November 20th

GameStop is guaranteeing that those who order the game and pay for overnight shipping will receive it "on the street date of Tuesday, November 20."


I still don't 100% believe it, although gamestop seems to think so.

I think they say that for most games don't they? Basically they guarantee games that are pre-ordered by a certain time to be there by the release date.

I think that will change when Harmonix actually releases the official date if it is different than Nov. 20th.

I think gamespot just took those words and cleverly placed them out of context.

They aren't so bright

Is it possible to order the game & "instruments" from Gamestop for us that don't live in the US?

You should be able to order it, shipping might cost you a pretty penny, and I don't think Xbox is region free, but I think PS3 is.

I wish all the video game media would stop speculating and just F****** wait until someone that knows what the hell their talking about gives a date and price.

I have a PS3, so that's not a problem, but I thought there was a rule about not shipping games between continents.... but maybe not.

The further way it is from GH3 the better for me, but I really want the game to come out soon

I have imported a few PS3 games and blu-ray movies from the U.S with no problems.. Sony wouldn't have made PS3 games region free if they didn't want you to import.

as mentioned the only thing to think about would be the cost of importing it.. i looked into importing GH3 with guitar for PS3 and it was around £52 for the game/guitar and £32 Shipping due to the size and weight of the box so your looking at £85 in total.. so you can only imagine the cost to ship the full Rock band bundle. although it would most likely work out the same as getting it in the UK knowing how high VAT and everything else is here.

I believe they are just saying that if you order it you will get it on the day its supposed to come out. They speculate that its coming out on Nov 20th but they don't. If you order it in full and it comes out earlier, you will get it then. I work for EB Games and our computers say Nov 6th now. I don't know why but it gets me damn excited knowing that its coming out 14 days earlier, that is, if its true.

But it's only the games that are region free - the movies aren't...

its ridiculous and gut wrenching to see the release dates teeter back and forth. the other day i saw toys r us had a printable 20% coupon online good on games, just not consoles so i thought hey 20% off the bundle would be excellent. well no bundle up yet (i guess they wanted to avoid a best buy, lol, especially with no confirmed pricing)

they did however have the $59.99 disc only ps3 version listed with an actual UPC. and the release date is listed as 11/6. take it for what it's worth.

I could care less about the street date, as long as it comes this year
I'm a happy clam!
