Import the game from Europe, and the instruments from the USA.

Just don't get the crappy excuse for a game at all. Stores have to stop ordering the crap in.

this is such a joke, although there would be no way i'd buy it regardless of price, i don't know how they honestly justify this sort of pricing.

Hell it's stuff like that on a lower level that has stopped me from buying a Wii so far and invested more into my DS and older GC games. The Wii itself here in NZ is readily available, but I just don't want to deal with this on the local level. I will wait for an American Wii at a reasonable price.

Motherfuckers
Yeah, I love how the video game industry is oblivious to the exchange rate. ITS ALMOST AT PARITY PEOPLE!
EDIT: I should dig up the thread where I predicted $300+ price for Rock Band (gold star if someone else does, I'm sure it contains profanity as well). I love being right, but this time I wish I wasn't.

bfs: I believe the official quote from The Castle is "Tell 'im he's dreaming" but I don't think the movie is well-known over there...
Yes, that is one quote regarding the jousting sticks etc, but the 'tell em to get stuffed' quote occurs when Darryl is talking to Dennis in relation to the house acquisition. Your quote is probably more relevant to this situation. ;)
