“Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1” For PS2, Wii Coming Up On July 15

It may not be as big as Guitar Hero, but Rock Band does pretty well, with over 3 million bundle units sold so far. As most of you may already know, the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii’s lack of storage prevented users from downloading songs online.

But there is nothing to worry about! There is a way, as Harmonix, together with MTV Games and EA unveiled this week: “Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1,” which will become available starting July 15 for $29.99.

The disk will include 20 songs, which were normally available as individual downloads for PS3 and Xbox users, for $1.99 per song.

The complete list is as follows: 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; Faith No More – We Care A Lot; Grateful Dead – Truckin’; The Hives – Die, All Right!; KISS – Calling Dr. Love; Lynyrd Skynyrd – Gimme’ Three Steps; Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs; Oasis – Live Forever; Paramore – Crushcrushcrush; The Police – Synchronicity II; Queens of the Stone Age – Little Sister; Ramones – Teenage Lobotomy; Smashing Pumpkins – Siva; Stone Temple Pilots – Interstate Love Song; Weezer – Buddy Holly; Wolfmother – Joker & the Thief.

“Rock Band is the ultimate platform for music fans and gamers to interact with music like never before,” Harmonix said in a blog. “The game challenges players to put together a band and tour for fame and fortune – all while learning to master lead/bass guitar, drums and vocals.”

The game has already won over 40 awards, including Game Critics Award: Best of Show E3 2007, Outstanding Innovation in Gaming, Family Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack.

Philippe Dauman, Viacom President and CEO, told GameDaily: “our Rock Band video game is continuing its successful tour and is emerging as a valuable long term franchise,” adding that they expect even greater success as they prepare for the release of Rock Band on Wii and the European launch.
