iTunes trying to cash in on Rock Band

Posted on February 18th, 2008 at 11:08 EDT

It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the music download king, iTunes, opened their library up to the cash cow that is Rock Band. With downloadable content bringing in millions of dollars from songs added to the Rock Band title alone, it was, frankly, inevitable that this decision was put forward.

iTunes is offering up the entire song list for Rock Band in one download for the smashingly steep price of USD 73.26. You won't be forced to shell out the full amount if you don't want to though. You do have the option to download only the songs you really want at an affordable .99 per title.

So if you've already spent the money to download the song from the PlayStation Store, don't worry, as it'll only cost you another USD 1 to put it onto your PC as well.

I think that if we purchased the rights to the song on GH or RB, then we should have access to play on our pc's for free.

....or you could just record the audio out from your PS3 in vocal practice mode for a clean MP3 for free...

 

@Deldwen, It requires a lot more work than that to make a song playable for Rock Band or even Guitar Hero. Lipsync for the onstage characters, the note charts, seperate audio tracks for each instrument as well as the vocal track can NOT be achieved by just using a single automated program.

I don't think ITunes should be selling it like that. But whatever,  money talks I guess.
