Rock Band 3 was officially announced last week, and with it a batch of new instruments, the two main surprises being the keyboard ($79.99) and the 102 (!) button guitar ($149.99). Added to that are the new cymbals ($39.99) for the drum kit and a MIDI adapter box ($39.99) so you can plug your own keyboard to play the game. We also know that a package including the game and the keyboard will be available at $129.99. It still remains to be seen what the prices will look like in Europe, but it should unfortunately be as usual with a conversion from dollar to euro that will be at our disadvantage. You may want to get ready to get a loan before putting your money down.

Fortunately for me I play guitar - but this will have an impact on the more casual gamer IMO.
They seem to be very mindful that people already have large investments in plastic instruments and DLC.
I'll just be happy to have the cymbal notes actually show up as cymbals! That has driven me crazy.
