Xbox 360/PS3/Wii pre-orders net you a $10 eGift card.

Not to endorse a particular retailer, or heavily influence your decision on where to pre-order your copy of Rock Band 3, but – in my opinion – three extra songs in addition to the game’s huge 83 song setlist seems to be the best deal here. Good songs, too! Hell, I’d do it just for the Talking Heads song. I’m sure there might be some people who might object to not having the Orgy version of “Blue Monday,” but hey, sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

Regardless of how you choose to obtain your copy, Rock Band 3 is sure to deliver the awesome, slightly more realistic band experience you’ve been aching for ever since you started playing Rock Band in the first place.

Rock Band 3 brings the noise (and even some singing) on October 26, 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii.
