AC/DC : Live

Well it finally happened… AC/DC is coming to town, in “full” album form that is.

And guess what, the tracks are remixed by Mike Fraser for Rock Band. Awesome.

It looks that this release will be even more expensive than the Red Hot Chilli Peppers release of Blood Sugar Sex Magik which is $20 [1,600MSPoints]. The AC/DC “Track Pack” as it’s called will run somewhere around $40 [US]!!!

Which again I’m sure is not squarely on Harmonix but on those that hold the master and or publishing rights to the tracks.

Weak.

The tracks are really solid though:

“Thunderstruck”
“Shoot to Thrill”
“Back in Black”
“Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be”
“Heatseeker”
“Fire Your Guns”
“Jailbreak”
“The Jack”
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
“Moneytalks”
“Hells Bells”
“High Voltage”
“Whole Lotta Rosie”
“You Shook Me All Night Long”
“T.N.T.”
“Let There Be Rock”
“Highway To Hell”
“For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

Nice.

The entire press release can be read here.

Well it’s that time of the week again, Tuesday… and you know what that means, more downloadable content for all you Rock Band and Rock Band 2 junkies out there.

This week sees the release of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik LP.

The ablum contains the following tracks:

The Power of Equality
If You Have to Ask
Breaking the Girl
Funky Monks
Suck My Kiss
I Could Have Lied
Mellowship Slinky in B Major
The Righteous & The Wicked
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Under the Bridge
Naked in the Rain
Apache Rose Peacock
The Greeting Song
My Lovely Man
Sir Psycho Sexy
They’re Red Hot

*Give It Away, is already included on the Rock Band 2 game disc.

Hold up just one sec though… this one’s gonna run you a cool 1,600 MS Points… yep that’s $19.99 [US] for those not fully in the Matrix yet.

A pretty good album and what will probably be mucho fun in the coming weekends… however, OUCH!!! Before anyone tears into Harmonix on this one, I can almost garuntee you that the cost issue is one of licensing.

Period.

I swear this game will never come out… I feel like Cartman in the Go God Go episode.

I won’t buy it since the hype machine has gone for far too long and my interest has sort of declined… oh well I’ll still rent it, but you can scope it all official like here.

This weeks DLC for Rock Band (PS3 & Xbox360) appears to be as follows:

Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie (master)

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth (master)

No word as if these will be available in a track pack as well, but it doesn’t appear so.

Are you guys still rockin’ out there?

The Bunny and myself have been off and on for the past few weeks… we tried one last eighteen track set list and failed a few times on the twelfth song, resulting in the lost of around 2.2 million fans. [sigh]

So we abandoned that we’ll probably get back to it at some point but you know how it goes.

This weeks DLC was announced over on the forums and it seems “doable”?

This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race – Fallout Boy

Date With The Night – Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs

It Hurts – Angels And Airwaves

There was also mention about the Wii and PS2 “Track Pack” for a MSRP of $29.99 which will hit this coming June.

Well as I’m sure most of you know Grand Theft Auto IV has “finally” arrived on the streets today as I’m sure you’ve seen by the blasting of “press” in your face today.

‘Grand Theft Auto IV‘ is released by Rockstar Games.

Man stabbed while waiting to buy Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto IV is out today, but what does the M-rating mean?

Game Group relishing hotly anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto IV: Media Fantasies and Delusions

Etc.

The Bunny and I still have to beat two more cities in Rock Band, (one of which requires the incompletion of the daunting Endless Set List). And being that the last game I played “extensively” and I use that term loosely was Mass Effect I’m not in any rush to go get GTAIV now or in the future.

Besides I don’t buy many games anymore due to lack of time and the rising costs of everything these days, so I prefer to just rent online for only $25 [US] a month. There’s very few games I’ll drop any cheddar on these days, the only one that I’ve purchased in the past few years since I got my 360 has been Rock Band and a few used games for around $7 [US].

I’m sure all the fan boys and prepubescents will go crazy over this game, make Take-Two a stash of cash and cause EA to up it’s offer to an easy half trillion to acquire them. ;)

That’s the real reason TT wouldn’t allow anything to happen until after the games release, it’s so obvious.

So yeah… it’s only Tuesday… and not Friday yet.

Well this weeks announcement’s for Rock Band downloads are as follows:

The Mother Hips – “Red Tandy” (MASTER)

Smashing Pumpkins – “Zero” (MASTER)

The one thing that bothers me is the following:

“This week’s tracks will *not* be available as a pack, and must be downloaded separately.”

Hmmmm… that means it looks like a $6 download week for all the DLC, beh.
