Jacob. Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 USA Today posted an article one hour ago. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2010/03/green-day-rock-band-launching-in-june/1 MTV Games and studio Harmonix will release a version of Rock Band featuring the group Green Day on June 8 for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the publisher announced. Green Day: Rock Band will feature 47 songs from the trio's catalog, and all tracks can be imported into Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and the upcoming Rock Band 3. The instrument-free music game will sell for $49.99 on Wii and $59.99 on PS3 and Xbox. MTV Games will also release a version, Green Day: Rock Band Plus, which includes the six Green Day songs currently available for download on the Rock Band music store. Similar to 2009's The Beatles: Rock Band, players can review the band's history in the single-player portions of the game, collecting pictures and unlocking rare video from interviews, outtakes and live performances. And like most Rock Band titles, the game is compatible with older instruments, including those made by Activision rival Guitar Hero.
Rebel07 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 you guys should watch the new trailer from here http://www.rockband.com/press/greenday their characters move so slowly :/
gdpony Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Omg I cant wait to get this! ... its gonna be great!!!
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Meh, sucks you can't export on a Wii. Silly question, but can you get download the DLC songs also to the GD:RB game, because I don't have normal RB (only GH World Tour) and Mike looks weird. And I'm not too happy about the censoring thing either...
Sanity Loan Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 There should be two different rated games. One that is edited and rated T, and another that is explicit and rated M

Robin105 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Ok I have a question. Is it just going to be the game? Or will there be a bundle pack for those of us who don't have any of the Rockband games? (you know with the game and the instruments)
