Rock Band Accessories – PS3 & Xbox 360

So whether you’re totally tone deaf like me or a budding rock star you will love the new game for Xbox 360 and PS3 called Rock Band from the market leading games publisher Electronic Arts (EA).

The PS3 version launches later in the year, but the recent launch of the 360 version went down a storm and with some great accessories available you can change your living room or bedroom into a stage and treat your fans to a realistic show!

At £39.89 it’s a sensible price for a game that will last and last. I guarantee this will be a big seller at Christmas.

As for the accessories there are;

Band in a Box – £114.99 - which is a little bit steep for every gamer, but it does come with mic, hub, drum kit and guitar. Although early feedback on the hub is it is poor quality. Which is just as well there is a standalone hub, you still need the game with this kit.

Rock Band Hub – £17.89 – http://www.tgrav.com/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=6073&catid=25 – this will link upto 4 USB devices and is therefore essential.

There are a few guitars out there for the upcoming PS3 game, but no 3rd party for the 360, so you have to buy - at £59.89

If you decide against the Band in a Box, which I strongly advise, then you need the drum kit - which retails for £69.89

A must have is the drum silencers as the sound from the hitting the drums without them is dreadful, sounds really tinny and not very rock n’ roll – only £13.89 it’s in budget – http://www.tgrav.com/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=6095&catid=25

I am sure there will be accessories after launch and there are some others from MadCatz, but they are not match for the PDP products or the official one from EA.
