UK
Rock Band fans, you better bust out your plastic instrument polish, because you're going to want to have your gear in tip-top shape when
Rock Band 2 releases. For PS3 and PS2 gamers, the sequel will be available on retail shelves March 27. For those that have subscribed to Nintendo's console, the game is coming a little later, as it has been set for a April 24 release on Wii. PS3 gamers will have to shell out a cool £49.99 for the title, whereas Wii gamers will only need to spend £39.99 on it. PS2 gamers catch the biggest break in the price department and will only have to spend £29.99 on the game, although one could argue it's
barely Rock Band. Instruments will also receive a new price and will be set accordingly:
- Stand alone guitars will retail at £39.99
- Stand alone drums will retail for £49.99
- An "Instrument Edition" including drums, guitar and microphone will retail for £89.99
Also, consumers in the UK will now be able to purchase the "Instrument Edition" along with the
Rock Band software together for £119.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and £109.99 on the PlayStation 2 and Wii. Are you ready to
rawk?
