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. “Itβs 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…
(Thanks, GameSpot)
Hi Guys.
You know it: thanks as always for the episode π
I played a lot of Diablo 4 the last weeks, but besides this i only watched some tv series and did not play that much (not even Magic!).
Handheld discussion: i really love the Switch and my new “console” the steam deck, because i love to have the possibility to take it on a trip or to play some smaller games while in bed or on the plane or stuff like that. If i will buy a possible pS5 handheld … cant say …. at the moment there are not enough games out for ps5 which interest me … i am still playing god of war (not the new one, the remastered HDR 4k version of the ps4!).
Jagges Alliance: never played any of these … dont hit me too hard for this π
Hifi Rush: neither played this one … i think now i will be dismissed, right? π
Gamescon: you only mentioned it in one sentence, but i am looking forward if there will be some new interesting indie titles, because these are more interesting for me than most of the triple A titles. If one of you will visit the gamescon, just give me a hint, maybe we can have diner together or if you need a place to sleep.
Keep on the good work and stay healthy and happy!
Greetings from germany,
