england is getting the game much later then America, japan and so on, should europe get something more? like a double bass pedal?(i wish) or a certain amount of songs free? what do you think?

Most likely we Europeans won't get anything extra for waiting.
Though if we did, I'd very much like a small amount of DLC-songs for free.

No, come on guys thats crazy. Should Americans get extra stuff in My Sing Star because we get that game later.

I wouldn't mind if you did.

Though I neither think or hope to death that we Europeans get anything extra. If we did, I'd like it, if we didn't, I wouldn't mind.

I hate Europe.

:) Just kidding, but I don't really care if you guys do or don't, since it won't affect us here in the states.

You get your own advantages from time to time--we had to wait a few months for Mario Strikers Charged, for example. And all the Singstar games, as noted above--the Singstar titles having a better song selection because the U.S. karaoke game maker was too busy with GH2 and Rock Band :)

I suggest a coupon for a free teeth cleaning to be included w/ every British bundle:D

Maybe get some DLC a week or two earlier than the US to make up for it?

No region should get exclusive content, in my opinion.

Sounds fair to me.

Hell no. No exclusive content or features anywhere.

I agree, if you don't want to wait. Hop on a plane and come over to my house! I'm gonna have a RB party when it comes out! :)

They shouldn't get more or less, they should just get it at the same time as us.

I'd prefer the coupon you guys will be getting. I'm hungry, I could do with a McDonalds.

Because they have to translate it to all the European languages. German, French, Spanish, etc.

but england speaks english and i've noticed they get it same time as all the other euro countries that need translations.

Didn't they say in an interview that it will come to England late because if it came out here at the same time as the US, they would find it too difficult to mass produce so many instruments. Whilst I do find it really annoying that we have to wait, I understand their reason.

I'd like to get something extra because of the lateness but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't.

They should do what GH3 is doing, give some region specific songs to the U.K.

Yep, that's the reason. Translating the text in other languages is an easy task in comparisson.

It'd be awesome if the game shipped with all the release DLC content already out in the US. I dunno how much that would be pushing the limits of a regular DVD though.

Isn't it possible that England will get the extra on-disc songs that Europe is already getting? This thread just confuses me.

As far as i'm aware the UK is getting bonus Regional Content for both the disc and DLC, just as the rest of Europe will be.

As for the release in 08 no official reason has been given as to why but a strong possibility could be making sure enough controllers etc meet demand.. i doubt it's language translation rock band isn't really text heavy and most Europeans if you ask them can and will read English if it means not waiting longer for the game.. there is the need for the whole NTSC-PAL conversion for those with out HD TVs but again i wouldn't think it takes that long to do, so my money is on the controllers which is Ok with me nothing could be worse than releasing at the same time as the U.S only to find that there isn't enough controllers.

I'm happy with half the ppl in the US missing out so the rest of the world gets a chance too.

All the die hard RB fans on these boards would pre-order and secure a bundle, it'd only be the casual gamers missing out.

Some free DLC would be nice. Giving exclusive content (even if it's a timed exclusive) would be a bad idea.
