[D.A.N.]

Well I know what music game I'm buying this year. *censored*in' sweet, I'm gonna be on that keyboard all the time.

[.Rubbersoul]

Keyboard should of been done in The Beatles: Rock Band.

Looks cool, nice to see they've kept harmonies.

[Mr. Kite]

PURE WIN. Downloadable content with that keyboard will be epic.

[Vunter Slaush]

Looks like I'll finally be able to get my keyboard I always wanted

The whole set is going to cost shit loads though I assume the MIDI keyboard isn't great. I wonder how they'll do it. There's no way they'd have a track featuring all the keys. I'm assuming they'd only have some of the notes and you can play it on any octave.

[Lunchbox]

1960s-1970s
Bohemian Rhapsody -- Queen
Break On Through -- The Doors

!!!!
We have a winner.

[D.A.N.]

I really hope they have a good amount of keyboards in stock when this game comes out. That and the game itself is all I need since I bought the full Rock Band 2 set.

Yeah, but it just won't be same without the Three-Part Harmonies and Keyboard that Guitar Hero has yet to announce.

Which reminds me of this video:

I'm going to rape all of you on guitar and keyboard.

...okay seriously, what's up with the strings. How's that going to work?

[Vunter Slaush]

I like how I can use all this shit for my actual music. I've always wanted a MIDI guitar, this will help

And it does kinda seem like you do actually play proper guitar... I wonder how they'll represent it on the 'fret highway' thing.

And yeah, I'm going to rape you all at 'Pro Guitar'

[L.I.O.]

Could we buy the keyboard separately? I don't wanna buy the full set again -_-

But this game looks soooo legit.

You'll be able to buy the keyboard separately like any instrument I'm sure. It's just a matter of how easy it is to find one.

[.Taby Queen.]

Being a huge music game player, I am FOR SURE buying this, and probably the whole set instead of just the game. I think the keyboard works out great based on gameplay I've seen, but I'm wondering how the whole string on the guitar thing instead of buttons is going to work out? Are you just going to have to hit the string or a certain fret on it? I hope my questions are answered at E3.

There's not a full set this year. The only bundle this year is the Keyboard bundle (which is the Keyboard and Game). All the other stuff (like the guitars, the cymbals, etc.) is sold separately, Heck, you can even purchase the Keyboard separately -- which would be kind of foolish unless you need a replacement or something.

By the way, most of the pricing details are in the first post.

[Vunter Slaush]

Oh that's cool. They actually show the fret number. I like that they'll be teaching people to actually play an instrument.

I bet that the Expert mode on normal guitar will be harder for me than the real guitar

[TheKAC]

Plush-Stone Temple Pilots is an epic choice.

[R.O.B.]

It looks amazing, I can't wait for it.

[.Rubbersoul]

Graphics look amazing.
