MTV and Harmonix Find a Solution for No DLC
Wii owners were devastated when they found out that neither Guitar Hero or Rock Band would be featuring Downloadable content (DLC). Without DLC both of these games can easily becoming repetitive and boring. Well, it looks like MTV and Harmonix found their own solution to this problem. They announced that PS2 and Wii owners will be able to purchase a Rock Band track pack at their local gaming store starting on July 15th. This volume 1 pack will feature 20 new songs at a price of $29.99. While this is cheaper then the traditional $1.99 per song on the Xbox Live and PSN, you cannot choose the songs you want. But at least we will be able keep rockin’ out for a while until the next track pack comes out. Here’s a list of the songs featured on the pack just in case your interested.
- 30 seconds to Mars - The Kill
- All American Rejects - Move Along
- Blink 182 - All the Small Things
- Boston - More Then 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
Well there you have it. Its nice to see Harmonix looking out for us. We can probably expect to see more track packs just from looking at the name (Volume 1). We also can expect a Guitar Hero 3 pack sometime in the future, so keep your eyes on My Wii News for any more updates!

That’s great news! Except of course I bought GH and not Rock Band. C’mon - give Canucklehead some new content! Please note - I just finished medium - I fear my advancing days are now over.

This is good news and as ghetto as it is to do it this way, I WILL TAKE IT! And I will buy every last pack they come out with no doubt. If I had DLC< i’d DL all the songs anyway and not pick and choose.
But, at a party, it would suck to have to keep popping in discs if someone wanted to sing/play a certain song.
Any word on the rumor I hear about future DLC for GH3 for the wii coming soon?

Jamison-
DLC will not happen unless Nintendo comes up with some type of storage solution. Thats the reason why Harmonix didn’t add it in the first place, they wanted to, but they just could not do it without a Hard drive.
