AND the band plays on, but not in Singapore just yet.

After delaying the release plans for the much hyped video game, Rockband, in Singapore for several months, Electronic Arts (EA) Asia still has not finalised the release date here for the sold out game.

The Sunday Times understands that this is because EA is still discussing the Asia Pacific distribution rights for the game with the game's producer and publisher, and this has contributed to the delay in the game's release.

EA declined to comment on this, but Jon Niermann, President of EA Asia did say that while marketing plans are still being finalised, the intention is to launch the game in Europe followed by Asia.

While no release date has been committed, it was announced at last Thursday's EA private party that the game would be available here some time this year.
