This is how you do downloadable content:

Gamespot says wrote:
Since Rock Band was first announced by Harmonix and MTV Games in March, the developers have made no secret of their ambitious plans for downloadable content. As the game's release has drawn closer, information about those plans has trickled out. At the E3 Media and Business Summit, Harmonix said it would be offering full downloadable albums from artists like The Who, with more tracks from Metallica, The Grateful Dead, and The Ramones among those that gamers could add on to the retail game.

With Rock Band set for release next Tuesday, Harmonix today finally took the wraps off its downloadable content model today. The studio has apparently heard complaints regarding the mandatory three-song bundles and $6.25 price point adopted by the Guitar Hero franchise's downloadable content, and is giving gamers a bit of a break.

Rock Band will still feature pre-selected three-song packs for download, but they will instead cost $5.49 (440 Microsoft points on Xbox 360). Songs will also be available individually for $1.99. Harmonix has said future songs will be sold individually for as little as $.99 (80 Microsoft points), and as much as $2.99 (240 points). However, "the vast majority" will come in at the standard $1.99 price point. The developer did not say how much full-album downloads would be, or when the first albums would be released.

Harmonix also detailed its release schedule for the first five weeks after Rock Band launches. The opening week will be highlighted by track packs from Metallica, The Police, and Queens of the Stone Age, with individual songs from Creedence Clearwater Revival, Foreigner, T-Rex, and more. Downloaded tracks will be integrated into all of the game's modes, and will be playable online only if all players have purchased the songs.

Cheaper price. More variety. Not forced to buy three songs instead you can buy just the one or them as a pack.

THAT'S how you do DLC. You do NOT rip people off (even though the pricing is still a bit high imo), force them to buy multiple tracks when they may only like one song and then refuse to bloody change it when you get a wave of complaints.

Get ready to cash in GH for RB it'll blow it away.

Too bad I don't like any of those songs but I love all of the GH DLC so far. The two best songs on there are 3's and 7's and War Pigs. War Pigs was on GH2 and 3's and 7's is on GH3.

That's ok! Going by there line up, there already pumping out DLC faster and cheaper than GH. They'll soon have enough up there to cater for everyone.

Yeah none of them songs really appeal to me either apart from Sick Sick Sick by QOTSA. I love the GH3 line up much more than the Rock Band. I'm not arguing, I'm just saying that my taste is different to everyone elses.
