Harmonix and MTV Games have announced the first batch of downloadable content for their highly anticipated upcoming game Rock Band. Beginning on November 20, 2007 fans will be able to download song packs by Metallica, The Police and Queens of the Stone Age, each pack containing three songs.

Each pack has a suggested retail value of $5.49 or $1.99 per individual track (440 Microsoft Points for a pack or 160 per track for the Xbox 360). Additionally individual tracks from Foreigner, Wolfmother and The Runaways, among others, will be also available for $1.99 each (160 Microsoft Points).

Here are the packs and individual songs scheduled for release next week: Metallica Pack: “Ride the Lightning” “Blackened” “And Justice for All” The Police Pack: “Can’t Stand Losing You” “Synchronicity II” “Roxanne” Queens of the Stone Age Pack: “3’s and 7’s” “Little Sister” “Sick Sick Sick” Individual songs: asterisk denotes a cover song “Fortunate Son” - as made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival * “Juke Box Hero” - as made famous by Foreigner * “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” - as made famous by T-Rex * “My Sharona” - as made famous by The Knack * “Cherry Bomb” - as made famous by The Runaways * Joker & The Thief - Wolfmother The developers have announced weekly updates with new packs and individual song coming every week. If they can maintain the game fresh with an updated playlist they will surely have a hit in their hands. I could go on playing Guitar Hero forever if they kept on coming up with new songs. Rock Band is slated for release on November 20, 2007 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii and on December 18, 2007 for the PS2.
