Harmonix announced Rock Band 3 is coming out. Later this year, in time for the holidays. Oh, and it "will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again." That's it, that's all we know. We could conjecture what this means (and it's tempting to do so!). But it's better just to wait for a real announcement, the kind with a press release containing dates, pricing, and actual feature details. We're fans of the games they've released so far and even we have to call this one: Fail...
Maybe they will put an actual guitar (albeit simplified), as opposed to the 5 button/plastic one.
Although I must say they did improve quite significantly the quality of hardware since Guitar Hero 1
