Rock Band 2
So, "Rock Band 2" has been announced. The XBox 360 version will come out in September, with versions for other consoles following later.
Normally, this would piss me off. But, the news came with a few tidbits that instead make me excited.
The biggie?
All downloadable content for "Rock Band" will also work with "Rock Band 2".
And, actually, that's an understatement. All downloadable content for RB2 will also work with RB. They're not thinking of it as a distinct platform, and they spent time working with Microsoft and Sony to come up with a way to be the first game to offer cross-title downloadable content.
So, if you never buy RB2, you will still get a continuous stream of content that'll work with RB1. And if you do buy RB2, for enhanced online and party modes for example, your song library will go along with you as you upgrade.
