The Rock Band Network will not be fully released until "early 2010."

A spokesperson for MTV Games told Kotaku that the Rock Band Network - a system designed to allow bands to put their own songs into Rock Band and sell them on the music store - will launch "in early 2010," contrary to previous reports that it would be arriving in November.

"We're working hard to get the Rock Band Network open public beta release of tools up before the end of the year, with our RBN storefront launching in early 2010," said the spokesperson. "The open beta launch will add access to the currently private website where all of the RBN community activity and peer reviewing of tracks will take place."

"People who join the Rock Band Network (bands, fans or otherwise) will be able to play and preview any song before it hits the store, so they should stay tuned for the official launch," finished the spokesperson.

Which essentially means that the closed beta is going to carry on, and that the general public will be able to have a poke at everything by the end of the year, with a proper release scheduld for early 2010.

It's not like you don't have enough songs to play, though. Harmonix and MTV Games also revealed that there are now over 1,000 songs available in Rock Band, which is pretty staggering. Have a look at the full list over here.
