Microsoft treats its customers very well and are not scared to splash the cash to get a timed exclusive

All the gear is coming out separately. Only the disc is being released in September. Harmonix said that Microsoft made DLC very simple and was making all the DLC from RB1 compatible with RB2, so they decided to give Microsoft a time release exclusive.

i would have to disagree that they treat their customers very well, i've been hung up on a couple times by rude customer service agents, and they released an extended warrenty that only pertained to one specific problem that definetly isnt the only one.

In the UK they haven't even released the original Rock Band on the PS3 yet, whereas the 360 version hit the streets back in May.

It makes sense delaying the European version of RB2 on the PS3 as it would kill any potential sales of the original.

IIRC, RB2 was designed/developed on the 360, then they ported it to the other consoles. I read that Harmonix said it was finished on the 360 so why not get it out there... That is there story.

Because MS paid the developers.

That's not MS's fault. I mean, chances are good customer service people aren't lining up to be part of the team. Also, he was referring to them paying for timed exclusives.

I'm not paying another 160 dollars. I paid for RB and now I just need the disk for over 200 songs seeing as I have downloaded over 60 songs from XBL and everything moves over for 5 dollars.

I don't know... I kinda like talking to someone who can barely speak english and you can make it into a game trying to figure out what the hell they just said to me! When the guy answered when I called in my 360 and said his name was John in a strong accent, I couldnt help but laugh.

Yeah, MS definitely has their ups and downs.
