I never understood why Microsoft are always like this. Maybe they could do better outside of the US if they gave a damn about the rest of the world.

It's all legally related. I've asked them (and Nintendo and Sony :P) about it before. I'm sure they want to do this kind of stuff worldwide, but apparently it's complicated.
Edit: All the game-related stuff though is sure to come out everywhere. It's only the video content that gets barred.

I can see the licensing issues involved with so many movie studios, television studios, etc. being absolute nightmares. It's complicated enough to work out everything in the country these products are from. Making them available abroad has to be far, far more complicated.

Guitar Hero: User generated content, exclusive REM songs, Metallica's new album coming out as DLC on the same day as retail release.

Lips (from Elite Beat Agents/Gitaroo Man creators): Get new songs for the game from a MP3 player! ~~Hope it's not just the Zune...~~ It's not just the Zune. Great!

Neither Sony nor Nintendo have had their press conferences yet. >_>

What exactly has Microsoft done so far that would scare Sony or Nintendo? They spend the whole show bragging and talking about movies. They need to announce something we actually care about thats exclusive to Xbox 360.

I started watching at the Music Games stuff. It's pretty underwhelming. >_> I think I missed the good parts.

Is this going to apply to the other versions as well? Cause I loves me some REM. :P
