Mad Catz Interactive today announced that it has begun shipping the second wave of accessories designed for use with the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360.
Joining the previously released Fender Precision Bass Guitar Controller released in September 2008, products expected to ship as part of the second wave of accessories are as follows:
Designed exclusively for the Rock Band 2 Wireless Drum Kit, the Cymbal Expansion Pack adds up to three cymbals to the Drum Kit. Sold either in a Single, Twin or Triple configuration, the Cymbal Expansion Pack attaches quickly and easily, each Cymbal Expansion Pack contains all necessary brackets and leads needed to add a choice of crash, ride or hi-hat Cymbals to the Drum Kit. Velocity sensitive, each Cymbal reacts realistically in game, outputting a louder noise the harder you hit.
The Portable Drum Kit - A portable drum kit with color-coded Drum Pad comes equipped with a tactile backing, reducing slippage when used on a variety of surfaces and the Foam-Tipped Drum Sticks (included in the kit) dampen external noise when in use. The Portable Drum Kit comes complete with a durable Foot Pedal and Control Unit providing access to the full complement of controls needed to navigate in-game menus.
The Rock Band Premium M.I.C. (Microphone with Integrated Controller) features a full complement of Action Buttons with the D-Pad and Xbox LIVE button allowing for quick navigation of in-game menus without the need for a separate controller. Also included is a convenient Locking Switch prevents accidental access to Action Buttons, and the Soft-Touch Finish and Wind Shield.
The second wave of Mad Catz Xbox 360 licensed Rock Band accessories are expected to be available across North America and key European territories beginning mid November 2008.
Further products in this range and products for additional videogame platforms are expected to be launched early 2009.
