All right, to end this once and for all, the package I bought from Walmart is indeed a demo. The very first thing I found when I opened the box was a packet of papers that says
"Dear WalMart Store Manager:
Enclosed in this Rock Band demo kit are the following items:
  • PS3 demo software
  • Drum kit with stand
  • Guitar controller
  • Demo set-up instructions
These items should be installed on the PS3 end cap in the Christmas Shop per the instructions from your merchandising team.

Turn up the volume and rock on!"

The rest of the packet contains instructions for setting up.
Inside the box was the game in a crappy little paper sleeve, and it came with two smaller boxes containing a wired guitar (note that I bought a PS3 version, so this is probably to prevent people from stealing the guitar from the store) and a drum set. No sign of a microphone, just like the post on the Rockband forums mentioned.
Just got home from Walmart in Branford, CT... they only had a PS3 version left with Drums, Guitar & Mic for $169.99. Not really a DEAL but they did break street date by 21 days! Like I said YMMV! Good Luck. I would have snapped up a 360 version, but they sold out already.

Pictures would be nice. I can't believe this is at stores already and they have a date of coming out Nov.21.

Sorry I don't carry my camera with me, especially when I'm headed to Walmart to buy something to fix a toilet. I didn't believe it either till I saw it. I actually had to stop at Gamestop on the way home to ask when it comes out. The box is pretty big, It's the size of 4 GHIII boxes put together... It says "Rock Band Limited Edition" on the box. Like I said... YMMV!

Still at cost it is still bit too expensive for me, I'll just get GH3 for $50. Nevertheless good find OP, but it's without a doubt one of the harder ymmv's to find.

Well if it was true I think any person here would have bought the ps3 version anyways just to sell on ebay and make a killing on it.

Damn, that's ing way before the official release date. My theory is that's supposed to be a demo setup or something, seeing as it's on the bottom of a cart.

Appologies to the OP if this is true. This would be pretty insane 20 days early, but I would imagine it's the store demo.

Don't be so quick to call someone an idiot unless you want to look like one yourself. The pic posted above is from GAMEFAQ's, not the OP.
