This is gonna come down to how much Actibliz can advertise this game to make you want it vs how much you are willing to pay for it when you find out the price.

I'm gonna guess $130 for their specialty balance board and game.

$119.99 in the US, £99.99 (roughly 170 when converted to USD) in UK. Price rape.

That is ridiculously expensive. But if Guitar Hero can get away with it...

Activision took what they knew LAST-last gen (Tony Haork), and took what they know this gen (Plastic Music), and ran it through the SLAP CHOP.

I just want to see how huge the non-liability documentation is going to be for this game.
