Rock Band 3 was released something like three weeks ago but we only got our copy of the game this week, hence the absence of videos up until now. Unfortunately, we won't be able to show you some footage with the keyboard as we could not find any in the shops, yet another proof of a poor distribution here in France. Anyway, we still have a few things to show you, namely my poor skills with the drums and the guitar in medium mode and an attempt at being a singer in expert mode, no less. Dire Straits (because BlilmBlim still has all their posters in his bedroom), Huey Lewis (to celebrate the Bluray release of the best trilogy ever) and John Lennon (do we need to give a reason?), that is what you will get today in our late, but still exclusive, videos.

Harmonix released this new trailer of Rock Band 3, showing how the much awaited keyboard works in the game.

Rock Band 3 was officially announced last week, and with it a batch of new instruments, the two main surprises being the keyboard ($79.99) and the 102 (!) button guitar ($149.99). Added to that are the new cymbals ($39.99) for the drum kit and a MIDI adapter box ($39.99) so you can plug your own keyboard to play the game. We also know that a package including the game and the keyboard will be available at $129.99. It still remains to be seen what the prices will look like in Europe, but it should unfortunately be as usual with a conversion from dollar to euro that will be at our disadvantage. You may want to get ready to get a loan before putting your money down.

Electronic Arts just sent us the official confirmation of the release at the end of the year of Rock Band 3, with the biggest new thing being a keyboard peripheral, and also an hybrid guitar for the pros.
Update: Added a video.
