Rock Band 2 hits the stage in November?

by JC Fletcher { Aug 4th 2008 at 3:43PM }

The particular retailer whose database has spilled this info isn't named, but it's a rental/sales chain, and it's not Hollywood Video. If this is to be believed, the Wii version of Rock Band 2 is coming out on November 18th, two months after the Xbox 360 version, and one month after the PS3 version. We've known that it would be a bit late since the initial announcement.

Of course, we should be outraged, but given the situation with the last Rock Band, we should be thrilled that it's only coming out two months after the 360 version. We'll reserve the full breadth of our enthusiasm until we hear how much content will be missing.

I'm gonna get it for 360. Its comming out eariler, DLC, Xbox Live, and the rest of my friends are going to have it.

I concur. If you happen to have both consoles, it's the only way to go.

All the more reason to pick up Guitar Hero: World Tour...

I think Harmonix has learned from it's mistakes this time and will try to make Rock Band 2 just as good as it's next-gen brethren to compete with Guitar Hero World Tour.

Still getting for 360 though. Considering I've download upwards of 40 songs.

If Rock Band has all the features as the 360/ps3 versions, I'll pick this up. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for GH:WT to drop down in price before getting that instead. (no point paying full price for crappy note charts, but I *do* love me some plastic drums)

the guitar note charts are brilliant...

Hafk @ Aug 4th 2008 5:57PM

Yeah, Neversoft is really learning how to chart now. Just watch the videos of the Guitar Virtuoso DLC. Those are perfect!

Very nice info. I know that data screen well, it belongs to Blockbuster Video.

Tann @ Aug 4th 2008 5:24PM

guitar hero will be out by then, most probably..

tweek @ Aug 4th 2008 7:24PM

RB1 wii still not out in europe, still not even a release date.

I now have only contempt for harmonix/ea.

Looks like GH:WT for me.

I'm assuming that this is a Blockbuster computer, if that is the case, that date is probably not accurate. I know that the local Blockbusters don't get video games until a week or two after they are released. So if that is also how they are listed in their system, the release date could be earlier in November.
