I had to look up the developer just so I could confirm whether this game was developed by EA or not. Surprisingly it is developed and published by Harmonix. At least they allow you to use the instruments from previous games. I will give them that.

That is a hefty price to download all the songs. I am surprised they do not offer bundles as a means to lower the price a little if someone wanted to download all of the songs rather than a few select songs here and there.

They have some song bundles mostly by band/group or genre. Also don't see what's the issue with the DLC? They just give you plenty of songs to buy, just like for example Itunes.

The DLC is questionable because if you want all of the content in this game you are spending just shy of $4,000. If you include the game and the 'instruments' that come with the game it cost more than $4,000 for the full experience.
I understand that you can download music from iTunes, downloading music gives you multiple downloads, which you can upload onto you phone, computer, iPod etc. The DLC for this game is only for that, this game. Yes you are buying music, but it is different to the experience in buying music on iTunes is. Also iTunes is cheaper as others have pointed out.

 

I understand that programming and licensing is involved, however with the core game already being built the programming would be fairly easy to carry over into other tracks. Rythm games are not necesssarily as state of the art as other games on the market, most of the cost in making developing a game such as this would be licensing. If you are content with only downloading a couple of tracks it is fine, however, it is a completionists nightmare.
