Rock Band for $60 inc instruments
BestBuy.com has put up pre-order listings for the PS3 versions of Rock Band . That doesn't sound like a big deal until you hear about the price each version is listed at: $59.99. That's a lot less than the $300 that was getting thrown around a while back.
I know what you're thinking: This deal is probably just for the game disc, without the special controllers needed to make it work. Not the case the product features clearly state that "included drum, guitar and microphone peripherals enable players to perform music together." Even if Best Buy realizes their mistake and raises the price, their pre-order FAQ states "you will always receive the lower of the two prices."
I can't guarantee that Best Buy will actually honor this great deal when the game comes out in November, but it seems to me like they might have to. I strongly recommend putting in the order now, printing out the applicable product features description and receipt, and arguing your case when it comes time for the in-store pick up.
Good Luck

Well I hope you all got your orders in as the pre-order has now been taken off the site. Anyone who did get a pre-order in, lucky you, it should still be valid!
The full price according to Amazon will be $199.

Best Buy always makes mistakes. Buy it now then sell it on Ebay for $90. 50% gain.
