Some guitars that look expensive - Image 1Forming a rock band is no easy feat, plus it doesn't come cheap too. Be it a real rock band or a band for the newest rock 'roll game, Rock Band (Xbox 360, PS3). Just a few hours ago, we reported that GameStop is now accepting pre-orders for Rock Band accessories such as the Rock Band Drum Set, Guitar Controller, Microphone, and Wireless Guitar Controller.

The most expensive accessories are the Drum Set and Wireless Guitar Controller (both sell for roughly $80), the Guitar Controller has a $ 60 price tag and the Microphone sells for $40.

So if these prices are accurate, you'd have to cough up a lot of dough to really rock out with Rock Band. But prices are still subject to change, so hopefully they'll lower the prices mark. But good news for the penny pinchers out there, CVG reports that the Guitar Hero II Xbox 360 controllers are compatible with Rock Band for the X360, so that could save you 60 or 80 bucks.

I think they are trying too hard now, yes guitar hero is a great game, so I don't see the need for this.

This game seems like it could be a big hit but then again the prices are pretty high priced so I don't know if people will be able to shell out the dough for one of these accessories. I'd say that this is a definite buy if the accessories were cheaper. Still, all in all, this game seems like it could pull it off, it's definitely not a budget-title :)

You can just buy the game and the drums if you wanted to. No one's forcing you to buy every peripheral.

 » i think you'll find that wii sports is the most expensive game right now

or you could say zelda twilight princes... otherwise there's no reason to own a wii. mind you, paying 430 quid to play fl0w is a bit much.

I have no interest in singing into a mic, and unless my friends want to play drums, I'll essentially just treat this as another Guitar Hero but with unparalleled access to the original recordings. It'd sure be nice if we could use usb adapters for the ps2 guitar controllers though.
