Rock Band has fast become a huge success since it was released back in November on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. It is a game which is heavily in demand, but it looks as if Rock Band will finally be getting a Wii release. Due to hit US shores on the 22nd June, Nintendo Wii owners will be rewarded for their patience as the Wii will receive 5 extra tracks on the disc that the 360 and PS3 did not have (Although available on DLC) . Some of the bonus material includes ‘Roxanne’ by The Police and ‘Rockaway Beach’ by The Ramones.
In a recent article on Crispy Gamer, they managed to speak to Rock Band producer Matt Kelly, to ask him various questions regarding the future of Rock Band and gave away some hints on what we can expect in future versions. When quizzed about the fact that Guitar Hero had a Aerosmith based game on the way and if Rock Band had anything similar on the horizon he stated, “We’re excited we’ve been able to provide deep musical experiences with specific artists through DLC of full albums. As for future plans, we haven’t announced anything at this time.” He did though however say that developers were “working closely with Metallica” and to stay tuned to hear more announcements on this.
As a resident in the UK I have been questioning why Rock Band has yet to be released on the PS3 over here, considering the fact that it has been out since November in the US, and not a word on the UK release I find a little frustrating. Are there any other UK PS3 owners who feel the same?

Yeah,i feel the same - there is plenty of talk of Euro Pal owners should stop flapping and buy the US version but what about internet account issues for the DLC, so you’d eventually have to get the UK version anyhow unless you intended geting a US account and credit card based on fake US billing address or use a mate’s who lives out there wait for the new PS3 account cards which apparently help with international DLC purchases. Its just ridiculous why we get it on the UK PS3 now. What’s the wait - record lable licencing problems ? I bet the Rock band sales per console will be the UK will be the highest in the world based on how mad we are at SingStar, GH1, 2, 3 etc, so come on milk us for that stupidly high price tag - I know i’ll pay it !!
