Stage Kit for Rock Band Adds Lights and Smoke to Gamers' Fun
New PDP Product Aims to Bring Gaming to a New Level
LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- Oct 14, 2008 With billowing smoke and shimmering stage lights, Stage Kit for Rock Band will soon help wannabe rockers look more like the real thing.
The Stage Kit, designed and developed by Performance Designed Products (PDP), will hit store shelves in October, closely following the recent release of Rock Band 2 for Xbox 360. Both should be popular choices this holiday season.
The Stage Kit creates a light-and-smoke effect that is synchronized to the music and will help would-be rockers in living rooms look the part of rock stars on stage. The accessory is the latest in the push to make the video game experience more real.
If youre playing the part of a rock star, you should have the tools available to you to make it look real -- thats PDPs philosophy, said John Moore, vice president of marketing for California-based PDP. Whether it's family members or friends playing together, the Stage Kit helps them look like real rock stars.
To unveil the Stage Kit, PDP turned to one of the fastest rising bands out of Boston, Bang Camaro. After landing a song in Rock Band, the four-piece band, with their legion of singers, have taken the country by storm, including kicking off this year's Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago. More information on the band can be found at www.BangCamaro.com.
The Stage Kit will be available on October 26 with a suggested retail price of $99 and will be compatible with Rock Band and Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360.
