Template:For Rock Band Track Packs (called Song Packs in Europe)[1] are a series of supplemental media discs for the Rock Band series of music video games. The packs are developed by Harmonix Music Systems and Pi Studios, and distributed by MTV Games and Electronic Arts. Harmonix has announced they will release additional discs, containing new songs not in the original release that have been made available through downloadable content. The track packs are fully functional stand alone games and do not require separate Rock Band titles to play.[2]
Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 1Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 1 was released for the Wii and PlayStation 2 on July 15, 2008. The addition was announced on May 5, 2008.[3] This disc contains 20 songs previously released as downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.[4][2] The following songs are featured on the first track pack. As there are only 20 songs, all tracks have been re-arranged into "Stages" instead of Tiers, with 4 in total. All songs are master recordings.[4]
AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track PackAC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack was announced on September 29, 2008, and was released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 on November 2nd. The Wii version was released on November 16, 2008. The pack contains all 18 tracks from AC/DC's album Live at Donington. The game, through pre-existing licensing deals that AC/DC has with the retail chains,[5] is only available at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.[6] This exclusivity agreement is only applicable in the United States. Each copy of the track pack includes a code that can be redeemed online to allow Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners to download the content to their console for use in other Rock Band titles. The game can also be played as a standalone title, including a number of Achievements for Xbox 360 owners, but otherwise does not feature many of the gameplay elements of the full Rock Band titles, such as character creation or customization, online play, or a World Tour mode.[5] The PS2 Version retails for $30. The track pack for PS3 and X360 consoles, as well as the version for the Wii, cost $10 more.[7][6] The Guitar Hero guitar for Wii is compatible with this game. Harmonix has confirmed that the songs will remain exclusive to the disc release, citing AC/DC's preference to sell their music as full albums instead of singles. They have not ruled out releasing the content in the future should the band's views change.[8]
Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 2Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 2 is an expansion disc for the Rock Band series featuring 20 master recordings previously released as downloadable content on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network Store. Unlike the first expansion, Vol. 2 is available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as the Wii and PlayStation 2. Much like the AC/DC Live pack, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions also include a code to export the songs to a hard drive for use in other Rock Band games.[9][10][11] The following songs are included on the game disc:[9]
