GameStop Lets Out Rock Band Instrument Release Dates?

While broken peripherals and just plain incompatible instruments have plagued Rock Band’s release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (more so on the former), the road to a fully-featured four-piece band just got a little sunnier, as EB Games has stated the release date of each of the sold-separately versions of the Guitars, Drum Kits, and Microphones for Harmonix’s rhythm-based juggernaut…kinda.

An e-mail sent out today to GameStop newsletter subscribers states that February 4th will be the official shipping date for the oh-so-desired peripherals:

We’d like to remind you that the Fender Stratocaster guitar controller, electronic drum kit, and microphone will be available separately beginning February 4; so you should pre-order the instrument of your choice now before the Groundhog Day Rush.

The problem?  Well, besides making up a shopping holiday centered on Groundhog Day of all things, each instrument’s specific page points to a release date of *March* 4th.  Hmmm…
