Several of the tracks will remain exclusive for a time before becoming DLC. The track pack is slated for release on July 21, 2009 with a MSRP of $29.99.
This is what makes Rock Band so appealing; its use of track packs and DLC allows it to put out music that everyone enjoys, but not everyone has to play all of it. This week’s update puts us at 254 total downloadable Wii tracks, with several of them from Guitar Hero, I notice.
