If you don't have Rock Band... what the hell are you waiting for?

*Downloading Boston pack as we speak*

@Lemming To The Sea: I'm not waiting for anything. I'm just not interested in a game that is nothing more than a glorified Simon.

*runs for cover!

@Lemming To The Sea: Or if you live in europe *sigh*

Umm...probably been asked before but is it worth importing??? Live in UK and a tend to buy DLC for my games. If it would definately work (along with DLC) on my PS3 what would I do if the thing broke??? Pedal etc.
Would really like to know? :)

Hey PS3 Too...u know!!

@mywhitenoise:Added! Sheesh!

@Lemming To The Sea: A European release. Hell, even just a date would do. Or even just a month.

My friends and I are wondering which will get a EU date first: Brawl or Rock Band...

@Kazzahdrane: oh god don't mention Brawls release date...that nintendo haven't even said a month is toturing my VERY SOUL

Having spent time on both the EA and the Rock Band forums the one thing that has struck me is the sheer lack of information distributed by EA/Harmonix for a game that has already been released. At this point gamers in the EU/OZ would be happy with a reason for the wait let alone a release date. I just wonder what is to be gained by keeping potential customers, already frustrated by the total lack of information, in the dark this way.

Have any of you ever known a staggered release with as much secrecy as this before?

We're not exactly talking deep discounts here... $22? 13%?
Since I can't even play it at my studio apartment on account of the noise, and since all the DLC I'm going to need total about $50, I'm going to need a little more incentive than that. Anyways, I've played my brother's Rock Band enough times that I can stave off the hunger a bit longer.

...At least until Muse.

@THE Comatose Turtle:
Dunno, I used a 10% off coupon a couple months ago which brought it down like $20 and that was enough for me.

But all the little fees, I've spent about roughly $30 in DLC alone ($40 if I buy the Boston pack) not to mention I had also bought GH2 for like $100 which gave me the second guitar.

So you're looking at about $250 if you want four instruments and add more if you want more songs. To be fair though, it's totally awesome to have Rock Band parties (though by about the 4th or 5th one the song selection wears a bit thin)

@Bearskopff: I'm in Australia and my pedal broke, and I've ordered one of those metal replacements off ebay. I'm a little more worried about the guitar, which seems to have an unreliable strum bar, at best. Sigh. Besides, the UK version is going to be released with extra songs, including hysteria by muse. I think I'm going to have to buy another copy when it comes out over here finally.

mmm.. muse. I want the entire muse back catalog on rock band. not to mention i want that downloadable nin pack. Curse you Australian PSN! CURSEEEE YOOOOUUU!!

@excel_excel: At least you can get the free loader and an imported copy of brawl. There are a few shops around here selling them bundled together. So much delicious brawl. nyom nyom nyom.

@Polite_Society:

Dude there are ways of getting the PS3 Rock Band DLC in Australia. Entropay Virtual Visa card + US PSN account = the goods.

I've got the 360 version and have bought all of the DLC off the US Marketplace using points cards purchased from the States.
