Another week, another bundle of
Rock Band DLC oldies for the Wii, which according to the press release should be available now.
Individual Tracks (200 Wii points apiece)
- "Attack" - 30 Seconds to Mars
- "Gimme Three Steps" - Lynrd Skynrd
- "Live Forever" - Oasis
- "Just What I needed" - The Cars
- "Siva" - Smashing Pumpkins
- "Tell Me Baby" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Fun fact: the
Rock Band series has about 559 songs. At this point, Wii owners have access to 212 of them, leaving 347 songs to go. At 6 songs per week -- not counting any future DLC -- we should see Wii owners catch up to everyone else some time before mid-2010.

The Cars already? They are rolling out the big guns early. Gotta wait till the usual Summer Slowdown before I'll get to this and probably a lot of other games (Guilty Gear)

Everyone wait on downloading those -- four of the six were corrupt when they went online this morning, and since then, people have been having problems with the store giving them a different song (still a corrupt one!) than the one they attempted to download. HMX has said on their forums that they are working on it but indicated a full solution may not come until tomorrow.
If you want to take your chances, some people say things are working for them now, but others say they still have problems. I would wait until you can be sure of what you're getting for your Wii points.

Th entire store seems to be down..

What about the fact that new consoles will continue to get three new songs a week? Wouldn't that make it closer to the end of 2011? Of course that doesn't include album downloads.
Moleculo @ Jan 27th 2009 9:06PM
They typically get more than three a week, even on weeks when a big pack or album isn't coming out.
MowDownJoe @ Jan 27th 2009 9:18PM
Wii also gets the new DLC at the same time as everyone else from now on.
B3astofthe3ast @ Jan 27th 2009 8:53PM
They DID say that they want the Wii to be synced up soon, so not 2010 for sure.
Mr Khan @ Jan 27th 2009 9:09PM
true, but didn't they also use the word "soon" to describe when the Wii version of this game would actually release in the first place?
Tank @ Jan 27th 2009 8:59PM
"we should see Wii owners catch up to everyone else some time before mid-2010."
And I won't be making this purchase a second sooner...
I am a machineee @ Jan 27th 2009 9:01PM
They should just skip any songs that are "As made famous by".
Tez @ Jan 27th 2009 10:39PM
I'm sure they'd do that if they were stupid.
JJ Rooster @ Jan 27th 2009 9:07PM
That's already more DLC choice than they get with Word Tour (that piece of shit!)
nehal @ Jan 27th 2009 9:08PM
What by 2010 by then rock band 3 will already come out. O well wasn't planning purchasing rock band 2 until I could get it for cheap anyways.
Brett @ Jan 27th 2009 9:11PM
ahhhh 30STM must buy now!
Premature ejaculation man @ Jan 27th 2009 9:15PM
Ross Miller! Why are you not listed as team Joystiq!?
Wiinterfang @ Jan 27th 2009 9:37PM
What! but he is my favorite =(.
futurebiblehero @ Jan 27th 2009 9:50PM
"Attack" should take full advantage of the Wii's capabilities: One person on guitar. One person on drums. One person in smeared mascara, having a Wii-mote slapfight with Elijah Wood.
austin @ Jan 27th 2009 9:52PM
i heard some where that they are going to be releasing old dlc on one day and new dlc on another
Q-Kid-Kyle @ Jan 27th 2009 10:02PM
okay -two questions - 1. I got GHWT complete band kit. Rock Band 2 works with guitar hero world tour stuff, right? secondly, the dlc on RB2 - how many free songs? Do we get "Still Alive"?
Robotic Earthling @ Jan 27th 2009 10:08PM
Yes, RB2 works with GHWT instruments. There are 20 free songs for RB2. Still Alive is not in the store yet, but will probably come eventually.
Calvin @ Jan 27th 2009 10:12PM
Still Alive by Pearl Jam? If so, that's a song on the disk itself.
Sora @ Jan 27th 2009 10:17PM
Calvin, I think he meant "Still Alive" as in the ending song to the game Portal, which is free DLC on the other systems.
B3astofthe3ast @ Jan 27th 2009 10:36PM
I don't think so, as Portal isn't available on the Wii.
Danny @ Jan 27th 2009 11:18PM
I think they are going to hold off on Rock Band 3, I mean they just upgraded their game. I actually almost bought Rock Band 2 for Wii but i bought COD WAW instead. I may buy it later on when the DLC expands more (Disturbed please).
Anyways I for one am very excited about Guitar Hero: Metallica, that'd going to be sweet.
PSIJunkie @ Jan 28th 2009 12:03AM
Is there some kind of damn restriction on the Wii that doesn't allow them to put out more than 6 songs a week? Cause this is ridiculous.
RyFar206 @ Jan 28th 2009 1:39AM
Why don't they just make all the DLC available at one time? Or would that cause the internet to implode?
