Rock Band Wii to get bonus track disc News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Coming to the US in July.

EA has plans to release a bundle of extra songs on disc for the Wii version of Rock Band.

Track Pack Volume 1 will be released on 15th July in the US. It will offer 20 bonus tracks for USD 29.99 - that's around 10 dollars cheaper than if you bought them as individual downloads.

The pack includes songs by the likes of The Police, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Oasis, The Police and Wolfmother.

Rock Band Wii is due out in the US on 22nd June. A European date is yet to be set.

The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band will arrive here on 23rd May and cost a whopping GBP 180 for the three instruments - microphone, drums, guitar - and the game. Unless you find yourself a retailer-specific bundle, of course.

To date, developer Harmonix has made over 80 extra tracks available for Rock Band in the US. All of them will be available to download from European launch on Xbox 360.

The average track sells for 160 Microsoft Points / USD 1.99.

Track Pack Volume 1:

30 Seconds to Mars - "The Kill"
All American Rejects - "Move Along"
Blink - 182- "All the Small Things"
Boston - "More Than a Feeling"
David Bowie - "Moonage Daydream"

So, that's EA's solution to Wii's limited storage space; not bad I guess...

From the article: "The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band will arrive here on 23rd May " No, it's not out here yet.

For someone who just assumed that the Wii version of Rock Band would simply get screwed in terms of additional song content, this add-on pack seems like a pretty decent alternative...you can't argue too much with the price, either, especially if it works out cheaper than the downloadable versions.

Of course, it doesn't change the fact that the game itself is grotesquely overpriced and I fear that it will cause the game to flop hard when it launches in Europe, but hey, don't say I don't give credit where it's due.

Not a bad compromise I suppose.

Hurrah for having a 360...the price is extortionate but the game is amazing.
