Rock Band: Solo Instruments Available ASAP



For those looking forward to Harmonix's upcoming rock n' roll Guitar Hero-like title, Rock Band, but don't want to buy the $169.99 bundle, we have some good news.

The game itself, Rock Band, will be available for purchase alone, along with the instruments as well.

This news comes directly from an interview with Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos. He assures that even though the complete bundle is the first Rock Band package available for purchase upon launch, gamers won't have to wait long for the individual instrument bundles to be churned out. His statement:
"We are working diligently to get individual instruments into the channel as soon as humanly possible and we have a huge effort in place to make this happen.

Harmonix supports open platform standards in our game design, so people will most likely be able to use their existing peripherals with Rock Band. Furthermore, we know that many, many friends are planning to purchase a Rock Band bundle together, along with extra copies of the software, and then share the individual instruments among them."
Good to see that Harmonix is working on an affordable method of getting the good game experience for everyone. And if you already own Guitar Hero, you may not even need to buy a new one, unless you want it.
