More On: Rock Band 3
Back in August, Harmonix and Mad Catz announced plans to re-release Rock Band 3 bundles including instruments and the RB3 software.  In late November, pricing for the Xbox 360 version were announced.  In addition, a bonus code for a 5-pack of Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks (Californication, Otherside, Under the Bridge, By the Way, and The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie) will also be included.  Here are the three Xbox 360 bundles with pricing:
  • Rock Band 3 PRO-Guitar Bundle - $149.99 ($159.99 Canada)
  • Rock Band 3 Strat Bundle - $69.99 ($74.99 Canada)
  • Rock Band 3 Bass Bundle (in red, white, or green) - $79.99 ($84.99 Canada)
The only disappointment is that it appears the highly sought after keyboard will not be one of the bundles.
