Rock Bands Fender Arriving Fashionably Late

So i still don't honestly know if we'll even be seeing Rock Band 3 here in Australia, however if we do get it and you want to play the pro guitar mode, you'll either have to pick up the Madcatz Mustang pro-guitar controller or wait till some time in 2011 when the Fender Squier controller launches. It seems the Fender guitar will not be ready in time for the release of the game and even when it is ready, it's gonna set you back over $250, compared to the Mustangs $150+ pricetag (remembering this isn't just a controller, but also a fully functioning guitar). As for you keyboard/piano players out there, you should be prepared to pay over $100 for your instrument, and that's not even including the game. Rock Band 3 is due for a late October release in the U.S. and Europe.
