According to the duo, the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band will be the lead SKU in these territories, shipping on July 24, with other fake instrument flavors arriving sometime later in the fall. As with the existing European release, the disc will include all 58 tracks found on the North American version as well as nine non-English tunes such as Die Toten Hosen's Hier Kommt Alex, Oasis' Rock 'n' roll star, and Playmo's New Wave. We welcome our new friends to the stage -- may you never fail out and your fingers never cramp.

Akiba for the lose.

I'm pretty sure Oasis' "Rock 'N' Roll Star" is in English.

Being an Australian, I'm disappointed to not see Australia on the list. :(
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 10:23PM
Yahtzee?
Hafk @ Jul 14th 2008 10:27PM
Of course its Yahtzee, there is only one Australian.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 10:44PM
Yahtzee killed them all? Wow There can only be one.

Shit, I must be some kind of Australian Zombie then. RAD!
Anyways, as an importer of Rock Band I don't mind. As a friend of people who want Rock Band and complain about not having it, I mind.

I'm disappointed that RB1 still doesn't have a UK release date on the PS3.
Seriously Microsoft, stop with the fucking timed exclusives.

Australia cries as guitar hero continues to have releases in Australia but Rock Band doesn't.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 14th 2008 10:20PM
Just in time to be replaced with RB2.
Suckers.

Belgians girls are hot.
[.sm0ke.] @ Jul 14th 2008 10:37PM
Why are you still using a screenshot from a few months before Rock Band was released? It doesn't look like that...
burgerbat @ Jul 15th 2008 1:24AM
I think that might be a screen from RB2. Not sure though...
[.sm0ke.] @ Jul 15th 2008 10:39AM
Nope. That was from Rock Band 1 before they made Rockaway Beach downloadable content and put Blitzkrieg Bop in the game instead.
Cheapo @ Jul 14th 2008 10:41PM
Still no Australia, I concur, screw Rock Band.
Mark @ Jul 14th 2008 11:20PM
Lol if anyone heard an oasis song you'll know they're English unless you're stupid. I hope you're joking Tiptup or that's just sad they don't sound American at all the singer has an English accent.
Ben Walters @ Jul 15th 2008 5:27AM
And still Australia gets SCREWED!!!!! :o(
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jul 15th 2008 12:36AM
No word on an Aussie release makes me feel like a dingo without a baby. :(
TheBard @ Jul 15th 2008 2:20AM
This is ridiculous. The US release of Rock Band 2 in the US is only a few months away. Looks like they have just found some countries to sell the old stuff.
And because RB2 will surely be as region locked as RB1, at least for the xbox, we cannot import the title here in Europe.

As an Austrailan I can only continue to be disgusted. EB games is selling accessories for a game that may never come to Australia!
daniel @ Jul 15th 2008 7:35AM
as long as they spoke english, french or german wouldnt people who really wanted rock band have bought it already

I actually was surprised in the US version they didn't include Detroit, which used to have the nickname Detroit Rock City. Although I guess they are more recently know for unleashing Eminem, ICP and ugh Kid Rock then their past of The Stooges, Alice Cooper and MC5.
