Rock Band Dated For Wii, PS3 And PS2 [UPDATE] News

EA reveals a street date for Rock Band on Wii, PS3 and PS2, giving the Xbox 360 version three months of exclusivity...


Following last week's announcement that Rock Band will be a timed exclusive release in Europe for the Xbox 360 this May 23rd, EA has now revealed that the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation 2 versions of the game won't be released until August 29th.

This news was buried at the bottom of an EA press release for the game, which has finally been confirmed for a European release after the title came out in the US 6 months ago.

The August 29th date for the Wii and Sony consoles effectively provides the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band with three months of timed exclusivity.

[UPDATE] Since we went to press with this article, EA has contacted us to say that the release date on this press release was a mistake and no date has yet been confirmed. An ammended press release lists a vague "Later this Summer" date for the three platforms.

I can see alot of ebay shops setting up just importing Rockband to the EU, they will make loads, people get it cheaper and quicker. At the full price EA wants for it the game is a dead duck in the EU.

Activision is being really stupid about all of this. I am betting they are thinking that this kind of game is just a fad or something and is hoping to control the market as much as they can. All I can say about that is look at the whole IBM vs Mac ... [ Read full comment... ]

If this is true, it's only going to hurt Activision for being greedy. If they really thought about it they could have been making a lot of money these last three months while EA sat on their "Deluxe Edition" laurels with a standalone GH3 c... [ Read full comment... ]

This is an incredibly stupid move by Activision. They ARE getting compensated. People will buy one of their controllers to use with RockBand. This is alimited window of opportunity since Rockband standalone instruments are right around the corner (wi... [ Read full comment... ]

Hey first poster, read the article again. It's not sony that is blocking it, it's Activision. There was probably nothing they could do about the xbox version, but since they found they could get money out of it with the ps3 version they're going for ... [ Read full comment... ]
