my mistake, off the top of my head I remember that the European Version had 4 songs removed, but the US version had 3 (since Europe had some diff songs.)

I haven't heard anything about that. That would be wierd, considering they are DLC for RB. Besides, RB2 hasn't come out for anyone but North American 360 owners. I don't know if the export feature has been implemented for the PAL version though.

Mike: To each his own, I have lots of fun playing it and so does everyone I know.

Wing: Several different forums I frequent have been wanting this song his that article in Kotaku, shit is spreading like crazy.

Huh. That's crazy. You can still buy it in the marketplace, not that you would want that horrible excuse for a song anyways.
