Rumour: Euro Rock Band 360 in May, no PS3/PS2 until autumn
35
Someone over at Neogaf "got a memo" saying that Harmonix's Rock Band has finally got a release date and price for Europe.
Unfortunately for all you PS3 and PS2 owners, it seems that 360 gamers will get it on May 22, while you'll all have to wait until autumn.
The game was rumoured last week for a May release.
While details surrounding the game's European release have been locked up tighter than a nun's pants, we have been told by a 'second' highly reliable source that the announcement would be "big news": if that platform split's true, we can see why.
Details are as follows...

So many other rumours saying May too, we even reported one last week.
We've also heard from other, unfortunately unnamed sources, that the announcement will be "big news" so that kind of validates it even more.
I wonder what the hold up on the PS versions could be? MS money?

1.2 - Amazon UK
Well after checking Amazon.co.uk, the PS3 version is out on May 9th for £39.99 which is cheap considering it should include the Guitar, Drums and Microphone, unless it is Game Only.
The X360 version on the other hand has no release date yet, and you can only sign up for notification.
So I'm guessing this is all just speculation. I'm hoping for the X360 version in May as I will be buying it for that rather than my PS3 just because of my American friends having it on X360, plus the X360 get the tracks 2-3 days earlier than the PS3 version. Not much, but still.
My only guess why they'd be a delay on the PS3 version would be due to the wireless Bluetooth controllers, whereas the X360 version will probably ship with wired controllers like the GH controller.

Relax. Many things point to this being true if you've been following the news for the past few days.
it's not as though the rumour is about a Halo 4 release date is it? There are several rumours saying May and there's been a price rumour. Also, as I said in the article, we've been told by other people within the industry that when the game is announced there'll be some "big news", so it all fits.

4.1 - The prospect of selling consoles
to people who want the game, can't wait but don't have the system. It's also means more software sales for that system if, people who own both consoles just get the game for the console in which it comes out on first.
Does it benefit the game dev's/publisher? That all depends on the deal being made for that time period of exclusivity.

5 - This just
Boasted the Xbox 360 user base in Europe for a week summer in software. Wow...just wow...If the sales of the game here in the states, along with the music content downloads on Xbox Live show anything. The British invasion is going to be crazy! Plus the rumor that Beatles songs may come to the game...Microsoft is going to see a huge spike. Looks like that price drop is on time for both GTA4 and now Rock Band...Smart move

There's no reason for them to delay it on PS3. PS3 sells better in Europe.

That on the board vg247 got this, he only said "he got a memo".
Not sure why they would delay a PS3 version for no reason...though I don't have to worry...I live in the states and already have Rock Band.

Funny enough, I could have just imported it from America for PS3 for a lot cheaper than it will cost in Europe for 360, you know, because it's region free?

The problem is that I always hear problems with the instruments breaking, if the hardware was decent, I'd do it in a moment, just too many reports of breaking drums and guitars cutting out.

First, this is a rumor. Second, it's possible that MS paid for this since the 360 is losing badly against the ps3 in Europe. With the pricecut, it still got outsold for almost 2 to 1 XD.

If microsoft does that wouldnt that be against the law...unfair buisness practices....No i think the better explanation is the developers are having problems with the ps3 like almost every game thats multi platform. Also I dont think rockband will have as much a impact as you think on the console war.

Well MS has already broken many laws, so I don't know why you are so surprised about the possible bribe that MS intitated. Also, I am saying that it's possible, so it's only a speculation. I actually agree with you that it won't have a big impact on the console sales, but considering that MS is losing steam in Europe so fast, it may have to do "something" other than the price cut.
