Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of dumb to have this game drop on a Sunday? I mean, this game is like, the ULTIMATE party game. If you're gonna release it on an off day, why not Friday or Saturday? How am I supposed to have a drunken Rock Band 2 party at my place on a Sunday night? Now I have to wait a whole week for that... boooo!

Look at it this way - you can spend the week unlocking all the songs, and have them all available to play when your shindig actually goes down.

If you are a hardcore RB fan I suggest that you try to get the game early. I read on the official Rock Band developer blog that they have special battle of the bands challenges for people who get the game before Sunday. And since these one-time challenges stay on your "permanent record" you'll have bragging rights (if that sort of thing floats your boat)

I purchased mine from gameplay down the block from my house today. Its a good upgrade from one I like the new video type effects they use on some of the songs like beck and some of the 80's tunes

I'm gonna look around tomorrow night, most stores around here sell stuff as soon as they get it.
Mercs 2 was sold out before it came out.
However, I work at Musician's Friend and we're scheduled to get it in on the 15th, so hopefully we get it early...
Oddly enough we're scheduled to get the "Special Edition" on the same date. I hope that's true.

Gamestop in St. louis has the Mad Katz Bass out already. It's a big sucker... Also i noticed on all the preorder pagers that best buy has the drums for 79.99 not 89.99

It also shows the guitar for 79.99 which is ten bucks more then what it is listed for on amazon.

Was at Future Shop today in Ottawa and there was a box full of them sitting beside the checkout line. Picked one out and tried to check out with it but their computer system came back with a message which said, "Do not sell until September 14th".
Too bad--the cashier tried to ring it through so obviously had no idea it wasn't ready for release yet.

Same thing happen to me at Circuit City & Wal-Mart today. Both stores had them out on display, but the register wouldn't ring it up. The manager at CC knew it wasn't supposed to be out yet, and was pissed it was on display.
