Rock Band 3 Hitting In Late October
GameStop
Shoppers who drop the coin at one of these fine retail chains will receive these three songs at launch: "Burning Down the House" by the Talking Heads, "My Own Summer," by the Deftones, and "Blue Monday" by New Order.
Amazon
Amazon's offer isn't so clear-cut. Pre-orders for all three versions of the game will net you an exclusive in-game guitar. But "for a limited time," PS3 and 360 pre-orderers will also receive a gift voucher for $10 off towards another game purchase.
Wal-Mart
Clean and simple: pre-orders will get you a $10 eGift card (whatever that is).
Rock Band 3 made its public debut at E3 2010. Due to the rumor mill, the reveal of keyboard support didn't quite make the splash that it could have, but that hasn't swayed the popular opinion that it's a solid addition to the franchise. Jeff got his hands on the game, and even a duct-taped keyboard, in advance of the event, so definitely check out his impressions if you've got an itch to break out that drum set later this fall.

Aww, but that means it won't have keyboard support...
...Ah whatever, I'd tap that shit regardless.
"And right before your Halloween party! "
Seriously..? What the fuck? I swear every single time I see an article on this site I cringe, it's dreadful now. Either split all this shit away from proper updates on this site so I don't have to trawl through all this crap to find out if anything interesting is actually happening, or just stop posting pointless "news" articles.
Ah man, I knew Burning Down the House seemed familiar...
I recognized the song title, but didn't fully understand its 80s awesomeness until I youtube'd it. can. not. wait.

"Whoa, bit of an over reaction? Im sure it was tounge in cheek...

" Damn Nicholson, you must be pretty rich now, what with all this "news" you pump out. "I'm pretty sure he doesn't get paid.
Also, why does the screenshot look cel shaded?

Hey, that's my birthday! Not that I'm gonna get it since I'll be too busy getting very drunk and depressed but that's pretty awesome either way.
Play.com had the UK release (29th) dated like last week. So whatever." Can't decide if I'm disappointed that I read this on engadget about 16 hours ago. "
ROCK BAND! I just want to know if there will be any support for old DLC with Pro mode, and/or what the pricing will be for Pro DLC.
Roll on October!
" @sofacitysweetheart: I believe I heard that some, or most maybe,older songs would be getting pro mode support....not sure where or when I heard that..... I think it was during E3 and it came from a Harmonix rep..... "Interesting :). But this is EA, so I can only assume there will be a premium charge involved (sigh. I'll totally give into it too :'| )
Damn I really really wish they'd make an NTSC-J (Asia) version of Rock Band 3.... Seriously I can't even play RB1 or 2 simply because of the stupid region lock on 360. :'( Ahhh well from what I've heard about the features it is looking very good (for all you lucky folks who can play it)! :P
If those three songs are available for purchase in the Rock Band store then Amazon is the best deal, because with the $10 coupon you can buy a 1600 MS point card for half price.
