Apparently MTV Games/Harmonix are cool with you getting your hands on Rock Band 2 early (breaking the September 14th street date), giving the player lucky enough to get their hands on it early a little “props” at the bottom of their main menu (See screenshot above).
Pretty cool actually… it’s always nice to see a company that doesn’t respond to enthusiasm by suing their fans.
Thanks Kotaku!

If you have any luck, keep us posted. I’ve got my feelers out as well.

my friend claims this is photoshopped, but it looks good to me. what do you think?

Matt,
It’s such a minor thing (just a little text on the home screen) and given that MTV/Harmonix didn’t respond to the announcement at all, I have to assume it’s legit.
I’d also point out that Rock Band 2 already starting shipping out to retailers, so anyone lucky enough to walk into a Target/Best Buy/Circuit City/EBGames/etc. that might have it in stock already might be able to talk the sales associate into giving them one.
If you do, let us know!
