This week Harmonix, MTV
Games and Electronic Arts announced that it will be releasing a brand
new
Rock Band track pack in stores as a standalone game this
May, featuring 20 classic rock songs, across all versions of the
game. The
Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock
will
feature music from Boston, The Dead Kennedys, The Police, Steve
Miller Band, The Who and more, and all of the tracks use the original
master recordings. Even better, at least for Xbox 360 and Playstation
3 users, the pack will be available to download for free! Well, Sort
of. Too good to be true right? Well yes, because the free download
only refers to being allowed to download the tracks to your Xbox 360
or Playstation 3 hard drive once you've already purchased the track
pack in stores.
