Each song's difficulty rating, which is already shown for downloadable songs in the in-game Rock Band music store, are finally available in the song selection screen.

Rock Band 2: Website is Live, plus Original Disc Import Information N4G
PS2 News from N4G | Rock Band
PS2 - Rock Band - Rock Band 2: Website is Live, plus Original Disc Import Information Alan Tsang of PS3Fanboy says,

"We mentioned before that Rock Band 2 will allow players to "export most of the Rock Band disc tracks and upgrade them into Rock Band 2 gameplay." Most means not all. So what tracks are excluded? Joystiq got a chance to talk to senior designer Dan Teasdale, who said the final list of importable songs is still up in the air, due to licensing issues. Apparently Harmonix had to re-license all of the tracks from the first Rock Band. Sources are saying the number of songs excluded will probably be around 2 to 3. This is speculated to be caused by the new exclusivity deals with Guitar Hero: World Tour.

The official Rock Band 2 website has also been opened. No new information, but there are a couple of IM icons and wallpaper. The website also allows you to pre-order the game on the Xbox 360 on Amazon, but a quick look around also leads a pre-order for the PS3 version, including the Special Edition which includes the instruments. We did notice the Special Edition is has a release date listed as October 19th while the game by itself has it listed as November 30th, but these dates are probably inaccurate. The 360 Special Edition, which already has a confirmed release date of September, also has the release date listed as October here."

EA denies Rock Band PS3/PS2 September 26 release N4G
PS2 News from N4G | Rock Band
PS2 - Rock Band - EA denies Rock Band PS3/PS2 September 26 release Back when the European launch of the Xbox 360 version was announced the press release stated Rock Band "will be available for additional platforms later this summer", which suggested a release window of June-August.

Online retailer Play.com has now sparked a rumour that non-Xbox 360 gamers will be waiting even longer for Rock Band, listing both the PS3 and PS2 versions for release on September 26.

There's no reason to be too concerned over the release date just yet though. EA told VideoGamer.com: "We haven't had any confirmation on that release date at all. We don't know where that's come from. That's definitely not confirmed."
