Amazon has the Rock Band set on sale for $99.99. The set includes the guitar, drums, microphone, USB hub, and game.

Punchjump is reporting that Rock band Wii was in the top five in Amazon charts this week.  Not too surprising, seeing as that the cost is about thirty bucks cheaper than the MSRP.  Gas is averaging over FOUR BUCKS a gallon right now – when people wanna rock, they want to do it at home, after it’s been brought to them.

Rock Band Wii Special Edition at Amazon – as of July 4, it’s $139.99.

• June 23: Rock Band from MTV Games
• June 23: Big Beach Sports from THQ
• June 23: Top Spin 3 from 2K Sports
• June 24: Cocoto Kart Racer from Conspiracy Entertainment
