Rumor: Europe's Rock Band rollin' onto PS3, PS2 and Wii Aug. 29

Damn. I've got to wait three whole months not to buy this game?

PS3 version is region free.

Apparently nobody gives a flying fadoo about the other versions.

So in conclusion, nothing of value is lost.

Should be a shot in the arm in a territory that is critical for the 360's worldwide performance

Secure in America, Japan is a lost cause, they need Europe

Didn't PS3 owners already sell a kidney so they could afford the console?

Poor old Xbox360 saps. £180. I bought my region-free PS3 version and had it shipped to UK 3 months back, and it cost me £130 including postage from the US.

Sorry for the noob question (I'm not really), but do I have this correct:

I can have the total Rock Band package shipped to me from America to here in the UK, and it will work fine on a European PS3?

How about when the game actually gets released - will I then be able to have access to the DLC and multiplayer in the european store and PSN, or will I need an American credit card or something to set up a US account?

And if I do have to use an US PSN account, will I then be able to play with my friends on the european servers?

"Either way, there's still plenty of time for non-Xbox "Either way, there's still plenty of time for non-Xbox 360 owners to sell a kidney (remember, keep at least one!) to afford the game."

Although if most sensible 360 owners in 'Europe' refuse to bye this at its current price, then maybe by the time it releases on other consoles there may have been a miraculous "price restructure".

n.b. I'm sure it has been stated many times before but 'Europe' does not consist of only 6 countries ;)

I hate EA. They claim to be platform agnostic, then they hire Microsoft executives and give a high-profile game a 1/4 year exclusivity. Not to mention the half-assed job they did with FIFA and The Orange Box.

Not hating on the 360, but seriously EA: There are PS3 owners out there too, you know? In fact, the PS3 has been doing really well in Europe. Cut the crap. Start showing that you're not an unimaginative, biased, complacent, employee-harassing monolith.

I feel kinda silly now, I brought Band in a Box for £100 and the game for £40 (total £140) from amazon the other day for 360 PAL =/
I didn't know that the NTSC PS3 version worked on PAL PS3 systems! >.< AND my sister lives in the US!!!

The only thing thats stopping me from canceling my order is the not knowing if I can play online and get DLC =(

Even though I saved like £50, my sister could have sent it to me for like £100 tops with p&p.
