Rock Band Instruments To Go Solo

We all know that getting a band together is an exciting project, but Harmonix’s Rock Band aims to take the solo route by eventually offering the game’s instruments on an a la carte basis. Publisher MTV Games has confirmed that from February 12, 2008 onwards, gamers will be able to pick up individual drum kits and guitars for $79.99 and $59.99 a pop respectively in the US. There is no word on a Rock Band microphone, though you can currently use any USB microphone with the game. Looks like with this move happening a couple of days before Valentine’s, lovers who love rocking it out with each other can hold drum-vs-drum contests in the game’s versus mode.
