Yesterday, Kotaku reported on some leaked release dates for all upcoming versions of Rock Band 2. We did a little legwork this morning (i.e. walked into a GameStop and asked for a release list) and were able to find even more details on the alleged release dates.
GameStop is currently listing that Rock Band 2 (disc only) for the Xbox 360 is street dated for September 14. The special edition bundle (presumably containing the new guitar and new drum kit) has a street date of October 19, which is the same day the standalone disc and bundle is street dated for the PlayStation 3.
Bad news for Wii and PlayStation 2 owners, though, as they’ll have to wait for November 18 for both the bundle and the standalone disc. One could speculate that this hand-in-hand release for both consoles means that Wii owners may once again be getting a swift, sloppy port of the likely stripped down PS2 title.
It also looks like Rock Band’s retail rival, Guitar Hero World Tour, has a street date — October 26 across all consoles. More after the break.
