Rock Band Stage Kit boxed in the flesh

by Dustin Burg { Feb 5th 2008 at 11:00AM }

Darkseide just been tipped us off that rather large pre-order boxes of the ever famous (and ridiculously overpriced) Rock Band Stage Kit have been popping up in various game stores the world over. The pics, which can be viewed in their own gallery below, not only further prove that the Stage Kit will add light and smoke effects to your Rock Band fun, but we now have an actual image of what the device will look like. And, to us, it looks like a hybrid between a police spot light and the robot from WALL•E. But that's just us. Take a look over the $99 Rock Band peripheral, weigh the pros and cons and imagine how much cooler your Rock Band sessions would be with a plume of smoke rising from the floor.

Yeah, and for $100 an hour, you can get the rock band crowd. 10 people come over and you can crowd surf. It's way worth it.

Haha, I did see this a week ago when I went to Gamestop, I picked it up and was like What? Who would pay for this?

Stupid idiots who'll buy anything with the Rock Band logo?

Sideshow @ Feb 5th 2008 12:44PM

This is the Xbox 360's version of the Nintendo Powerglove.....Useless, however everyone buys it (because it looks bad@ss) and in the future everyone will be looking for it.....

Get one for Fanboy Towers and tell us if it's any good!!

how about the devs get the instruments working instead of wasting resources on this stuff : /

Ebola @ Feb 5th 2008 1:40PM

Useless!! And I'm with mountain on this one. It is partly EA after all, they'll do anything for a buck.

Obviously a niche peripheral for those *really* into game, or who play it at parties a lot.

It's more than a little wierd, but at the same time a dash of clever and awesome. How often do you see companies that put out an entire peripheral for a surround experience?

And supposedly the device syncs to the lighting and sound effects in game... thats pretty nice attention to detail.
