This morning, while posting about the new
Rock Band patch and the addition of an in-game Music Store, we were in an extreme excitement frenzy. So much so that we overlooked Harmonix's other news regarding
Rock Band DLC and how uber popular it has been, distributing (to date) 6 million downloads. 6 million! And if you recall, back in January MTV and Harmonix were trumpeting their horn when they announced sales of
2.5 million DLC downloads. Knowing that, in two months time gamers have purchased an additional 3.5 million tracks. Yeah, it's safe to say that the music industry has another revenue source.

Question is, will RB be super duper classy and make the current DLC work with RB2? Cuz that would just be the bee's knees if I don't have to switch discs to drum out Don't Look Back in Anger.

Now that is impressive... I know that I download each week the new releases regardless the band. Curse them and their winning formula.

I've downloaded 20 tracks thus far. GH missed out big time, I've ditched GH completely and will never look back.

As long as they keep putting out good tracks, then people will keep downloading.
