Still not 100% confirmed is it? I guess they'll be a press release with details today.

Expect it to knock in around the £130 to £150 mark... probably the lower of the two.

If they go for the same 'deluxe' pack as over in the US this will get you the game, drum kit, mic and one guitar.

Time to get some of my holidays booked I think

Each track will be available for 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 (DLC)

Ouch!

Europe, unlike the US, will not get all of the instruments bundled together with the game.

Instead, you will have to fork out for an Instrument Edition at GBP 129.99 / EUR 169 - comprised of the drum kit, guitar and microphone - then buy the game separately for GBP 49.99 / EUR 69.99.

Anyone after the whole lot will be looking at a total of GBP 180 / EUR 240, then. That's rather more than in the US, where you can buy the game and all the instruments for USD 169 - equivalent to around GBP 85 / EUR 107.

Wireless guitars will be sold separately for GBP 59.99 / EUR 79.99, while the drum kit will be GBP 69.99 / EUR 89.99.

Time to cancel that pre-order...
