Finally! EA has announced a European release date for Rock Band, assigning its overseas birth to May 23rd. However, in Europe the game will be sold separate from the instruments. The instruments will run you €169.99 along with the game, which is priced at €69.99.
With good news, must come the bad: that’s the release date for the Xbox 360 version.
Wii, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 owners will all have to wait until “summer.” A bit vague, yes, but it’s something we can work with. More bad, unrelated Wii news: all U.S.-released downloadable content will be available at launch, and Europe will have their own exclusive downloadable tracks. Hit the jump for the tracks that will one day be released as DLC on the Wii… I hope.
