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.

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!

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?

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

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

@J
Yo man they pick and choose what to post here.
If there is news thats important then you'll be sure to get it here, however, the majority of everything else is little more than a bunch of Halo spam.

Are we sure this is a Harmonix backed product? I'm guessing that it would say that somewhere if it did. That this point I think that only that PDP company's name is associated with it.

I already need roadies if I want to take my setup anywhere else. I'll need to buy an actual van if I buy this thing.
