Rumour is because there is no French on the packaging. Damn it to hell.

Can't you just order it from a US retailer?

That would make you pretty popular with your friends for sure. They will never leave.
I'll just continue with my real rock band until the game comes out. But then its time to tell the boys they've been replaced

normally i'd be more mad, but with so many games out right now I'm going to need the extra time. EB was taking pre-orders, but not sure if they still are.

i preordered at eb games. their price was $170 but they wouldn't confirm that price until delivery. i'm watching other online retailers in case they allow pre orders "just in case".

I've read a lot of things saying that there could be a shortage until the New Year (referring to the US). This could just be a bunch of talk to hype up sales, who knows? I was going to go down to the USA on Tuesday but I get the feeling since all these places stopped taking pre-orders, I might not find one.

Damn it all. Looks like I'm going to Bellingham to look for it. Does anybody know any American stores that I'm missing to look for this? So far I've come up with:
Best Buy
EB games
Game Stop
Toys R Us
Wal Mart (shudder)
Target
Sears
Circuit City
I can't believe people are paying $400 for these on ebay!

i read an article yesterday which said that eb would try to fill their presales in canada, but after that they wouldn't get any more games until 2008.
i think the americans are mad because we can buy the 170 USD game for 89.95 CAD. hehheh

In other news, people might actually buy real instruments and learn how to make their own music.
I don't understand this whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band fad.

Obviously you don't. Its a video game. Just like people play sports games, shooting games, or any kind of game. Should they all just do the real thing instead?
I play guitar and see nothing wrong with enjoying these types of games. Its called fun.

I actually agree. Sports and shooting games are different. It's hard for any of us average Joes to be professional athletes and score 3 goals in an NHL game. It's illegal for any of us to shoot zombies in the head or be the Master Chief.
I could go pick up a guitar and learn a nice little skill though.

Fry's Electronics (not sure if they have that in Washington, but it's a chain electronic store in California). It's CHEAP and has everything except for good tech support..when it comes to a game though, who needs tech support
