The Instrument Edition of Rock Band will retail for €139.99 in Europe and £109.99 in the United Kingdom for the Xbox 360®, PLAYSTATION®3 system, PlayStation®2 system and Wii™."

In should be mentioned that Rock Band 2 launches in the States on September 14 (Xbox 360). No date for other versions or other parts of the world has been announced.
