Although Rock Band has only been out for a mere month or so in the UK and EU, Rock Band 2 will set a release in September, for both the US and the UK

Anyone with the former peripherals in the game, will be both relived and pleased to know that everything will be compatible with the new game, including downloadable content.

However, there will be updated peripherals available in a bundle pack. Harmonix isn't exendending on what 'updated' means yet though.
