Crazy Cheap Rock Band Deals

burst.jpg

Frugal yet rockin'? RockBand79.com offers a pretty wicked deal: the Rock Band Special Edition Bundle for either Xbox 360 or PS3 (Rock Band, mic, guitar & drum), plus Rock Band 2, plus the AC/DC Track Pack. All for $79, shaving off $110 and adding an entire game and track pack.

You can find the bundle itself on Amazon, used, for less than $60, and you can buy it new from Wal-Mart for just under $100, but neither of those options gives you both Rock Band games, let alone Angus Young.

So if you're not up for the pricey $249.99 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle, or the still-pricey $159.99 "Special Value Edition," RockBand79 appears to provide you a great way to practice as much Rock Bandage as possible before Paul, John, George & Ringo drop on 9/9/09.

Check out the FAQ for more, or make the jump to keep it local.
