While many have speculated and rumors have been rampant, EA's highly anticipated Rock Band now has both an official release date and price point.

For Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers, expect to see the Rock Band Special Edition package (includes the game, the guitar, the drums and the mic) to arrive on November 23rd for $169.99 (a $60 savings over the separate purchase price of the items).

PS2 gamers will have to wait a couple more weeks for a December 10th arrival, but they will also save $10 on the $159.99 package.
