Rock Band 2 Bundle on Xbox 360 Getting Delayed October Release?

Shacknews reports that while the Rock Band 2 game and individual instruments are set for an exclusive Xbox 360 release on September 14, it now appears that Harmonix's Special Edition bundle will not make it to stores until October 19, a full month later.

The official Rock Band store and retailer GameStop both list the bundle as shipping on October 19--the same day the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Wii versions are set to arrive.

The Special Edition bundle--which includes the microphone, drums, guitar and game disc--costs only $199.99, while the separate instruments and game add up to an MSRP of $249.96.

Many fans who were planning on enjoying the early release while saving money with the bundle are upset about the apparent delay.

"I think it was a mistake to do it this way," said Rock Band community member Pandemonium. "People who were on the fence about whether they should buy the bundle and upgrade their controllers or just buy the game are now less likely to buy the bundle.. I think they are going to lose money."

The first Rock Band instruments originally shipped only in bundle form, with the separate peripherals arriving in stores months after the initial release.

Shacknews has contacted developer Harmonix, publisher MTV, and distributor Electronic Arts for comment, but has not yet received a reply.

The Xbox 360 gets this game earlier, but will have to pay $250 if they want all the instruments. But if most people already own the instruments, then its not a big deal. But I will be getting it for the PS3 for $200, when the bundle is released.

No i dont like it,there you go i have confessed.
But when you say your buying the drums and all that does that mean what i think you mean?
Can you play the game with the drums and all that?
I know you can play with a guitar but not a drum.

If you havent played them yet, you should give it a try, the game is really fun if you like Rock music. You will have so much fun playing with it. If you have friends that like Rock music, its so much more fun with friends.

It all depends on which one you are more comfortable with. Like, I cant stand Guitar Hero, it just feels weird. I feel comfortable with Rock Band. So I'm getting Rock Band
