Rock Band PS2/Wii DLC... Discs?

At least they actually care, right? In response to the lack of Downloadable Content for the Wii and PS2, Harmonix, in a press release today that they will be releasing a disc with bonus songs on it. Each disc will have 20 tracks, and cost $29.99- which really isn't that bad, you save 25% of what you would pay to buy the DLC for PS3/360.

Is this made of win? That's up to you guys to decide, take a look at the track list supplied on the first DLC Disc.

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill
All American Rejects - Move Along
Blink – 182 - All the Small Things
Boston - More Than a Feeling
David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
Faith No More - We Care A Lot
Grateful Dead - Truckin’
The Hives - Die, All Right!
KISS - Calling Dr. Love
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme’ Three Steps
Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs
Oasis - Live Forever
Paramore - Crushcrushcrush
The Police - Synchronicity II
Queens of the Stone Age - Little Sister
Ramones - Teenage Lobotomy
Smashing Pumpkins - Siva
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Wolfmother - Joker & the Thief

I know I'll personally be grabbing it to play All The Small Things. That song is required on every Nintendo music game. Donkey Konga, Rock Band... You get it.

There seems there was a small hint to secrets being unlocked in the PS2 version. Maybe the same goes for the Wii?

Is this the first of several discs? I really hope so- this is a good way to make up for the lack of DLC. Of course, I don't even know how this would work just yet. Is this basically Rock Band 1 and 1/2? Do we need to boot up the main Rock Band to get these songs to work? Time will tell.

These discs go on sale July 15th.

No "Why Do You Love Me?" by Garbage? No "The Collector" by Nine Inch Nails? No "Zero" by the Smashin Pumpkins?

Now I am more than glad that i have the 360 version =p

If they make a disc with the metallica pack, Screaming for vengence album and some other thrash metal songs, I might actually consider getting Rock band wii...

You might wanna explain what DLC is. Most n00bs don't know. I had to ponder about what that acronym meant for a sec, then realised.

I explained it in the first paragraph- I also kinda thought that DLC would be common slang now.

I saw that you beat me to it, actually- I spent a little while pondering whether or not to post it on the front page- and finally did.

It's all good though- the news isn't late, per se.

I refer to Kotaku, and Joystiq to get most of my news- but I saw this on Bemanistyle first, a music website I live at.
