EA cuts price of Rock Band Instrument bundle

Electronic Arts has cut GBP 20 / EUR 30 off the recommended retail price of the Rock Band Instrument Edition pack.

The instrument bundle was released for the Xbox 360 in Europe priced GBP 129.99 / EUR 169, but also required consumers to purchase the game separately at a further GBP 49.99 / EUR 69.99, causing outrage from consumers alarmed at the high price.

The bundle will now sell for GBP 109.99 / EUR 139.99 in the region, with EA also announcing the PS3, PS2 and Wii editions of the game will roll out to European stores through September.
