A quick heads up on the release dates attached to the Aerosmith pack:

Unfortunately, an issue with the release date info wasn't caught during the review process for this media alert and we initially announced the wrong release date for this pack on the Wii. The Aerosmith pack is actually delayed until March 12th on the Wii, both in the US and EU.

The incorrect date should have been caught in the announcement before it was published and we apologize for any confusion that's caused. We've synced up with the DLC team to make sure that future announcements are reviewed more closely and delays are communicated more effectively so we don't see mix ups like this again in the future. Sorry again for the conflicting date info.
