Rock Band Nintendo Wii commercial (UK)

Rock Band is a music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games, and distributed by EA Distribution. It is the first title in the Rock Band series. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were released in the United States on November 20th 2007, while the PlayStation 2 version was released in the U.S. on December 18th 2007 and the Wii version was released on June 22nd 2008. The game was released in Canada for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on December 22nd 2007 and for the PlayStation 2 on January 2nd 2008. It was released in parts of Europe as a timed exclusive on Xbox 360 on May 23rd 2008.

Rock Band allows players to perform in a virtual band by providing up to four players with the ability to play three different peripherals modeled after music instruments (a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass guitar gameplay, a drum peripheral, and a microphone). These peripherals are used to simulate the playing of rock music by hitting scrolling notes on-screen. Players with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions can interact through both online and offline multiplayer capabilities. In addition to the 58 core songs included on the game disc, hundreds of downloadable songs are being released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.

At launch, the game software was made available in a bundle that packaged it together with the instrument peripherals, as well as for purchase separately. Individual instrument peripherals were released at a later date. The game has received widespread critical acclaim, with sales of four million units and global revenues of $600 million. Players have also made 30 million downloadable song purchases since Rock Band's release. The game's success prompted a sequel, Rock Band 2.
