The special edition ION drum kit looks like it’s going to be a popular accessory. We’ve got more details on the release including an expected release date, compatible formats, countries it will be released, price, and pre-order details.

Microsoft unveiled the new design for the Xbox 360 dashboard, and released details of a few new features and functions that should add some real value to the online 360 experience. The dashboard might not be to everybody’s taste, and to us, it looks a little too Wii like.

The Limited Edition ION Rock Band 2 drum kit is now available for pre-order from the ION Audio website. That’s for US XBox360 owners only - news regarding a worldwide release, as well as kits for the Wii and PS3 version will be with you shortly (apparently).
