USA Today got the first look at Rock Band 3 complete with an extensive demonstration of the keyboard peripheral and some delicious additional news regarding the game.
Perhaps the best part? The full set for Rock Band 3 will come with a fully functioning Fender guitar that will be used for the game's new "Pro" difficulty. The keyboard itself can also be used as a fully functioning MIDI keyboard. Yeah... how's about them apples, eh?
Warning: An ad does run before the video actually starts.
83 songs are already planned for Rock Band 3 including songs from The Doors, Queen, and more. Look for it to arrive this Holiday season.

During the game, green, red, blue, yellow or orange keys flow on a "stream" representing the notes to be played on five corresponding keyboard keys. In a new authentic Pro mode meant to help players segue to actual instruments, all 25 keys are used; the streams shifts left and right to cover the correct keys. The keyboard also works as a MIDI keyboard that can be connected to a computer. "This is a real instrument and a real device," says senior designer Sylvain Dubrofsky.
