong!

[SpazX]

holy shit I need to get one of those to auction, stupidity is so easy to profit from

[DarkNessBear]

Damn, I want to get one of those demo boxes. I'd pay around 50-100 dollars for it. There is no point going over 200...

Does it come with everything?

[slickkill77]

Yes except all the songs

[Logain8955]

doesn't include kick pedal for the drum set, and only 15 songs

I'll eat my hat if it sells at that price. (meaning the transaction actually takes place).

Better look for recipes on foodnetwrk.com I would pay $800 to actually see you eat your own hat. Then again, I imagine you as your avatar and would be dissapointed if it wasn't actually what you look like.

For $800, I will eat a bowler hat. For $50 more, you can include the feather.

Myke has an extensive collection of pimp hats, in a wide variety of purples, and all having a different animal print band.

[REL1203]

This World is a fucked up place.

But worth fighting for!

[xGunCrazyx]

how did people get these demo boxes anyways?

[HighlightShow]

Wow, $760...

[fraggedbylaggers]

At least 10% is going to charity. If I were to do something like that I would probably give 50% for a charity...

Sucks too because they had one sitting out in Branford, CT (10 minutes away from me) for apparently hours... I knew about it but had just gotten surgery and didnt really feel well enough to drive out...

[KingofOldSchool]

But worth fighting for!

No, not really.

[johnnypark]

I love how the listing says "Special Edition." Since when does Special Edition mean "incomplete game which is missing part of the hardware" (ie part of the drums)??

Definitely worth 4 times the MSRP of the actual, COMPLETE product. Totally.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

I'll eat my hat if it sells at that price. (meaning the transaction actually takes place).
:toxx:

But in all seriousness, how fucking stupid are people to pay that much for a DEMO?

[slickkill77]

BB accidently sold it to him i think

[asianxcore]

I love how the listing says "Special Edition."

Oddly enough the Rock Band bundle is listed in EB/Gamestop's pre-order system as "Special Edition"

I knew it your avatars shop at the same store dont they.

[Strell]

I knew it your avatars shop at the same store dont they.

Oh yes.

We refer each other, which helps save a whole 16%.

Why 16%?

Because 61% would be WAY too much!

[ddrlenz]

So is this the hot item this year?

[Agrippan]

Since someboday already mentioned it, and this thread is already ridiculous: Strell, is your avatar from anything I might have seen? It looks vaguely familiar and has been bothering me for a while.

Hehe. It never ceases to amaze me how this question pops up every few months.

It's from the Mario Kart DS Japanese commercials. They were done by the Japanese comedy group 99. It was a series of commercials labeled as "Hot Mario."

Here's the one where Mario is shown in different countries in very stereotypical garb for each region:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0LfLk9lLEg

Some other CAGs had them for a while. I think they were: The Dord, Z-Saber, Whiteninja, and Reality's Fringe (who might still have his). At some point all four Marios were avatars, and someone had Luigi as well.

I knew your avatar was from the commercial, but I never actually seen it. The US player was the funniest. "Oh no. Come on!"
I ROFLed.

[Dingleberry]

$2,025.00

wow....just stupid

[Wolve11]

It just sold for $2,025. I really doubt anyone is actually crazy enough to pay that much for a demo.

[gamegirl79]

People have more money than sense.

[KingofOldSchool]

It's even crazier to think that whoever won this would still have to buy the actual full game on top of it.

He is basically paying $2,000 for something he can walk into Best Buy and play.

That is of course if the person is really going to pay for it.

[SNKMat]

wow mcphail

[mykevermin]

*phew*

Now I won't have to find recipes for "hat" after all.

[DarkNessBear]

Is it lame that me and my friends already have a name for our RB band?

[jkanownik]

Yes.

[DarkNessBear]

Yes.

FUCK!!!!!

[mvp828]

FUCK!!!!!

But that is a sweet name...

But I also love how the forums don't edit the F-bomb when it is written in Caps.

[DarkNessBear]

Haha, I just figured that out.

But, we do have a sweet Band Name, i'd say it but I don't know if band names can be taken.

[joe2187]

I was in a band once, we were called "Drunk,Broke, and Horny"...It was a one man band and we had a falling out...good times man.

Did I mention I work for VH-1, I would like to do the next Behind the Music with all one band member, that possible?

I dont know man, The band and i never got along. Things never really got off the ground. for one thing i found out the bass player was sleeping with my girlfriend while the drummer did her from behind, needless to say i was pissed off, every session we had ended in us fighting eachother about who should lead, neither of us got a word in and. It was later i found out the guy i hired to play the keyboard was sleeping with my 14 year old cousin and i beat him into a coma,...dont remember much after that.

I lost contact with the band after our last jam session, it was a great one, the lead guitar had a solo that lasted 17 hours...singing something about a tub of kY jelly and an old tube sock he once dated. For now or one man band has broken up, Drunk (the drummer) went to rehab, Broke (Bass player) got a job as a Chip N Dale Dancer, and all thats left is me...Horny

[Apossum]

I smell a movie... Fight Club watch out.

But no seriously, could you imagine a movie like this. It would be funny as hell.

[SpecTrE3353]

If you die while eating your hat, can I have your stuff???

[Wolve11]
