Rock Band Network now live!
I am not sure how many of you are into video games enough to have picked up any of the Rock Band games as well as purchased any of their download-able content, but I am. I have been waiting for this day since its first announcement last summer. The Rock Band Network gives the tools to artists and labels in order to put out songs for the Rock Band titles. Starting today the service will be available to the public so we can start to buy the slightly over 100 available songs with your closest friends. As of right now RBN is up on the Xbox360 and hopefully next month it will be running on the PlayStation Network.
It looks like the prices for songs range anywhere between a $1 to $3 and you should be able to demo the tracks before purchasing in case you have some worries. Kotaku has the full list of songs that are available today and it looks like an amazing mix. Between Flogging Molly, The Shins, Five Finger Death Punch, KMFDM, Jonathon Coulton, Of Montreal and everyone else there must be something for everyone. The one thing I do hope for is that Sub Pop makes good on their promise and puts out their catalogue of music (or at quite a bit of it).
Click here to see all 100 songs available now and here is what I will be attempting to play tonight with my friends (yes with full on fog machine and strobe light). Anyone else care to join me?
