    Not a bad deal. The game on the disc is nothing special at all (a stripped-down Rock Band 1 with AC/DC songs), but the songs are really good, and this is coming from someone who isn't a huge AC/DC fan.

    That said - I bought a code to download the tracks from some guy on ebay for like 12 bucks a while back, and I don't miss not having the actual disc at all. #gamestop

    Interesting tidbit: do you know why it's the Live at Donington, and why this game is not anything more than a DLC pack on disc?

    It's AC/DC's fault. They always refused to do any Greatest Hits, or sell songs separately. It's as they know: "OK, about a third/an half of each of our albums is filler, there's no way you're not gonna pay for it".

    But for 20 bucks, if you own any regular Rock Band, you should still pick it up. Granted, no Bon Scott on the classics, but Shoot to Thrill! Thunderstruck! Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! TNT! Highway to Hell! The huge-ass version of Let There Be Rock (live)!

    Does this game work with the Guitar Hero controllers?

    Eh, I don't regret picking it up for $39.99 when it first came out one bit. I've been playing it for almost a year now. But they should just release it as DLC (not at the expense of the usual weekly release, though).

    I also got "No Bull" on Blu-Ray recently. Let There Be Rock is FUCKING EPIC from that concert -- Angus Young ends up on a raised platform in the middle of the crowd for a solo, then runs back and forth across the huge stage playing back-and-forth with the crowd. Amazing. #gamestop

    @Strangelove: I recorded it from HDnet and it's still on my DVR. It really is a great concert. It still doesn't really benefit from HD, but whatev.

    Also I'll be getting this pack now. I was going to before but it was always a bit too expensive and I don't really like the vocals of AC/DC live. For 20 I'll get it though. #gamestop

    @Manuel Calavera, Reaper Supreme:

    You're right, it's grainy as all hell. But it does come with 5.1 HD sound, so the Blu-Ray is worth checking out, regardless. #gamestop

    Lot of good tunes on this disc for those who haven't gotten it yet, but I'd still like to see them put out a more Bon Scott-centric release. "Let There Be Rock" is a great song, but my little plastic guitar needs more Bon than that. #gamestop

    @Communist Pope: I have been holding out myself for quite some time now. I couldn't justify paying $40 for 18 tracks. Even if it was by the gods of rock themselves. At least now it's at a more fair price point. Let there be rock... let there be rock indeed. #gamestop

    I've seen it at the Best Buy here (Canada) for 15$ new a few weeks back(PS3/360 versions, Wii version is 20$...). #gamestop

    I've seen this already at Fry's Electronics for $30 a few weeks back... not sure when they got it in, though. I know they're not as widespread as GameStop or Walmart, so this is pretty good news. Especially for that price. #gamestop
