EDIT: Whoops, accidentally posted the link in the title, can a mod get that out of there please? Thanks.

a lot of really cool songs here ... but I'm not paying Rock Band 3 instruments .. will I be able to play it with the instruments from RB2?

Yeah, the only new thing is the keyboard which they haven't announced the price on yet. I also heard that there will be 2 new optional guitars that will actually have strings on them like a real guitar. Everything that you have been using for RB 1 or 2 should work just fine though. All the DLC will still work also, of course(I think they may even add in keyboard and harmonies to older DLC also).

keyboard huh??

Different...

The part I like:

•Rock Band Pro. This new music learning mode lets players develop real-world music-playing fundamentals for keyboards, guitars and drums. More realistic music notations replace the standard color-coded notes during gameplay. For guitar, numbers flow down the screen along six guitar strings, telling you where to place your hands on the neck and when to strum.

Two new guitar controllers in the works have actual strings where you strum; one is a full-sized, fully functional six-string Squier Stratocaster from Fender. "It can tell where your fingers are based on technology in the neck and the bridge of the guitar. No buttons," Drake says. "While you're playing it, it feels exactly like playing a real guitar," because that's what you're doing.

The other is a Fender Mustang Pro controller from accessory maker Mad Catz with a field of buttons in each fret. As your fingers compress the smaller non-colored buttons on that guitar's neck, your finger positions are represented in the game's display. "You can go from plucking single notes to power chords and bar chords, we have crazy stuff like tapping and slides," Dubrofsky says. "If you ever had any aspirations of connecting with the music in a deeper way ... you are really going to like Rock Band 3."

For drums, three new cymbals are added to the standard four drum pads, and you are forced to play the correct cymbal at the right time. "It really immerses you more. You feel more like a drummer," Dubrofsky says. "It's not only for expert levels. You can come in on easy and actually play Pro drums. We have all the different levels established. It's actually really fun. You are playing up on the high hat or down on the snare, and it feels more like a kit than ever before."

On keyboards, Sussman says, "we're actually utilizing the full two-octave range that the keyboard controller has. Everything that you are playing, whether you are playing on easy or expert, is accurate musical information. The track looks like a real keyboard track, and you are playing notes on the keyboard that if you were to step away from the game and were to play on a real piano, they would be the right notes."

Pro players can use the mode for private practice or incorporate it while others play the game's standard arcade modes. "You can be an expert keys-player playing with an all easy band, no problem," Drake says.

60 dollars plus controllers to learn how to play guitar, methinks this game will be a better guitar teacher than my high school has.

Looking forward to it. Especially the Pro drums and keyboard. I might get the new guitar, but probably not.

Maybe the put some Muse on the game this time. Sunburn would be a great song on keyboard.
