Australia Has the Right to Rock

Damn, that's pretty expensive... but at about the same cost increase ratio as usual I guess. Regardless, Aussies pay WAY too much to keep their gaming hobby.

Oh...............great

Rock Band 2 to be released in 2010 now that we get the original.

Thanks EA, always looking out for the customers.

Sweet!!!  Gonna have to watch for the Yahtzee review.  = D

Old instruments? no thankyou.

Too little too late.

The one positive is all those who imported it, will now have access to dlc.
 

Marbig: FO SHO!!!

I sent this question to the podcast:

How can Rock Band 1 compete with World Tour in Europe. Rock Band 1 will have 1 or 2 months head start on World Tour here in Europe? They are both the same price and if you pre-order World Tour you get a free 3rd party guitar controller. Rock Band in Europe as a franchise is going to sink faster than the titanic - FACT.

It's a no-brainer as far as I am concerned.

"But the poor Australians; are they the only market to get dicked more than the Europeans?"

Actually no, theres China, a large portion of Asia that ISNT Japan, Brazil, south america, and in fact plenty of places that never see non pirate versions of most games.

Did it really take them 1 year to license them songs? Either way I don't care. I live in Australia and I am annoyed that it took so long but really everything here comes late. 360 took 5 more months upon the USA/Japanese release to finally arrive in Australia.

I can assure you that Rock Band is going to do well though. Australia is filled with noobs that go after whatever is advertised to them.

Aww, you didn't mention us New Zealanders? We're getting it too... Not that I want to, they've screwed me over enough, I was looking forward to it coming out October last year, but one year after? I don't care anymore.

Poor Australians...

I'm just happy it's coming out, that potentially means Rock Band 2 is coming out! Wooo!

Fin BS, we get a game a year old when the new one is out.

For those Aussies about to rock...well, they're a little late to the party. I think it's fair to include both Rock Band 1 and 2 in whatever kind of limited-quantity bundle package they end up getting. As little as I care about Australia, I think that justifies making them wait that long. They're a whole day ahead of the U.S., yet so far behind.

EA doesn't care about black people...or Australia .

That image caption is wonderful.  But the poor Australians; are they the only market to get dicked more than the Europeans?

Does this mean that we have to have the old instruments that they have said themselves have problem?
Why not just give us RB and RB2 together bundled with the RB2 peripherals?
Maybe an Aussie version of the game...I'd love to play some AC/DC, Chisel, Powderfinger, Silverchair, Midnight Oil, Jet, etc.

What they should've done is give us RB2 under the title of "Rock Band". Maybe then I'd consider buying the RB kit, otherwise my plan is for GH: Tould Tour kit with Rock Band software.

If they reliese Rock Band 2, people wont pay full price for Rock Band 1!

Hey it's Kevin Rydd

Rock Band apparently isn't going to get much of a retail showing "down under" though. Some of the JB's and EB's i've talked to said they are only going to stock GH:WT

I can't help but like that EA is losing so much potential revenue for screwing over Australia - but I hope this doesn't make it look like we don't want rhythm games.

Oh, well thats lame why didn't they just belley up ang give them what they deserve GTA4 Bundled with Rock Band2 instead of one :)

well, I am australian and Have been the biggest Rockband fan since it was launched, but they are releaseing 2 weeks before GH4.

But what I am going to do is, get GH4, my friend will get rock band and I will import RB2 (I have a ps3, so luckily I am able to do so)

Weeeeeeeak.
If they did the 2-in-1 then at least the Aussies would have as much plastic crap as everybody else.

Just give them Rock Band 2

What is the excuse now? Be fair man...

Aussies love to rock.
