Amazon.com has posted listings for the Rock Band Collection for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, and it comes to no surprise to anyone involved that the set isn't going to be cheap. $200 will snag you a copy of the game, the drum set, a microphone, and either a wireless guitar for the PS3 or a wired one for the Xbox 360, with a potential release date of November 20th, which we'll consider speculation until we hear something official. Breaking it down, with the game at $60, the mic at $30, drums at $80 and the guitar at $60, it works out to a savings of some $30 on the overall price, as well as a very sad bassist. Adding in another guitar brings the grand total to $260 or $280 if you opt for the 360's wireless version, keeping things pretty much in line with current speculation. Mind you the prices are still subject to change, and even now these could just be placeholders, but it certainly seems reasonable.

Remembering the recently leaked price memo, you may recall that the wireless 360 guitar was listed at $79.99 while the PS3 guitar was listed at $59.99. Some have speculated that the 360 discrepancy is the result of having to pay Microsoft to use its proprietary wireless technology.

The Rock Band and Bethesda parties were crazy last night -- and everyone is ready to go back to work this morning. The analysts who look into their crystal ball and tell us the future seem to be liking Rock Band, the next game from Harmonix. This morning, outside the EA room at LeMerigot, a cluster of analysts were talking and one mentioned the game, "Rock Band, I was watching them play. This guy, on the drums, I mean, you have to be good."

Rock Band served as the tail end of EA's E3 press conference, and they made sure to save a few announcements for last. CEO of Harmonix, Alex Rigopulos announced that Rock Band will receive downloadable content every single week after its initial release.

Finally, Rigopulos announced that Rock Band musicians will at last be jamming to Metallica. It was revealed that Metallica's "Enter Sandman" will ship with the retail version of Rock Band with many more career-spanning tracks coming as downloadable content.

The inaugural E3 Business & Media Summit is just days away now, and such important gaming events usually prompt enough speculative chatter to kick start our efficient Rumour Mill into complete overdrive. The first significant arrival in terms of E3 rumours is the claim that Harmonix's Rock Band will appear exclusively (for a limited time) on the Microsoft Xbox 360 when it is launched later this year.

This has been sparked by the appearance of an invite to the developer's E3-based event this coming Wednesday, upon which a distinctive Xbox 360 logo appears... but not a Sony PlayStation 3 equivalent. Wired's Chris Kohler has previously speculated that Microsoft might have once again used its financial clout to gain exclusive rights to the upcoming virtual musical extravaganza.

Is Rock Band coming to the Xbox 360 first? Rumors about a period of limited exclusively in place for Christmas fly, as the E3 rumor mill starts spinning. This little rumor was sparked by the appearance of an invite to this year's E3 Harmonix event on Wednesday, which appears to be missing a PS3 logo, while prominently displaying an Xbox 360 one in full and glorious Technicolor. Wired magazine's Chris Kohler has jumped on the speculation bandwagon, fueling his theory that the big MS may have ... » Read More

It's no secret that Guitar Hero appealed to both hardcore and casual gamers alike. Croal believes that hardcore fans will dish out money to purchase the full experience Rock Band has to offer, while their casual friends will walk in to play along before deciding to get their own set of peripherals.Ubisoft is unavoidable when speaking of third-parties. Analysts find Ubisoft to be very inventive, which will put pressure on EA. Assassin's Creed is currently a big question mark, but everyone expects it to be very big...

Here's the invitation for the Rock Band party at E3, which from all appearances is the biggest, must-be-there event of the show. Question: in the giant pile of logos that appear on the bottom of the invitation, which is conspicuous by its absence?

Is this more evidence for my (still totally speculative and far-out) theory that there's some kind of exclusivity deal in the works for Rock Band and Xbox 360?

Nailing down a Rock Band peripheral price has been almost as difficult as explaining how Keith Richards is still alive. An employee of Game Crazy sent Joystiq a printout of the pricing list which they received on July 3. The only thing that really jumps out is the Xbox 360 guitar price being $20 more than the PS3 (more on this in a second). Much of the information is still in line with the GameStop pricing reported months ago. Officially a Harmonix representative says, "We have not released any pricing details regarding Rock Band as of yet, but stay tuned."

Rock Band is the rhythm-action experience that we all fantasized about, while crashed out backstage (well, on the couch) after a session with the legendary Guitar Hero. Uniting up to four players in separate band roles - online or within the same room - it's your chance to take your amateur swagger and daft rock salutes to the next level. One player takes guitar, one takes bass, another yammers out the vocals while the drummer completes the goofy group. If one of your members stumbles and ... » Read More

From Kotaku:

You got a whole ton of Rock Band info this morning. Included amongst the debris was a short tracklist, revealing eight of the songs that will feature on the game's pack-in disc. Yet take a look at the screenshot above. Those lyrics, if they're not already ringing your bell, are from the Ramones' Rockaway Beach, which was not listed. Placeholder track or PR mistake?

Right now it is all rumor and speculation.

Rock Band, the stunning new rhythm action game from Guitar Hero creator Harmonix, will give you the chance to polish off a track with your own twiddly guitar lick or skin-beating drum solo. All the note bars will fill with color, and you can bash out anything you like. Songstrels won't be left out of the noodling madness, though. As a Rock Band singer, you'll be able to "call out the crowd" by ad-libbing or shouting to the audience to bring your fans to their feet. While drummers will also get ... » Read More
