I used to think this was an April Fool's joke, but no one ever said it was, and it has a Wikipedia article and an official site with a message board up, so I think it's real.
Rock Band is a game being produced by Harmonix(the makers of Guitar Hero until Acclaim bought it out,) in association with MTV. It will be released before this Christmas for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It will have 4 peripherals: 2 Guitars(bass and lead,) a drum set, and a microphone for the lead singer. Basically, you start a band, and play the game. You can form a band online or offline, but I'm not sure how they can fit all 4 tracks on one TV screen. You can download new songs in addition to the original songs, and they will be the band itself, not covers like in Guitar Hero.
As of April 1, the bands Joan Jett, the Allman Brothers Band, Nirvana, and Wolfmother have been confirmed. They are in negotiation with every major record company for music, and they all seem cool with it.

So, I'm going to get this. It's gonna be expensive, but the cost will be split up between 4 people, so it shouldn't be that bad. It's going to be one of the greatest games ever.
EDIT: Sorry if this was a repaeat.
