crazynites said: Yeah its weird how they only confirmed the 360 version, dont have have a PS3 to test it ? LOL , actually makes me think its not yet compatible & they are still working on it.

In a customer email sent out today, NZ retailer Gameplanet has confirmed official prices and an early October (the 10th perhaps) street date for EA's Rock Band in New Zealand. According to the email, EA's sent the store a single shipment of the game and hardware. What this means in real numbers isn't certain, but you can be sure it'll sell out quickly.

Then again, maybe it won't. Kiwis after the complete Rock Band experience (two guitars, drums, game and microphone) will have to shell out a staggering $NZ 519.85. That's madness with a dollar sign. The game itself will retail for $NZ 119.95.

The original email, with pricing for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii, can be found after the jump. Before you ask, no, there's no mention of Australia. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something soon... and it won't be from Harmonix.

Well my RB bundle is all set up, it appears the drums are the newer model as the orange bit doesnt have the tab at the top under the pedal, so would that mean the guitar is also the newer model I presume that doesnt have the strummer problems. Just waiting for the game to update then Im gonna start rocking.

EDIT: had one go of guitar, drums & singing LOL , OMG this is the best game ever made, its friggin awesome. The drums were kinda hard & I was only on easy LOL , guess it takes a little getting used to. My fiancee has invited her friend & her partner over tonight so I guess we will be playing Rock Band & having some drinks. Pity we only got the one guitar for now as someone will have to sit it out on each song.
