Rock Band 2 Will Arrive To The PS3 A Month After The 360 Release

tidus04 | August 05, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3

According to the main image (->) it is speculated that the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band 2 will arrive in stores on September 14th whilst the Playstation 3 owners will have to wait over a month later at a date of October 19th.. whilst in addition the Nintendo Wii owners will have to wait an additional month on November 18th.

We already know that Rock Band 2 is going to make its debut on the Xbox 360 before any other console. However, we’ve gotten no word on just how long we’ll have to wait before it is released on the PS3 and Wii. However, thanks to a few snapshots from a retailer, we may have a better idea.

According to the screens, we can expect the Xbox 360 version to hit stores on September 14th. The PS3 owners will have to wait just over a month for their October 19th release, while Wii owners won’t see it until November 18th.

I’m actually a bit relieved to hear that the PS3 version is only a month behind. There was some speculation that Microsoft might have paid for a several-month exclusive, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. For the disappointed Wii owners, the two month wait isn’t nearly as bad as the last time around.

Not personally in a rush for this game but it seems to be a common theme. Actually i'm not too surprised.

Is this game really that bug for Microsoft to be making deals like this? I really wouldn't expect it to move any systems.

  Considering the cost of the instruments they would be lucky if anyone could even afford both the game and a console.

    All previous instruments are compatible with Rock Band 2 and they do sell the game by itself.

      Yes, but we are of course assuming this imaginary person doesn't have a console. So they wouldn't have even the RB instuments.
      
      Rockband 1 or 2 will never be a system seller because it is to expensive to get the game itself. Adding the additional cost of a console on top of it would be rather prohibitive.
