Release date for European Rock Band yanked
Posted April 15th, 2008 at 3:11am
The story is pretty simple, really: First, Electronic Arts said that Rock Band - their massively popular multi-player music game - would be released in Europe on August 29 for Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and Wii. As a side note, The Xbox 360 version is slated to hit shelves on May 23, which would have given them a roughly 3-month jump on the other platforms. Then today EA changed their minds and said that the PS2/PS3/Wii versions of Rock Band wouldn't be released in Europe on August 29th after all, citing that a mistake in the fact sheet. So (to recap): The European Xbox 360 version of Rock Band will be out May 23, the PS2/PS3/Wii versions at some other, yet-unspecified date. Glad we got that cleared up. Other details seem to be unchanged: Rock Band is reportedly going to be sold with the drum kit, guitar, and microphone controllers for GBP 129.99 / EUR 169.99. That clocks in at a whopping $350 USD (approximately), which is glaring when you consider that the kit sells for $169 in North America. Or you could put that $350 USD into instrument lessons.

The Ant Commandos are a manufacturer who, today, showed off lots of new Rock Band and Guitar Hero peripherals for the Playstation 2 and 3... including a wireless bass guitar and a pack of two wireless mics. According to Ant Commandos, "All of our Guitar controllers are designed to provide 100% 4-in-1 compatibility, even down to the most minute features, with Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3 and Rock Band for both the PS2 and PS3 platforms". They're also releasing a PS2/PS3 guitar adapter to make the PS2 guitars work for both games on the PS3.Guitar Hero, playstation 2, Playstation 3, ps2, ps3, rock band, the ant commandos

Rock Band: Enter the Crüe
Posted April 14th, 2008 at 9:01pm
If you were listening to pop and rock in the 80's then your life, like mine, has in some way been touched by a music legend... and that legend's name is Motley Crüe. Their heyday may be 25 years behind us now, but they're bringin' The Dirt to Harmonix' Rock Band this week when their song, "Saints of Los Angeles" is made available as downloadable content. You'll be able to get it Tuesday on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 80 MS points. The Playstation version follows this Thursday for $0.99. Saints of Los Angeles is off their upcoming album, The Dirt, which you'll be able to get for yourself in June when Gen X'ers all over the world will be Shouting at the Devil. (See what I did there?)
