This week, the Rock Band series hits an impressive milestone, as with the release of five new DLC tracks, there are now 3,000 songs playable in Rock Band. The new tracks in question are all from the band Yes, who had their first playable track on the Rock Band 3 disc with “Roundabout”; the five tracks included add up to around 40 minutes of music, with two of the songs approaching ten minutes apiece. All tracks cost 200 Nintendo Points and are downloaded in-game, though the entire pack can be bought for 900 Nintendo Points.
Yes – Heart of the Sunrise
Yes – I’ve Seen All Good People*
Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart*
Yes – South Side of the Sky
Yes – Starship Trooper
*Pro guitar/bass upgrade available for an additional 100 Nintendo Points.
Additionally, Harmonix is giving away 100 free songs to 30 lucky winners, but the codes are only redeemable on Xbox 360. More information can be found here.
“Roundabout” is one of my favorite songs on the Rock Band 3 disk, so the others might be really good as well. I’m worried that they might end up being a bit repetitive, though, being so long.
