Rock Band delayed once again in Canada

Rock band by Harmonix - Image 1Canadian gamers may be in for another disappointment: several retail stores in Canada reportedly had problems with Rock Band (PS3 and Xbox 360), possibly pushing back the game's release once again.

According to some EB Games outlets in Canada, they were expecting their shipments of Rock Band to arrive last Thursday, but they were uncertain when they would receive their stocks, or how many units they will receive.

Gamers lined up in front of stores last Thursday to get their copies of the game, but were disappointed to find out that the retail stores didn't receive their shipments of Rock Band, nor do they know exactly when they'll get it.

Other outlets, such as Best Buy and Future Shop, pushed the game's Canadian launch back to December 28. Due to the confusion about the particulars of Rock Band's release, retailers are now turning their anger towards Electronic Arts, the game's distributor.

An EA spokesperson explained that the reason behind the botched release is that they underestimated the demand for the game in Canada.

Buy: [ Rock Band Special Edition (Xbox 360) ]
Buy: [ Rock Band Special Edition (PS3) ]

This is BS, when EB first started telling people they'll get them on the 28th EA released a statement saying that it's coming out on the 20th for sure...NO WHERE got the bundles, it's not that they're sold out they just didn't get bundles. So in a way yes the game was released in Canada on the 20th, but no one wants just the game, we want our damn accessories

I don't have a Credit Card and they don't take PayPal so I can't. I was going to use eBay but then I figured why would I do that when I can wait a week and get it for $30 cheaper and it would take 3-4 weeks to get it if I ordered from eBay

I live in Canada and I got a copy from Future Shop on the 21st. They had about 10 of the special edition bundles too. It was 199.99 though instead of the MRSP of 169.99, but whatever.

# Rock Band not in Canada? — BrendanL 2007-12-29 10:13
I see it all over Canada! I saw three boxes of them at Wal-Mart and a couple at Futureshop. Well arstechnica.org said that they're nowhere to be found in Canada, except Ontario, which is where I live.
