Rock Band finally dated for Australia, Satan puts on a wooly jumper.


Mark it on your calendars, start sending out your 80's glam themed NYE party invites, commence your deep knee rock squats. Rock Band will hit Australian store shelves November 7th.

HOO-FUCKING-RAY! We finally have a solid date. Oh, joyous of all days! But the best part so far? The price, which is AU$249.99 for the full bundle, game included. Not too bad compared to $329 for the equivalent Guitar Hero 4 bundle. No word on the pricing or availability of DLC yet. Maybe that will come November next year.....

I still cant help but feel the sting of rejection after waiting for what seems like an eternity for this game to arrive. It also doesn't help that i am sitting here listening to the GWJ podcast talk about playing Rock Band 2. Not 2 as in too or also or as well. 2 as in TWO, the sequel. Its a bit of a kick in the rock nuts.

Which ever way you look at it, its a small win for Aussie gamers, but after what we have had to deal with lately, we will take what we can get. Enjoy it, y'all. And if you want it on launch, you will be heading down to pre order it right now. Seriously. You will NOT get a copy on launch if you don't do it and you're an IDIOT if you think otherwise. Go on, do it! Gooooooooo!
