Nobody knows for sure, but the most likely rumour is the struggle in getting enough hardware together (which lead to US Shortages).

Other than that, can only be a licensing issue from all the bands and labels?
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

I was under the impression that the European Rock Band will have a localised track listing which will be quite different to the North American one.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

Rock Band has been delayed in Europe until the first quarter of 2008, but will be fully localised for each territory, on both disc and downloadable content. It's also coming to PS2, home of original Guitar Hero success.

The news erupted from the EA Games Convention conference in Leipzig, where Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos took to the stage to detail the much-anticipated title.

That would be shit if that happens - glad I got the US one and can also download US DLC! (even though its Oasis this week!)

Still an awful lot of money for a game though, you can buy a Wii for not much more!

Yea, I had a Wii and it was boring... think they will get there and the idea is fantastic, but its heartbreaking waiting for a decent game.

Anyway, Rockband isnt a 'game' its more of a new way to listen and interact with music. Like saying an iPod isnt worth £230 (ok, it isnt, but you get my point!!)
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

The Oasis pack is pretty good - if only for the fact the songs are really well known and good fun to sing and play along too (I 'sing' and 'guitar' at the same time using a mic-stand!).

Anyway, the best thing about it is without doubt Wonderwall, which (from my limited 'real life' guitar skills) plays pretty close to the real version - in so much as its mostly chords and fast up/down strumming. Feels like playing an acoustic guitar to the song - bang on Harmonix!!
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

guys, i am really thinking about getting this one. i already found a shop which sells the us version. do you think i will play this yet a few months later or is it only something for hardcore rock fans?

how can i buy new songs, i know that i probably need a credit card but can i just buy them in the us store without problems? (you know i have a fake address for my us account)
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

Special edition priced at £150+. Thats the one with all the instruments. Too expensive at the moment for me.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

150 "only"? thats cheaper than my shop, 240 euros (~ £178.00) .

maybe i should look for a british shop to get it for a more favourable price? but then there is the warranty issue.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

It comes out over here in March, better to just wait it out I'd say.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

probably you are right but there is no confirmation yet by ea or harmonix. i hope its out soon.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

Some cards work some dont i had to get a top up credit card but there are shit loads of song coming out all the time i cant keep up anymore.
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

I paid £65 for the guitar, GH 2 and 3. Not for sale yet I'm afraid. I'm going to keep the guitar for Rock band
 
Re: Rock Band - Harmonix, 360 / PS3

Another Faith No More song today for download (US PS3). 'We Care Alot' - not one of their best, but will still be fun - and hey, its Faith No More, so I dont care!!

I LOVE Faith No More! More Harmonix, more!
