Harmonix’s latest project is Rock Band, an ambitious title that will have gamers strumming, drumming and singing, but all this sounds expensive and has given rise to rumours that the whole package will cost in the region of £100.

While there is still no official information regarding pricing, Harmonix art director Ryan Lesser has revealed that those involved are working hard to ensure the released game is affordable.

I think when it’s just rumour [about the pricing] and no one has anything tangible to hold on to, people can be afraid – but the fact is we’re very conscious of it, and we’re doing our best to make it awesome and affordable,” Lesser told GamesIndustry.biz.

Given that Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360 currently retails at £69.99, it would be no surprise to see Rock Band and all of its peripherals priced somewhere around £100.

Rock Band is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year.
