UK Rock Band 2 release comment, "a misunderstanding"
UK gamers, you might want to take a seat for this one. Speaking with Eurogamer, EA has stated that there has been a misunderstanding regarding the UK release of Rock Band 2.
"There was a misunderstanding and there is no confirmed date for Europe," an unnamed spokesperson from EA told Eurogamer. Yesterday we reported an unnamed EA rep hinted at a possible simultaneous release for the upcoming title.
Currently the only confirmed release information for the recently announced sequel is the title's Xbox 360 timed-exclusivity for a Stateside launch sometime in September. Could Rock Band 2 also suffer from a late release throughout North America much like the original which launched in December 2007 in Canada? Only time will tell. More information regarding the title is expected at E3 which kicks off on July 14.

You would think they would try to make up for the ABYSMAL release of RB1 outside of the US with RB2.
This annoys the hell out of me.

i'm quite happy actually:)
because, it will now probably come out next year (hopefully) during a time when not LOADS of other games come out, such as at the end of this year.
plus this gives me more time to play ghwt and gears:)

That's Rockaway Beach by the Ramones in the picture. I'm probably stating the obvious but you can turn this comment light gray if it's already been said.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Damn it. I was really looking forward to it.
Plus this makes my story from yesterday pointless :(
haha, i'll get over it. I don't think many people would be happy about a sequel coming out so soon, and also PS3 owners would be pretty pissed that the Xbox has a sequel a mere month after they get the original.
