Are you new to the Rock Band game and looking forward to Rock Band 2 when it arrives next month on the PS3? Well, don't count on any of the original game's songs ever becoming DLC -- the Variety video game blog The Cut Scene got in touch with MTV games regarding the matter, and Variety was told that the songs on the original Rock Band disc will not become available for download in the future. Rock Band itself will be published "indefinitely," so you don't have to worry about not being able to locate a copy.
The article goes go to evaluate the pros and cons of Harmonix not making the new songs available as DLC, but the discussion is irrelevant to the end consumer. Those of you who are buying Rock Band 2 can simply borrow a copy of Rock Band, pay the $5 fee, and have all the songs (except for three) on your hard drive. Why would you want to pay $1-2 per song instead?
