A canadian living in australia here.. recently took a trip home in february/08 and played rock band at a friends house… it retails around 169.99 Can, 175.671 AUD.. so that’s not a big deal.. if I got a friend to pick it up for me.. I’m pretty sure he could ship it to me for less than a hundred bucks. So I could pick it up for less than 300 bucks now or wait until september/october here and pay 300+

I'm so glad that I imported my RockBand in dec 07 from the US to UK. It's now not appearing until August/September here and it's going to cost more than the £145 that it cost me including shipping and import tax. I received it several days before Christmas and what a great present it was!

What really annoys me is that there's no regionalisation needed, and surely now they can make enough instruments to supply the other regions????

Import it and enjoy!

apparently you can use something called 'Entro Pay' to circumvent the funding restrictions for the US/UK PSN store.

URL links to a guide to using said service.

as this should allow you to DL the US DLC and as you will have the US version the US DLC should work... (he said hopefully)

I'm with Danmazkin on this one. That corner is looking mighty comfortable for the next few months ... ooo, and I have DMC4 and Burnout Paradise over there.

Good article, thanks Luke! Nice to know some of the options.

Ohnhai: That's a good question--anyone know?

But if you import how do you get your hands on the US DLC ? and will the PAL DLC work with the US game . Guitar Hero’s US DLC wont work with the PAL version
