ESRB reveals Rock Band 'Classic Rock' track pack

So its all already released DLC like the other track packs. Good.

those songs are already out...

How about new dlc classic rock track packs...not all the stuff thats already released :/

Since when are the Dead Kennedys "classic rock"?

Classic Rock? Dead Kennedys? How logical.

if a Queen track appears on it
am defo getting it

This is a great idea, whether or not it only includes DLC already released. They should make this a regular thing. Not everyone is comfortable buying DLC through their console, so this is a great way for those people to expand their Rock Band playlists, and sell the actual game.
It's kind of crazy to consider that Rock Band is now releasing the number of songs in Guitar Hero 1 every 15 weeks or so (not including album releases or weeks with more than 3 songs) - but having a great DLC operation doesn't lend much heft to your presence at retailers - most of the local EB Games near me in Australia aren't even displaying Rock Band on the shelves, because it can't compete with Guitar Hero for shelf space - so you either need to go in already aware of it and ask for it, or come across it by chance in a department store. Putting out track packs increases the visibility and perceived brand strength at retail, which is where the game gets sold (duh).

I am assuming that these track packs function just like the AC/DC pack, meaning you can export it off the disc to the console hard drive, and if so, they should aim to put at least one out for every Guitar Hero title, maybe 20-40 songs per pack, and make a point of emphasising that unlike the Guitar Hero releases, (ie. Aerosmith, Metallica), you won't need to swap discs once you install it.

what?! they finally ran out of songs to release for DLC? anyways, I already have TheJoker on GH:WT, so I will be passing on this "bargain."

If Activision did this with Guitar Hero, everyone will complain that they are whoring out the franchise. But since it's Rock Band and Harmonix, it's okay with you people.

If there were an editing option I would have compared the franchise's predilection for mo-capped "legends of rock" to the awkwardness of that memorable Paula Abdul walk-on at the original Wall Street Journal demonstration. xD
If only Harmonix or EA had done something equally phoney and embarrassing with Rock Band, so we could test this accusation of double standards. Hmmm..

I'm not big on buying the DLC because I think it is overpriced. I'll definitely be trying to get this on eBay or in bargain bins (bought Track Pack 2 for $7.50). I'm still trying to get the AC/DC track pack for < $15
I hope they have some Deep Purple and Foreigner. It will probably have some songs from The Who album that is already up.
