MTV’s Multiplayer blog has received confirmation of the pricing and release schedule for Rock Band, which is coming to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Playstation 2 later this year.

According to MTV’s “corporate chiefs”, the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game (which both include a guitar, a mic and a drum kit) will set you back $169.99 respectively, when they launch on November 23.

Conversely, the PS2 version won’t be available until December 10, but it will be priced at $159.99. Both the PS versions come with wireless guitars, but 360 owners will have to wait a little while longer for theirs.
