Xbox 360 version is 165$

You might wanna add PS3 to the title just to make it more clear.

actually both the 360 and ps3 versions are $150 now

http://www.amazon.co...ck band&x=0&y=0

it's the ps2 version that's higher which is weird...btw it's at $156

edit: no wonder it's at a premium for ps2, it's the system's top selling game on amazon

IS Special Edition the one where they fixed the drum breakage issue?

cool thanks op. I ordered this from Amazon about 2 weeks ago and called in for the easy $20 refund (Amazon customer service: 1-800-201-7575 and hit 7)

No. Its just the bundle. And yes, I realize you were probably just being sarcastic, but its free to RMA the drums so its not a HUGE issue. But I agree is does suck (I just RMA'd my cracked drum pedal and Strat this week.)

Awesome. It's just shy of 30 days since my order, so I'm still within the window.

Seems like a great price, but I'm debating if I'll be able to find it cheaper anywhere before my 360 gets sent back from repair.

As tempting as that sounds and with my $25 GC, I'll past and just wait to get the drums and game seperately through youfree360games.com

Thanks, got a price adjustment and the CR gave me an extra $5 because I don't think she's too good at math.

What happened with the PS3 version was that warehouse deals had a listing for $149.40 first. It then disappeared, but Amazon themselves dropped their price to $149.99. Now that's gone.

Warehouse deals still has a listing for the 360 version at $149.40. It's a subsidiary of Amazon, so it's free shipping and eligible for Prime. It's listed as open box blah blah, but I bought a PS3 that had a similar description from them and it came new basically.

Costco has the same price, but with tax. Meh -_-V Im surprised that amazon allows free shipping with this lol

The most important question to ask is if I can kill someone with the Batrang


Just call my local bestbuy and they had no clue about a sale..

yeah looks like it's over but strangely, J&R is selling the 360 box for $150. Too bad they charge $25 shipping, effectively killing their "deal"

The box has minor damage, according to their description. My PS3 was also described as open box with damage to the outer box. Basically the box showed some wear, but the stuff inside was new. And my guess is that the batteries are just some standard ones that you can use for the guitar (I think).
