Harmonix and Electronic Arts have today finally announced a release date for Rock Band 2. You know, it’s that game that America has been playing for weeks. The release gap isn’t quite as brutal as it was with the first Rock Band, at least, with the game slated for November 21 launch.
Yet again, this will be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360, with no word yet on the PlayStation 3 and Wii versions of the game. That’s sure to make Sony and Nintendo fans very happy.
The game will retail for £500,000.
