Final prices and release dates:

360 and PS3: 169.99, Nov. 23.
PS2: 159.99, Dec. 10.

For the bundles obviously.

yeah, i will not be buying this.

$170 is a lot better than the previously speculated prices.

My boys will be pitching in anyway.

Fuck the bundle.

Still buy it, but probably with a little less equipment.

<font color=goldenrod>tbh that bundle seems like a damn good deal

I'll also still have my GH2 controller (just buying the game when GH3 is out) so I'll in effect have the whole band set</font>

It's a nice deal, but I don't have 170 bucks to spend on a single game right now, and so I'm still not doing it.

It's easier if you live in luxury, or under the purview of your parents, but most people are probably looking at cost analysis. I can always buy the drums later, and I probably will, but I'm not really interested in the drumming portion. The mic, OTOH, is something I'll want, and eventually I want the guitar, I can get by with my GH3 guitar to start with. I'm already plunking down 100 bucks on that game.

Yessssss, "Welcome Home" by Coheed And Cambria confirmed.

Im probably gonna just purchase the game to treat it as another guitar hero...Would love to do the full instrument thing...but I would rather keep my money.

You may not have a choice. I think I saw that the instruments aren't being released stand alone until February.

Thos release dates are likely wrong.

Seeing as how that was one of the incorrect release dates for Rock Band.

Filled the cup. :love: :heart: :love: :heart:

IGN reveals a new song:

Molly Hatchet-Flirting With Disaster

2 more songs

Foreplay/Long Time - Boston

Unbundled Rock Band available at launch

The upcoming PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2 game Rock Band is dependent on specialized microphone, guitar, and drum controllers that won't be available individually when the game launches. However, that isn't stopping developer Harmonix and MTV Games from selling stand-alone copies of the game from day one, in addition to the $169 bundle with the game and all three peripherals.

Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos gave a few more details on the company's Rock Band plans to the trade site Next-Gen in a recent interview. Rigopulos gave two reasons for the company's decision to release the game unbundled at launch, even though players won't be able to buy individual Rock Band instruments with which to play it at the time.

"Harmonix supports open platform standards in our game design, so people will most likely be able to use their existing peripherals with Rock Band," Rigopulos told the site in an opaquely worded reference to the Guitar Hero franchise Harmonix previously developed. "Furthermore, we know that many, many friends are planning to purchase a Rock Band bundle together, along with extra copies of the software, and then share the individual instruments among them."

As for when the official Rock Band instruments will be available outside of the bundle, Rigopulos only said that Harmonix is working to make them available "as soon as humanly possible."

New songs:

New Pornographers-The Electric Version
The Outlaws-Green Grass and High Tides
Sweet-Ballroom Blitz ( :love: :love: :love: )

Gotta say, I really think, in terms of song selection anyways, GH3 wipes the floor with RB.

I thought Ballroom Blitz was already confirmed.

Am I just hallucinating?

I understand alot of the selections for a game like this, but I would've liked a bigger emphasis on current Rock. Alot of the songs are slow paced, or fast paced for their timeline which pretty much means slow paced these days.

There's gonna be some kick-ass DL stuff, though. I just don't see Neversoft keeping GH3 alive for long... not in their character.

Last 4 songs in the main setlist

Aerosmith - Train Kept A Rollin'
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
The Killers - When You Were Young
Fall Out Boy - Dead on Arrival (lol?)

Good luck singing that one.

I don't know about Timmy, but I want to see some Queen songs in here, to hear people try and pull a Freddie.

TRIBE! :love:

Yeah, I know, I bet the only one who's ever heard of them here is Wadding, and only because I sent him a Boot of their Godzilla cover.

Yeah just played a demo of this at Best Buy with some guy on the drums whos been there for like 2 days straight (no joke). The guitar was broken so I couldn't downstrum, had to use the dpad. I didn't get a chance to mess with the toggles and such but it still doesn't sway me enough to buy the whole pack. The camera speed of the characters playing the songs looks like it's a DVD of concert or something. It looks awesome.

It's been delayed in Canada a month, because the box does not include French, and it is a rule in Canada that the box has to be bilingual or something :|

Fuck that. Amazon, here I come.

Is there no end to canada's douchebaggery?
