Reports are currently claiming that the UK release bundle's for Rock Band are going to cost £95 more then in the United States for the Xbox 360.

Gamers in the US will be able to buy the complete bundle for $169 (£85) where as in the UK, EA has decided to split the bundles up and sell them individually so if you buy them all together it will come to around £179.98 ($360).

Following the announcement that Rock Band will be released on May 23 for Xbox 360, a report claims the full package will cost UK buyers around £95 more than the equivalent bundle in the US.

While US gamers can buy Rock Band, complete with bundled instruments, for $169 (around £85), in the UK, EA has decided to split up the US bundle and sell it all separately.

According to Eurogamer, EA plans to charge around £180 for the Rock Band bundle, offering the standalone game for £49.99 and an instrument package for £129.99. This gives a total cost of £179.98 - almost £95 more than the same package in the US.

EA also plans to sell separate wireless guitars for £59.99 and a drum kit for £69.99.

Responding to the news, one gamer said: "Once again we get stiffed in Europe on pricing. It disgusts me. There doesn't appear to be the mention of buying the microphone on its own so people like myself who have two Guitar Hero guitars can't simply buy the solus game, a drum kit and a separate mic".
