Rock Band Stage Kit: Lights and smoke for $99

by Dustin Burg { Jan 14th 2008 at 9:45AM }

Ever play Rock Band and think to yourself, "self, wouldn't Rock Band be so much more enjoyable if I were to experience the lights and smoke of a real concert?" No? Well, us either, but Harmonix did and that's why they're releasing the Rock Band Stage Kit later this June.

The folks over at Gamestop posted a picture (since removed) and pre-order listing (still up) for the Rock Band Stage Kit which promises an "interactive light and smoke stage show" to rock out to. The Stage Kit has a pre-order release date for June 23rd and will command a premium (deep breath) $99 price tag. Ouch! Will gamers flock to a $99 Rock Band smoke machine and disco ball? Possibly. Although, personally, we'd have to see this Stage Kit in action first. One thing we can say is that our Rock Band parties we hold every Friday night would be much more enjoyable with a strobe or two and some random smoke. Just saying.

Wow, I love playing rockband and all but buying the stage kit would definitely put you in the world biggest geek category. haha

I'll hold off til the "Groupie Kit" comes out!

Three blow up dolls in every box!

lol Wow. This is getting a tad bit ridiculous. I actually heard Harmonix is releasing a tattoo/pierce yourself kit. So you can even look like a Rockstar!

I'll get it only if it gets me some achievements.

zlionsfan @ Jan 14th 2008 10:15AM

I think I'll go ahead and skip the Great White achievement.

wtfmate? @ Jan 14th 2008 11:48AM

yeah, a usb powered tattoo gun!

This is really really freaking cool and ridiculously stupid at the same time. I mean, if it were like $10, I would totally go for it, but for $100, forget it.

This would be cool for Frat houses or bars who have Rock Band nights and competitions and stuff like that though.

I for one am comforted by the news of this new landfill padding material. But the real question is, will this work with Flashbangs and Smoke grenades in Rainbow 6: Vegas?

Boff @ Jan 14th 2008 10:29AM

I'm keeping my cash until they release Rock Band: Tourbus and Rock Band: Class A Drug Supplier.

Ok this is a bit over the top

I just want another freaking guitar for God's sake. I don't have a Guitar Hero Guitar (I can't stand them anyway), so I have to wait 2 more weeks before I can get another Rock Band Guitar.

"Action" made famous by Sweet (cover)

"Last Train to Clarksville" made famous by the Monkees (cover)

"All the Small Things" by Blink 182

Why not post the new DLC for this week which was posted over at RB forums instead of complaining and leading your trolls to free MS points? Oh and Monkees and Blink? FTW
