Rock Band EU Date announced
Simon | 3:14 AM on 04.08.2008 14 comments


Eurogamer have a story announcing Rock bands EU release date, and it seems it 360 only for the time being, with the other console versions appearing later in the year and the date is 23rd May (looks like my guess was right) and it's said that "We will get the full compliment of existing downloadable tracks on 27th May, too" but this doesn't say if that's for download or if we get them in the box, it also seems that no price has been announced so lets wait and see how badly we get ripped off.

Yay! Great news to wake to! :-D Shame I want it on the PS3 though boooooooooooo!

I think we only get the 9 Euro exclusive tracks in the box (muse, oasis, blur etc) and all the DLC will be available from the marketplace from the get go at 160 points each well so says kotaku at least

Dammit I can't wait for the PS3 version!!

Apparently the price is rumored to be 169.99 Euros or £135 which is a bit cheaper than I was expecting but still pretty heavy hitting on the wallet but then again it is only a rumor.

and May 27th is when new DLC will be coming out in Europe and the US simultaneously by the sound of things

Apparantly now us brits have to fork out £180 for all the instruments and the game. Thats nearly double what you americans pay!

I was looking forward to this but at that price it's just not going to happen. There is no way I'm going to pay £180 for it, madness.

That price is just not on at all. It's import time BABY!!

If it's not import time then it should definitely be boycott time!

I mean for that price you could buy a wii or a 360 arcade which is just fucking stupid! I hope no one buys Rockband now. There's no way a casual gamer will pay that much for it and I hope hardcore gamers will take a stand and tell EA to fuck right off

The annoying thing is, I think EA have priced this relative to how much it will cost to import. I've priced importing up at various sites I know of (I hunt well online) and the minimum I can get (non-ebay) is £170 before shipping. Sure, if you live in Oz you can get it from Play Asia for $250 but Europe is actually going to be having a tough time getting below normal retail on import.

@Glipe:
If that's true then EA are truly being fucking cunts because they are charging us the absolute maximum amount because they know we can't get it any cheaper. That being said the game costs £50, and the bundle breaks down to about £60 for drums, £50 for guitar and £20 for the mic (approximately) which considering current pricing makes sense.....doesn't make it right though....twats.

It's probably more risky but it looks like ebay is the way to go... I know a few people who imported the PS3 version who got a pretty good deal at the time. It's just that the good deals pop up very sporadically so it's just pure luck if you find one. Ultimately it's the shipping that jacks up the price which is a pain in the arse.
