I'm surprised by the reactions in this thread. What is wrong with having a lot of DLC available for your game. It is completely optional content. It should also be noted that the DLC available for Rockband for is the cumulation of DLC for Rockband 1, 2, 3 & 4.

It is quite surprising that they are charging $2 for songs when the same songs can be purchased and owned on iTunes and other platforms for half the price.

Of course it is going to cost more than a song available on iTunes. You have to pay the artist for the song ($1) plus the effort put into charting the song and making it available in Rockband, plus the small cut that goes to Sony for hosting the content on the PSN store.

Half the people commenting probably don't realize this and most likely were never going to purchase this game. All picket signs and pitch forks...

All the songs are from previous games, so all the work was already done (and paid for by people who bought their bad and uninspired games).

Not sure why people pay to play QTE: the game though.

And they're all available to download for new people, and if you already bought them you still have them (if you're on the same console) 

@bolded I don't even..

It's not a rythym game as you can play these kind of games with the sound turned off. ;)

Most people will buy this on PS4/XBONE, so they will have to rebuy it lol.

So much wrong with this post I just don't know where to begin...

It is the very definition of a rhythm game. And its only coming out on PS4 and XB1 because if you have other consoles you can already play rock band.

If you already own the content from the same eco system you already have any previously purchased dlc and you can use existing instruments.

As for the ignorance about not needing music etc. To state this misses the entire point of the game. Some people really enjoy music and also enjoy participating. This is essentially karaoke for rock music fans. Though on some of the pro modes it was actually exactly what the real versions entailed. If that doesn't appeal to you great. But to deride it like that is no more ignorant than calling Nintendo games kiddy.

I'm not dextrous enough to play a real guitar, however rock band allows me to enjoy the feeling and also provides enough challenge to still give me something to learn.

Newsflash, you don't need audio on any rhythm game if its using on screen prompts, but to remove the audio would completely defeat the purpose in the first place.
