I've heard rumblings that its out there with a couple of people - but that's just from my offline conversations with a few people.  At least one person supposedly played a guitarish intro with an Axl scream (over the phone to a potential trader) but who knows how accurate the description is - let alone if the track the person played is real.  (The person who it was played for, on the other hand, I have no doubt about - if they say they heard 'x' then they heard 'x' - period)

Well, let me put it this way - at the time, I had stuff to offer that would be considered a 'coup' - and no one bit.  I think the primary reason was the individual knew (not like its some big secret) that if I got my hands on it I'd have no issues ensuring the entire community had it - just not a couple people who felt 'special'.  I can not STAND the hoarding mentality.  The only time I've ever held onto something before releasing it 'to the masses' is when I used it as bait or leverage to get my hands on something else.  Hoarders hate me because, well, I tend to F up their plans, a lot :-P

It is - My pre-order is paid in full and will be picked up on day one. (Fortunately, I already own RB for the 360 and have all the instruments).  Besides, we want to get the Ion Premium drum set when it comes out so getting another 'bundle' would be kind of pointless, anyway.   The first RB is hell of a lot of fun, so hopefully RB II follows suit.

This is the link for the 'game only' which, as you can see, is still listed for a September 14th release.
