The cool part about this is that you can use the songs for Rock Band 1 or 2. The bad part is that some people would consider this overpriced, unless you just so happen to like all 20 of those songs. Still, kind of cool for those who just don’t do the LIVE/PSN thing.
It is nice that they are offering extra songs to people that don’t want to go online, buy, and download new songs. This track pack is cheaper than buying a full $60 game for new tracks, but in a full game you would probably get 60 songs instead of only 20.
