If they open at 3AM, it's not worth it.

Amazon had some great deals last year, and if memory serves their sales began at 3AM too. I'll stick with them instead.

If you plan on cashing in on this deal, you need to start training immediately if you hope to conquer the crazy black friday shoppers.

These women shoppers will sacrifice their own kids for 10% off. Im not joking, bitches be crazy. #blackfriday

@Bii Nii Wii Nii: Also, body armor or padding can't hurt - it helps to reduce the impact of being trampled. #blackfriday

Hmm, is Old Navy typically a madhouse on Black Friday? I wouldn't figure they are (clothes shopping on Black Friday?), but I could be wrong. There's an Old Navy down the road where I work, I figure I could go buy a new pair of pants and snag a free game, but I won't bother if it's going to be a pain to shop there. #blackfriday

Too bad my wife bought it this week, I guess I could always send her to get a copy and then trade it in towards a different game.

What I do not see though, is which system this is for. Ad does not mention. #blackfriday

@LAGamer: If you do manage to pick up the game, maybe try to return the new copy with the old receipt. I do that all the time. #blackfriday

@LAGamer: On the ad, it is written that "your preferred platform may not be available." I take that to mean that at the very least, the 360 and PS3 versions will be offered (and probably Wii, since it has the same MSRP).

I'd actually prefer the DS version, which has gotten some good press. No plastic peripherals! But its MSRP is $20 lower. Who knows. #blackfriday

@NeVeRMoRe666: I have done that as well, Toys 'r us for B2G1, just looked at my receipt and it says 30 days to do a return. So it might be totally worth getting up at that time to save $50. Well $30 after I buy something for $20. #blackfriday

Too bad there isn't a Old Navy at the mall 2 miles from my house. Closest one is 6-7 miles away with horrible traffic. Bit of a drive. :P #blackfriday

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)!

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 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

Sounds good to me! I'll make my way up, but transit from the South Bay is going to involve a couple of transfers....

Why'd you send the swag to Denver?? We need it here! #charity

Yeah they say "prizes" but don't get confused if you didn't go to the last one. It's not prizes for a Rock Band competition, it's prizes for a raffle. Now obviously, since its for charity, this part I wouldn't mind, but if you wanna play on the rock band "main stage" you gotta play for that too. So, don't make the mistake we did last year thinking we needed to practice for weeks and bring our "A" game cause that part won't matter. It IS still a fun experience though. #charity

@Emmanuel Menjivar: We do hope you bring your "A" game in performing your song!

We're trying to make an inclusive experience with the event. That means we're stressing on performing to a crowd, rather than getting a score. It's about rocking out and having a great time! #charity

@Seg: Hey, we did it last year (our picture's even on your site yo) and we'll do it again this year. I just don't want people to to get the wrong idea. the new main stage idea is great though.

@Emmanuel Menjivar: We can't do the raffle as it's illegal (next year we hope to fix this), so the main stage was a way to get some 'high end' donations in.

DNA also has the Lounge room for no-fuss Rock Band play; free to play.
