EBGames is suggesting that the prices of peripherals for EA's recently announced Rock Band game will range from $39.99 to $79.99 over the pond in the US.
Specifically, the 'Rock Band Wireless Guitar Controller' will retail at $79.99 (40 quid approx), the standard 'Rock Band Guitar Controller' at $59.99 (30 quid approx), the 'Rock Band Drum Set' $79.99 and the 'Rock Band Microphone' at $39.99 (20 quid approx).
The game itself, which is heading to PS3 and Xbox 360, is listed with a $59.99 price tag.
Assuming these prices are accurate, starting your own rock band is going to prove a little expensive.
Only $10 more than the Xbox 360 legendary edition in total with wireless guitar. Anyway, if your going to get a game with all this stuff, you have to expect to pay more money.
The answer, yet again, to CVG's article question is 'No'- the game itself is not close to being one of the most expensive ever. Non-essential peripherals don't count in the cost of playing the basic game and, even if they did, there would still be some Neo Geo games and Steel Batallion that were more costly upon their release.
