New Devo and Duran Duran Rock Band DLC
Fresh from the Rock Band downloadable content Easy-Bake Oven and onto the XBLM are five new chewy-moist morsels of DLC to purchase. And as you're already aware, two tracks from Devo AND two tracks from Duran Duran (yes, Duran Duran!) are available for 160 Microsoft points as well as a song from American Mall that's value priced at 80 points. Sadly, there are no money saving track packs being offered this week ... tear. A comprehensive breakdown of all of today's newly released Rock Band DLC is posted after the break. Rock on!Harmonix talks Rock Band song selection, more The Who DLC confirmed
There's an interesting interview over on IGN where the Harmonix crew sits down to chit-chat about the Rock Band 2 song selection process as well as the tactics and strategies that are involved. All of which tells us a lot about them and Rock Band. One being that Harmonix takes the Rock Band track selection process seriously. Two being that they're busy bees when it comes to securing and licensing band music. Third being that we can all but expect to see more The Who downloadable content in the near future. And that, friends, is what Martha Stewart would call a very, very good thing. Like we said, it's a good read, so make the jump and begin the traditional reading process.[Thanks, Dark Caboose]
Rock Band DLC: Devo and Duran Duran incoming
On the official Rock Band forums, HMXaleX just posted a list of next week's Rock Band downloadable content, all of which comes straight from the 1980s. Oh yes, the 80s. Two tracks from Devo and Duran Duran will be lovingly placed on the XBLM for purchase on Tuesday, August 19th with both Devo tracks being new recordings done special for Rock Band (must've lost the masters, doh!) But that isn't quite it, there will also be an American Mall soundtrack song by The Janitors value priced for 80 MS points as well. DLC list below:
- "Girl U Want" by Devo - 160
- "Through Being Cool" by Devo - 160
- "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran - 160
- "Rio" by Duran Duran - 160
- "Get Your Rock On" by The Janitors - 80
Rock Band may never make it to Australia
Word on the rumor street is that Australian retailers are not interested in stocking the ginormous Rock Band bundles, because of the shelf space it takes up and the fact that Rock Band is nearly a year old with a sequel releasing soon. Another reason: Guitar Hero: World Tour is newer and cheaper which some retailers may see as an equal replacement for Rock Band on their shelves. Taking this retail rumor one step further, it's entirely possible that (for the same reasons) Rock Band 2 won't reach Australian shores either. Sad too ... Australians don't know what they're missing and how fun it is to sing to Weezer tracks.
Rumor: Rock Band 2 bundle delayed into October

Killswitch, Megadeth and four more join Rock Band
As announced last Friday, a six pack of Roadrunner label Rock Band downloadable content has just released to the Xbox Live Marketplace. And it's cheap too!
The six tracks (viewable after the break) are all value priced at 80 Microsoft points apiece for a limited time and can be downloaded in one felt swoop as a Roadrunner Records Pack for 480 points. With music from Killswitch Engage, Megadeth, Dream Theater, DevilDriver, Airoborne and Machine Head, we have a feeling we'll be plopping down our MS points for a song or two. It's Rock Band DLC Tuesday, go and rock out already ...

Warner Music wants more from Rock Band, Guitar Hero
Warner Music leading man Edgar Brofman told Reuters that considering each company's game is completely dependent on the content the music industry owns and controls, "The amount being paid to the music industry ... is far too small." Brofman compared the significance of rhythm music games to the industry shifting introductions of MTV and iTunes.
Even though it has been reported that royalties for content sales in music games are much higher than other services, such as iTunes, we're surprised it took this long for the industry to start sobbing about getting paid. If licenses change, could this spell an increase in downloadable content prices?
