Rock band UK release is 360 timed exclusive

Posted by Ian

We’ve all heard about how much fun Rock Band is from our American cousins who’ve been playing the game for months now. We brits have had to wait paitently on the sidelines and make-do with Guitar Hero. Well no more! (well, for 360 owners anyway).

Yes fans, EA have finally announced the official European release date for Rock Band as May 23rd. However, they’ve also announced that this is only for the Xbox 360 version of the game and that PS3 and Wii owners are going to have to wait a couple more months to get their freak on as the title is a timed exclusive on the 360.

The game will launch with 67 songs included on the disc, including 9 exclusive to the European version. The DLC that has filled up the US Marketplace will then be made available for download here and EA have promised that future DLC releases will be simulataneous for both the US and European markets.
