If a game has a soundtrack worth listening to, it's something that can't be replaced because it was made to fit that experience/narrative. But if the game's soundtrack is real/chart music, then you might as well just replace it with your own custom soundtrack.

That said, I still think it's a neat idea. I'd never use it, but it's a neat idea.

The simple fact that you can buy both the song pack and the individual song without any errors being thrown by Xbox Live is the most marvelous sham of the entire DLC-Rock Band lot.

@blaked567: "what's the problem here? you don't like DLC? don't buy it. but don't grumble and complain at those who do decide to purchase."

Well, the problem is that when companies like EA remove parts of a game and sell them back to you, like they did when they took cheats out of the Godfather on the 360- they are creating a culture of DLC where consumers getting screwed is the norm. I complained about the outrageous price for the GH2 song packs because of the fact that people buying them caused Activision to think that it was ok to screw us. It's the idiots who buy those song packs and cheat codes that make this business model viable.

I really, really wouldn't mind if I never saw another article about Rock Band and/or GH3 on Kotaku, ever again.

Can we put a goddamn maximum limit on the number of articles per week posted about these games or something? This is getting ridiculous.

This idea would work even better if the physical discs played as regular cd's and the songs could be uploaded to a computer or another media so that the content would go beyond just Rock Band.

I think one of the coolest things about Rock Band is that there are so many more people interested in taking the leap to playing real instruments to experiment. I always wanted a drumset and this week at NAMM, I got to check out Dixon's drums. Check out www.myspace.com/dixondrums -- cheap but good!

Ugh.

Do game publishers never *get* it? People are buying Rock Band DLC because it extends the gameplay. Different music for Madden doesn't doing anything for the game itself. You might as well run Pandora in the background.

Alucard400 — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:15:28 MST

I've stopped downloading Rock Band DLC because in fear of EA releasing an expansion disc to add into the game. Kind of like the Halo 2 map pack disc from the Xbox. If I download all the songs I want and this happens, I would have spent all that money for nothing. Of course, you get the songs earlier than waiting for a "possible" disc. But I've already spent way too much on extra songs for a game that was already 170$ + tax + gas.

Lemming To The Sea — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:02:05 MST

I think it'd be a hilarious cross-marketing scheme if you could buy the Madden soundtrack in Rock Band form, to play the songs and get them stuck in your head so you think "Hmm maybe after this track I should go play some Madden..."

But that never happens, because as I've discovered it's impossible to remove the Rock Band disc from my console...

crashlanding — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 11:15:30 MST

Sooo, what about the ability to have custom soundtracks on the 360? Isn't that available for ALL 360 games (someone help me if I'm wrong for I don't own a 360)? No sales on the 360 version then unless you have no music of your own, or just lazy. The PS3 has custom soundtracks available on a couple PSN titles now, and plans to add the feature across the board soon. Maybe they grab a few there for the ones who need it right now.

This is a jump the shark moment for DLC if there ever was one.

We already do. We also hate EA for figuring out even funnier ways to part fools with their money.

metaly — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:12:10 MST

I don't see the problem with the extra soundtracks as DLC at all. First, I assume the game does come with music to begin with. Second, nobody's forcing you to download the extra songs. And finally, it's EA, so you know it's just going to be horrible ear poison anyway. I'd probably pay money if there was an option to take the licensed music out of their games.

With that said, I am still 100% opposed to companies charging to unlock content that is already on the game disc.

chiablo — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:46:20 MST

I purchased several of the DLC tracks and due to a combination of hardware failure and moving to a rural area, it takes more effort than is worth to play any of my new tracks in Rock Band. So this news pleases me greatly.

On another note, EA seems to be working hard on their peripherals as well. I received my replacement drum kit today, and I instantly noticed that the pads are made out of softer material than the one's I had at launch. Their quieter when I hit them as well. Anyone else notice this?

RPGr — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:57:59 MST

@0starter0: The difference is in Rock Band you also pay to have some guy make note tracks for 3 different instruments and map the voice pitch vocals (although they probably have some semi-automated system by now, there is probably a "touch-up crew/playtester somewhere along the way).

Making people pay to have a customizable soundtrack for something they already own is kinda "@.@" in a bad way.

Rock Band Getting Physical Expansions (Plus, EA To Capitalise On Stupidity)

RPGr — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:54:31 MST

0starter0 — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:54:19 MST

The stuff on games aren't real yet you pay money, so why can't you do the same with DLC? In a sense it's like paying more money to make the game bigger, better, or longer.

The only time it's bad is when they leave it out of the product intentionally to make money. On Rock Band, you can only have so many tracks on a disc.

And yet again some numpty brings up the "its not real" arguement. Heres the thing, we've one that one a jillion times. There is nothing more to say about it anymore. Let it die.

On topic, I think I support this idea. It'll be great if you wanna buy loads of extras, but cant afford a couple of quid per song. Batching up like, 50 or so songs for £20 would be totally worth it.

That Fuzzy Bastard — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:31:27 MST

I dunno what the problem is with selling Madden soundtracks. Remember, there's still a huge audience for the radio---many, maybe even most people would rather have their music chosen by professionals rather than do it themselves. Not my way---I still fondly associate At the Drive-In with playing Deathrow on the Xbox---but I can see why people (or rather, Madden fans, who are very similar to people) would be totally pumped to get some bone-crunchin' tunes, bra!

Again, it's not for me, but that's why I'm not going to buy it. And you don't have to either. That's the great thing about DLC---you can get the game, and not pay for crap you don't want.

When GameStop's game trade-in program is described as "parasitic," I think this is the only logical response from a game publisher. So let's assume it's possible that a gamer didn't pay the publisher a single penny to get their hands on a game, right? But the publisher can at least get a few bucks by selling them random DLC. It makes perfect sense to me.

I still won't be buying any of it, though.

@nxp3: If this is throwing money away, then so is buying every other video game. Games are played for their entertainment value. If someone is entertained by playing rock band or guitar hero, who are you to judge them? What's different from getting a high score in rock band than getting a high score in any other video game? You're just a sad, wannabe elitist. The type of person who hates anything that's remotely popular...you think that by disliking anything popular it makes you a better or smarter person.

I had to be the party pooper, but how much do you think it actually costs to license 50-100 songs for a game? A lot. Indie bands may not charge a lot, but a bigger band could charge at least 10k just for usage IN GAME. The bands need to get paid, EA wants to make some money back, the labels are trying to survive----the consumer shouldn't be offended if they have to d/l 9.99 from iTunes for a few tracks or 12.99 for a CD. You pay 10 bucks to go see a movie in a theatre and then you buy the DVD for 20 bucks when it comes out.

I want to know whether these physical discs would be like the Oblivion: Shivering Isles expansion (copy the content to your HDD with no further need for the disc) or like the GH Rocks the 80's expansion which was just an additional game that didn't link with the original GH2 at all.

I'm hoping for the former, as that means people would be able to buy the disc and then trade it in. Which would mean getting it preowned and getting loads of new Rock Band tracks fairly cheap. Doubt it though, as it makes little business sense.

I still want to know when they'll bring a Rock Band to the Wii. Or at least let us buy another guitar for GH3.

It is kinda sad when, as much as you want to blame these people for such an asinine structure of selling such trivial crap to people, you really can only blame the people actually buying the stuff. If this whole scheme of selling useless crud to people hadn't taken off, noone would be investing time in finding out just what else we'll gladly pay for. At some point, I think they might try to sell us cancer, or videos of their CEOs clubbing kittens in the alley. And something tells me that'd probably sell enough to pay for more zany brainstorming sessions.
