In a piece on MTV's plans for the store, the WSJ piece opens with "MTV Games is hoping to goose sales of its flagging "Rock Band (http://kotaku.com/tag/rockband/)" series with a new service Tuesday that lets average users upload and sell videogame versions of their own music."
We knew it was launching in "early 2010" (http://kotaku.com/5413089/mtv-rock-band-network-to-be-fully-launched-in-early-2010), but hadn't figured on it launching this early, and with such little fanfare. As far as confirmation goes, MTV have already gone to bed, so when we all wake up tomorrow, we'll know if the WSJ are on the money or not.
