How much ya got? - An article posted today at engadget.com finally shed some light on the much anticipated "Guitar Hero" lookalike-on-steroids game "Rock Band". According to the site, Amazon and Gamestop are taking online pre-orders for bundled 360 and PS3 versions selling for $199 that includes the game disc, guitar, microphone and drum set. You can also buy each piece individually with the disc selling for $60, the microphone for $30 and the drums for $80. For some strange reason the wireless guitars are listed as $80 for the 360 and $50 for the PS3. Now all you have to do is wait until November 20th and you can rock out with your friends just like these guys at E3.

And finally... - My brother and I have had all sorts of technical problems with our podcast. A lot of great material has been lost, including a fantastic in-studio interview with GameDaily associate editor Eli Shayotovich. I seem to have found a temporary solution so you can listen to the coloradojoe cast by clicking the link on the right, but as of right now, its not downloadable on iTunes.
