Guitar Hero: On Tour Experience Website

This November console gamers will be able to purchase a new Track Pack for Rock Band and Rock Band 2. While Activision’s Guitar Hero: Aerosmith sells over 1-million copies, MTV and Harmonix look to prove they too can push big numbers on exclusive artist packs.

Unlike Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are the core game engine and the track packs extend out the game with a bunch of new songs, in this case, AC/DC. Gamers who opt not to purchase the latest Rock Band 2 game still have access to AC/DC’s new tracks if they go to the store and buy them.

The trick? This is a Wal-Mart (and Sams Club) exclusive deal; you won’t find this track pack at another retailer.

“If you want to be a physical band, you better make an alliance with a strong physical retailer,” Columbia Records chairman Steve Barnett told the Times. “It’s a great way to sell the new album, the catalog, the game, merchandise and DVDs.”(gamespot)

This Track Pack contains 99 minutes of songs, the tracks include:

• “Thunderstruck” “Shoot to Thrill”
• “Back in Black “Hell Ain’t a Band Place to Be.”
• “Heatseeker”
• “Fire Your Guns”
• “Jailbreak”
• “The Jack” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
• “Moneytalks”
• “Hell’s Bells”
• “Whole Lotta Rosie”
• “You Shook Me All Night Long”
• “T.N.T.”
• “Let There Be Rock”
• “Highway to Hell”
• “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

Will AC/DC do as well as Aerosmith? I’ve never been a big AC/DC fan, but then again, I didn’t buy into the Aerosmith product either, however, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith doesn’t include drumming…
