Internode Games Network takes notice of all the equipment necessary to play the upcoming Rock Band game, set for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this holiday and for the Wii “eventually.” How much might it cost? Check it out:
Anyway. GameStop. According to them, you’re looking at US$60 for the game. Guitar controllers will also cost that much, a drum set is US$80 and a microphone sneaks in at US$40. These are, at this stage, all wired controllers, by the way. To kit out your loungeroom in order to play a decent game of Rock Band, you’re looking at… 2x guitar (lead and bass), 1x microphone, 1x drum set, 1x game… that’s somewhere in the ballpark of US$300. Mind you – for a game that’s only just been announced, these numbers are fairly suspicious and have likely been pulled out of someone’s hat, but it’s a reminder that anything that requires this much extra gear isn’t going to be cheap.
