Amazon.com has listed a Rock Band Bundle for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 at 199.99$. This Rock Band "Collection", as its named apparently, includes the videogame (of course), the (wired) guitar, drums, and microphone peripheral.
That's damn pricey if you ask me. Wonder how well it will sell. The game sure is interesting, but at that price point not many casual gamers will buy it. Take that with a grain of salt, it's just my speculation.
Still, a quite high price point. You are 49$ close to getting an entire console, the Wii, in comparison.
The game itself as stand-alone retails at 59.99$, and of course you can purchase the peripherals - including a wireless guitar which is never bundled - separately, too.
Surprisingly, the Xbox 360 wireless guitar costs 20$ more than the PS3's same gadget. Wonder where that's coming from.
Game: 59.99$
Wireless Guitar PS3: 59.99$
Wireless Guitar 360: 79.99$
Drums: 79.99$
Microphone: 29.99$
Wired Guitar (calculated, this item is not available on its own): 30.03$
That rounds it up. You pay at least double for the wireless guitar contrary to the wired version. Not my cup of tea either way.
- Update -
It's gotten to my ears that the Xbox 360 Bundle includes the wireless guitar in any case, instead of the wired version. Cannot confirm this, just to let you know.

It's still bullshit though. I won't be buying this game anyway.
When i got guitar hero 2 for the 360 they originaly told me 70 bucks, then it got changed to 90, if i would have known it was 90 all along i probably would not havew got it.
Will have to see what the british price is though before i decide whether or not i'll be getting just the guitar or the ful lcollection.
No time for your piss-poor attention grabbing whore attempts here. And we can't get your ban lifted from Kotaku either. You simply suck.

old news is old news.. but maybe thats your cup of tea?
I can go off and defend Ted, but the fact of the matter is that would be a waste of time. Read Ted's work before you attempt to rip on him. His work is informative, concise and tasteful. If his tone comes off as insulting, he's trying to tell you something. Stop taking things personally and cereally. This is Destructoid, the uncle that tells you dirty jokes.

When Jim Sterling posted his first article I ripped him apart. I basically called the biggest fucking retard on the innernet. It just so happens that I am a fan of Jim Sterling, he is a cool dude and I am really glad to see him as part of destructoid.
At this point I have completely forgot what exact point I was trying to make. I guess it is just that you don't need to get so easily offended.
