Electronic Arts,  today announced a European price cut for the Rock Band Instrument Edition on the Xbox 360. In addition, Rock Band for the PS3 and PlayStation 2 and Wii will ship to retail and will be available in the UK the week of September 8th, in France the week of September 15th, in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria and Luxembourg the week of September 22nd and in Spain the week commencing September 29th.

The Instrument Edition of Rock Band will retail for €139.99 in Europe and £109.99 in the United Kingdom for the Xbox 360, PS3 system, PlayStation 2 system and Wii, however since the band in a box is already £99 at most online retailers this isnt really going to benefit anyone shopping in this way. If however you are shopping at a retailer on the high street then no doubt you will welcome this news.
