While Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopuloshas statedthat the company has no plans to release aRock Band 3in 2009, that doesn’t mean the music is going to stop. Sure, we expected the weekly downloadable content to continue to pour into theRock BandMusic Store. But there might be more music coming that we could have even imagined.
According to aBillboardarticle (viaYahoo! News), “MTV said it plans to increase the number of available song this year to as many as 5,000.” Yes, that’s five-thousand. Five zero zero zero. Currently, between retail discs (Rock Band,Rock Band 2, and the Wal-Mart-exclusive AC/DC disc), there are close to 600 playable for the game Harmonix have often referred to as a platform.
Doing the math, that means we’d be looking at close to 100 individual tracks being released weekly. Quite frankly, that sounds pretty ridiculous. Unless Harmonix/MTV plan to flood theRock Bandmusic store with content, iTunes-style, it’s hard to imagine they’ll reach their goal. I contacted MTV to clarify, but haven’t heard back from them at the time of writing.
So, uh, what 4400 songs would you like to see come toRock Bandin 2009?
