Board 8 > Dropmix down to $50 at walmart

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.walmart.com/ip/DropMix-Music-Gaming-System/55825560

I saw a topic here for it at $60 on Black Friday, but now it's $10 even off that

$100 normally

Think I'm definitely jumping on it this time

Just looked into what this is. Seems pretty awesome.

Never heard of it before...sounds neat. I see it says 16 and up, so I'm trying to figure out why it wouldn't be good for a 7 year old and 5 year old. Are the cards choking hazards? Is the competitive side of this game too hard once you get away from freestyle mode? Are the lyrics in some songs too offensive?

If I had to guess, I'd say it's mostly a matter of them trying to cover their bases as far as the music goes. I don't know if any of the music has bad lyrics but I imagine it's a possibility (especially since they plan to release more music as collectible packs down the line). Never know what music some people will find offensive

I'm waiting for the inevitable 30 or 20 price point. seems like it bombed pretty hard (unfortunately), and I'm not in any rush.

Did it really? I hadn't heard much about how it did, but I guess it doesn't surprise me given the high starting price.

that's just an assumption after seeing such a large price drop down 50% (my bad on the fact-y language in my last post) and seeing the general trend of these harmonix games with their elaborate peripherals

on the other hand, sales like this for tabletop games seems pretty standard around the holidays

harmonix has burned me too much lately, this will be $20 before too long

Part of me wants to agree, but then again, Rock Band 4's instrument set is still sitting well over $100 2 years later

that doesn't change the fact that rock band 4, while functional was a pretty big slap in the face to fans of the series feature-wise. they lied a whole bunch and then asked for more money, and their other projects keep failing

i dont have high hopes for dropmix

I skipped out on RB4, what kind of stuff did they lie about?
---

That looks cool, I just dont know if I know enough people who would be interested in playing that
