Harmonix (the developer of Rock Band) has confirmed that the Rock Band bundle will cost $170 (well, actually, $169.99 – I rounded up). They also confirmed that the game will hit stores on November 23rd. The PS3 bundle will include the wired drumset and microphone, and a wireless guitar.

Now I’m torn. That’s $30 less than I was previously led to believe. I won’t have room for the drum kit until I finish my basement, so I wasn’t planning on getting Rock Band until then. But now Rock Band only costs $70 more than Guitar Hero III, making it a pretty good deal considering that it includes a drumkit and mic.

I was planning to buy GH3 only this fall. Now I’ll have to reconsider. I’d really like to see what new stuff Rock Band adds to the mix.
