So October is officially the month of the first plastic instrument battle of the generation. Guitar Hero Live will launch on the 20th in North America with the EU catching up on the 23rd. That's a whole two weeks after Rock Band 4's release on October 6th so Harmonix will have a slight head start.

Pricing has also been confirmed with Guitar Hero Live at an affordable £84.99 on Amazon for a copy of the game and one of the all-new guitars. This is the same across last and current gen machines so no nabbing a cheaper copy if you're still on Xbox 360 or PS3. The US pricing is set at $99 and Amazon US is offering a bundle with two guitars for $149.99.
