Now, I’m a sucker for a good deal, Rock Band or otherwise, but let’s slow down a little bit here, people. On Black Friday, Wal-Mart was selling the original Rock Band bundle for $50. That’s a pretty good deal, but still not good enough to coax me out of a nice slumber and into the cold Midwest weather. That and I already own 4 different bundles for 2 consoles. But check out this scene someone was able to record of the melee that ensued once the masses were unleashed upon the Rock Band goodness. And… GO!

FYI, if any of these people asked me nicely, I would have given them my older Rock Band instruments.

Old Navy is the place to be next week for all your Rock Band needs!  The FREE Lego Rock Band deal was confirmed this morning on their promotional website: Gobblepalooza.com (oh, I get it…).  I’ve included the official details below on helping you score a free copy, too.

But in addition to the Lego Rock Band deal, it also appears that select stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day.  And these stores will have Rock Band setup for you and your family to come down and play!  That could be pretty fun… if you have a cool family, that is.  Not enough incentive to get you down there?  OK.  Old Navy will also be handing out scratch-off game pieces with one grand prize (per store) of a $200 Old Navy gift card, but two out of every seven pieces will have codes for FREE DLC!

I also found this as an interesting note in the official rules for the free DLC promotion: “Chance of winning does not increase with skill at Rock Band.“  Dammit!

Official FREE Lego Rock Band details:

Prior to store opening on Friday, November 27th in the US (Saturday, November 28 in Canada excluding Quebec), customers will form a line outside the store, and a store associate(s) will pass out one wristband per person aged 16 or older, starting with the front of the line while supplies last. There are an extremely limited amount of available wristbands per store which will be distributed on a first come first served basis and Old Navy can not quarantee that all customes in line will receive a wristband. Wristbands correspond to console platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii), so customers must choose their preferred console from the available wristbands. Old Navy cannot guarantee that your preferred console platform will be available. Subject to availability, wristbands are good for one Lego Rock Band video game in the platform listed on the wristband (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) with a qualifying purchase of $20 or more, and must be surrendered after purchase. Limit on Lego Rock Band game per person, family or household. Qualifying purchases exclude Gift Cards and applicable taxes. Store hours may vary by location. Check your local store for details. No rainchecks.

After seeing another few good deals this afternoon, I think I’m going to post a permanent page under the menu at the top listing all the currently available Rock Band related deals currently available out there, epsecially as we continue to get closer to Black Friday and the holiday season.

The first I noticed was that the Beatles: Rock Band Value Edition (which includes the Rock Band 1 instruments and the Beatles: Rock Band game) is now marked down $40 to the $99.99 at Amazon.  That’s a great deal, but not something I would recommend to a fan of the franchise.  This would be a must-buy deal for someone that’s a bigger fan of the Beatles and wants to play Rock Band, but doesn’t want to sink a lot of money into playing it.  Although it’s more expensive, I would recommend the $99 Rock Band 2 bundle and the standalone Beatles: Rock Band game instead.

The second comes courtesy of RBDLC.com.  They noted that starting this weekend, it appears that all of the Rock Band track packs (Classic Rock, Country, Metal, etc.) for all the consoles will be marked down to $19.99 at Best Buy.  If you don’t yet have either the Country or Metal track packs, this is a pretty good deal!  This is in edition to the $19.99 Rock Band 2 stand-alone disc and the $99.99 Rock Band 2 bundles that Best Buy also is starting this weekend.

I’ll be posting the Deals page soon, that way I don’t have to continue posting good deals as separate pages here.

I love this.  If the Old Navy bundle deals turn out to be just rumors, then there’s always this deal.  Most of you reading this blog probably already have Rock Band, but may not have the Rock Band 2 instruments.  If you’re looking to replace some older instruments, put this on your Christmas list!  Starting now and through the rest of this year, select retailers (see below) will be selling the Rock Band 2 Special Edition bundle for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for only $99.  This includes the Rock Band 2 guitar (wireless), drums (wireless), microphone, and game.  And if you are looking for a good gift for a good friend… pick this up for them! That way you don’t have to bring your instruments over to their place any more!

• Best Buy
• GameStop
• Wal-Mart
• More will be joining in closer to the holidays (Target, Toys R Us, Fry’s)

I should have posted this earlier in the week, but Xbox 360 owners still have today and tomorrow to get some great deals.  Best Buy is running a promo that if you buy one game at full price, you can get a second of equal or lesser value at 50% off, and also includes free shipping! It’s not only games, but also includes some gear as well.  It appeasr that the promo runs through the end of this Saturday for Xbox 360, and rumor has it that next week PS3 owners should get similar treatement.  Wii the week after, maybe?
