Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Was just looking at the release schedule for BT Games, and I saw Rock Band 2 scheduled for release on 24 August, pre-order now for R549 :)
Link here for Xbox. PS3 versions also available.
Rock Band Beatles also available to pre-order.
(and yes, I know you could order RB2 locally from some websites but they were horribly expensive)

That's awsome! All it needs now is a pc port and then everyone will be happy! (I know it won't happen but I can dream right?)

Was just looking at the BT Games release schedule again. I see Guitar Hero 5 will be released locally on 27 November even though I think it will be released in September overseas?

:o
*places order*

Can you use a guitar hero controller to play Rock Band?
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Yes. Almost all controllers are compatible between Rock Band and Guitar Hero games on the same platforms.
Here's a complete compatibility chart:
[EDIT] Hmm, there's an error there - the Ion Drum Rocker does work in GH:W. Well, definitely on 360, anyway. My sister has one.

Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
There are a few errors on that chart, actually. The PS3's received a patch that improves its compatibility for one (this chart is basically only for people with access to PSN), and, as far as I know, some combinations are just outright incorrect. The reference on ScoreHero is more accurate, confirmed where noted, and covers a wider range of platforms/combinations.
That said, as far as I know, Rock Band 2 works with all guitars currently available, and most of the drums/other peripherals. For other instruments, your short answer is yes if you're on xbox, and maybe (though probably yes) if you're on other platforms.

Getting this. I was tempted to get the Classics Guitar Hero but I took a stand and refused to support the blatant milking of the franchise. I mean I have every guitar hero except for the first one.... surely I'm not missing out on that much. Or am I?
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Xbox version has been delayed making me a very sad puppy :< . Apparently BT games did send emails out but for some reason I never got one. They're not sure when the stock will arrive. If anyone does find out the dates, please post them here.
Also, this didn't affect the PS3 version for some reason.
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Crap :P
Gives me bit more time to save up some monies though.
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
New email this morning puts the ETA for the 31st August (ie: monday). Not getting my hopes up though, but I'll be rushing off to BT on monday anyways.
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Take2 listed it as 7 September, but for your sake I hope you can get it Monday :)
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Glad you people are finally joining us in the RB fold. I foresee many a Live matchup.
LIVING ON A PRAYER!
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
I've actually practically spent September's paycheck already so I won't be getting live til after November (exams) when I have more time and (hopefully) more monies :D In the mean time, gotta practice! :POriginally Posted by Cleric
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
I am glad EA "het hulle sokkies opgetrek" and finally got round to getting RB2 for us locally
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Well it'll be good to have you back. (don't you create a new account everytime to get a free month anyway? I swear I've got at least 2 for you)
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
:P I did that just when I was playing a borrowed copy of Gears 2 to finish the Co-op campaign. But I decided I liked my second tag more so that'll be my main account (and the account for which I'll buy Live). You're welcome to delete the older one ;)
Also, talking about GOW2, I should have my own copy after my trip to rAge (compliments of Zakeroph).
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
Another Monday, another RB2 delay. This time they're hoping it'll be here by Wednesday, but I'm not holding my breath.
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
^^^
I just got an email from kalahari.net saying they have copies ready to go; it's on 24 hour delivery too. What's up with BT? :/
Re: Rock Band 2 - Available locally at last
BT Games has the PS3 version in stock, but for some reason the Xbox version has been delayed.
