Rumour

RewiredMind have reportedly spoken to an EA insider who confirmed that Rock Band will be released in the UK and Europe for the PS3, PS2 and Xbox 360 on March 6, 2008. No details regarding the price, or an Australian release date were mentioned.

If there’s truth to the rumour, importing the game will suddenly look a whole lot more appealing for PAL PS3 owners - with the standalone PlayStation 3 version of Rock Band readily available for dirt-cheap on eBay, and the game’s new-found compatibility with PS3 Guitar Hero III Les Paul controllers meaning anyone with any old USB microphone and a Les Paul can play two-thirds of the game for now and pick up the drum kit once they are available separately. I’d put money on it costing less than the PAL bundle all up, too.
