Since I heard that Harmonix was splitting from Red Octand and doing an obscenely cool game like Rock Band, I’ve been a little excited.  I think saw the video below and pretty much geeked myself.  Hit the jump for further details on the game.

As if that wasn’t cool enough to erase any doubt about if this is a must-buy game, I did a little digging around and discovered a couple things that have officially sealed the deal for me.  First of all, Joystiq has reported that the game will be online, which if done properly, might just cause an outbreak of world peace.

Unfortunatel, the Game Crazy system still shows the bundle at $999.99, which is obviously incorrect.  In an effort to get all the info we have, apparently Gamestop has the bundle available for preorder online for $199.99 and this should include the guitar, mic, drums and game.  If that price holds up, I will trade in whatever I have to in order to get my hands on this glorious bit of musical greatness.
