Yep, here we go again. Of course, where's the value of "playing along" for a few more dollars than buying the song off iTunes? Then again, ultimately, this is the same greedy corporation that took the Blu-Ray paycheck. (Yeah I know, music, movies, entertainment divisions, but still all the same pigs in the end.)

It will only work if enough people buy it at the newly inflated price,if demand makes a significant drop so will price,however i don't see what the increase is going to be,so it would seem a few are jump'n the gun so i might as well join in too,my guess there will be an increase by a few cents,then again what's everyone complain'n about when was the last time any of you bought any music....thought as much ..nough said
:p

This will make or break my decision to buy Rock Band. I will hold off and wait. I will not buy it if the price increases for downloadable packs. Just on principle.
