Rock Band 2
Want more Rock Band? It doesn’t matter what your answer is actually because you’re getting it anyway. Harmonix, MTV and EA announced Rock Band 2 is set to release this September for the Xbox 360 and other platforms. Yes, that’s this September as in 3 month from now. At least Xbox 360 owners will enjoy a few months of exclusive bliss although I’m not sure who really cares. Rock Band 2 won’t hit other platforms until after the Xbox 360’s release.
“Microsoft has been a great partner throughout the launch of Rock Band in the last year and their continued support is instrumental in supporting the more advanced features and cross title compatibility we will have in Rock Band 2,” a Harmonix representative told IGN. “Of course, our goal is to make Rock Band 2 accessible to all and we look forward to bringing Rock Band 2 to all relevant platforms later this year.”
I know this was no surprise to anyone but I’m actually surprised it’s going to be released so soon. I hadn’t heard anything until now and just like magic, it’s only 3 months away. Harmonix says that things have been vastly improved. The good thing for Rock Band DLC buyers is that it’ll all be playable with Rock Band 2. And there are even hints at cross-platform sharing?
Prepare for a true battle of the bands this year with Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2. Get ready to rock (some more). Which will you choose?

@ lawl/no hands
Does that mean it will be better? No.
I’m happy, I am proud to say I am a DLC whore.
140 songs ftw, now in rock band 2 I’ll have 200+
Rock Band > Guitar Hero.

i don’t know if t will be better, but they’ve got a big chance of that yes, because guitar hero world tour can look at rockbands, make it better and release it, before even the old 1 year old rockband comes out here. hell i dont even know if i would buy rockband just because they made me freaking wait so long.

I love Rock Band. Guitar Hero feels like a joke after playing Rock Band. Nice to see it’s exclusive at release too.

Usually I would say they both suck and are gonna cost to much, so I totally don’t care. I have a job now so I can afford things!
Now I’m interested….. XD

I can’t deny - I was extremely surprised at how soon it’s coming out too! IT feels like it only came out a couple months ago, and the next one’s knocking the door down. :s
Oh well! This makes me feel a little better about not having Rock Band just yet. I’ll get RB2 and the updated instruments.
YAY!
