PS2 - Rock Band - Rumour: Euro Rock Band 360 in May, no PS3/PS2 until autumn Someone over at Neogaf "got a memo" saying that Harmonix's Rock Band has finally got a release date and price for Europe.

Unfortunately for all you PS3 and PS2 owners, it seems that 360 gamers will get it on May 22, while you'll all have to wait until autumn.

The game was rumoured last week for a May release.

While details surrounding the game's European release have been locked up tighter than a nun's pants, we have been told by a 'second' highly reliable source that the announcement would be "big news": if that platform split's true, we can see why.

Details are as follows...

Music Downloads: More Total for Guitar Hero 3, But More Per Capita for Rock Band N4G
PS2 News from N4G | Rock Band
PS2 - Rock Band - Music Downloads: More Total for Guitar Hero 3, But More Per Capita for Rock Band Ben Fritz of Variety writes: "On the earnings call, Publishing President Mike Griffith said Activision has sold over five million song downloads for "Guitar Hero 3" on Xbox Live since the game launched. Recall that "Rock Band" has sold 2.5 million.

Of course, given that EA/MTV have sold 1.5 million copies of "Rock Band" in the U.S., compared to 6.5 million for "Guitar Hero 3," it appears that on a per capita basis, it's advantage: "Rock Band."

(One caveat: the vast majority of "Rock Band" units were for PS3 and 360, while many copies of "Guitar Hero III" were PS2 and Wii, which don't offer downloadable content. And Activision didn't include PS3 stats, for whatever reason. It's not clear how close the margin is just in terms of 360 owners.)"
