Some potentially bad news has cropped up for folks who like to rawk. Well, it's bad news for folks who like to rawk, who have been waiting for Rock Band, who live in Europe and who don't own an Xbox 360.

It's good news for Xbox 360 owners, however, as rumour has it that MTV/Harmonix/Electronic Arts' Guitar Hero challenger will be released for that platform in May. Other consoles will have to wait until September (that's 'Setembre' in Euros).

Bad news for PS3, PS2 and, it has emerged, Wii owners. If you missed it, John Riccitiello, EA's CEO and director, said in a recent conference call of Rock Band, "But what’s probably the most interesting pieces right now is the coming launch on the Wii".

SPOnG contacted EA for the official line on Rock Band's release date for Europe, but found it very much in the air. "We don't have a definite release date", a representative told us. The rep wouldn't even commit to the assertion of Warren C. Jenson (EA's CFO, executive VP and chief administrative officer) during the aforementioned conference call that, "We now expect Rock Band to ship in Europe in Q109". The only concrete fact SPOnG was given by the rep was, "It will be after April 1st".
