Pretty sure it's November.

You'd think they'd want Rock Band 2 out at the same time in competition :confused:

I'll be getting that with the drum kit.
I'll get RB2 when it comes out on PS3, least it will be a solus this time.

Well, I can confirm RB2 is NOT region free.

I'd love to know what the UK release date is going to be, I'm seriously tempted to get a US core 360 for this and future releases of games where Europe gets bummed.

Yeah I'm going to think about doing the same, my only worry is the reliability but getting a core should be cheap enough.

RB2 was leaked on webs, and it's not region free.. meaning we have to wait and pay dumb prices.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Probably end up buying GH:WT I guess.

I dont think we got shafted last time. The delay in launch here due to instrument problems is a delay I would welcome again. Then it really doesnt make sense to release it 3 months after RB1 when so many kits are kicking around the shops. I think it will probably end up being a december release.

yes but we can use the RB1 kit with a solus RB2, so apart from business reasons aside, i see no reason why it couldn't have been a worldwide release..

edit: damnit having seen some RB2 gameplay vids, i want to import a NTSC 360 now!
edit2: no actually sod that, as much as i want it, i'm not buying a NTSC console just for this and importing the game on top is yet more. i still have to finish the expert drum tour anyway.

Your upset they haven't made it region free so you can't rip them off? I understand you may be upset because you have to wait I just don't get the dumb prices bit :confused:

Doesn't have to be anything to do with ripping off - because it's region locked we can't even import a copy of the game legitimately unless we have a USA 360 to play it on.

I'll assume he means it would be cheaper to buy it from the US if it were region free than when it eventually comes out here.
