Finally!

EA has just announced that music game Rock Band 2 will be seeing a release on November 21st in the UK: putting it right up close with rival Guitar Hero: World Tour. Sadly for many this release is only on 360, practically giving Activision the advantage on a silver platter.

Creature and I will be happy, considering our birthday is only 3 days after this

Another 360 timed exclusive?
At least PS3 users can just import it.

Nokkon can you expand on this a little.

I just played through Guitar Hero III and would like something that has more tracks on it and more DLC so I am thinking that Rock Band 2 might be something to look at. However given that it is PS3 exclusive at the launch date would I need RB1 and import the songs. Also can I use the Gibson from GH3 on RB2 and RB ??

So many questions and so little time

All PS3 games are region free, so those who have bought Rock Band 1 in the UK with the instruments can easily just import RB2 and play it with the UK instruments.

Yes, you can use GH instruments on Rock Band 1 and 2, if you get Rock Band (1) you can transfer all your songs from that into Rock Band 2 for a small fee and all DLC bought for Rock Band 1 is playable in Rock Band 2 as well (which isn't the case with the GH games into GHWT).

With the exception of the Metallica album Death Magnetic, that will work in GH3 and GHWT

TBH I won't have the space for a Drum kit. 3 Bedroom house, 1 six year old and another one on the way means no more toys for Loki Singing doesn't really appeal to me as I already have SingStar So I will look into getting RB1 and using the GH III Guitar

The drums aren't permanent, they can be taken apart or even lowered to fit into small cupboards. It's not a case of build them and have them in the way all the time. Drums are undoubtedly the best part of it too. But you could get an Xbox360 for the same price as some instruments and that's where you realise how expensive they are.

Yeah, forgot about that. 1 album still isn't that great though.

I'm really looking forward to buying the drumkit. I've got RB1 but just the game as I couldn't afford the kit. Annoyingly its released just after the NXE update, when my launch day 360 is due to rrod I'm sure
