Rock Band Instruments Available Separately Soon

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo January 26th, 2008 at 6:52 PM

Gamespot is reporting that the wildly popular Co-Op game Rock Band's instruments will no longer be only bundled with the game in a $169.99 package.  Instead, the instruments will be available seperately for a price. 

When the now-platinum-selling Rock Band first hit stores last fall, developer Harmonix assured gamers that the game's instruments would be offered a la carte--eventually. Today, publisher MTV Games confirmed that, starting February 12, a $79.99 drum kit and $59.99 guitar would be available in US stores. No mention was made of when--or if--a Rock Band microphone would be sold solo, although the game already works with any USB microphone.

This is especially good news for Playstation 3 owners who have been unable to play using two guitars.  The reason behind this?  The Guitar Hero 3 controller on Playstation 3 is not compatible with Rock Band.

Now it may have been the fact that I was at work at 6am, but I believe that there is a Rock Band branded microphone out and sold separately. At least there is one at my Best Buy. I checked the website and came up with nothing, but I will double check my store again. The price on it is $49.99.
