While the first complete album on Rock Band's Music Store (Judas Priest's 'Screaming for Vengeance') will be available for download from tomorrow, further details have now emerged of the next two albums that are in the pipeline for the game's download service.

According to Level Up, Rock Band gamers will be able to purchase the full album of 'The Cars' by The Cars when it's released on the Music Store next month. Harmonix will then follow this up by releasing 'Doolittle' by The Pixies in June.

"This is the beginning of what will be a regular flow of full albums," commented Alex Rigopulos, Harmonix's CEO.

Rock Band will be released in Europe as a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360 this May 23rd. Full albums such as Judas Priest's 'Screaming for Vengeance' will be available for download on Xbox Live when the Music Store launches in the territory on May 27th.

	By: Anonymous Added:Sun 13th Apr 2008 06:38, Post No: 51 Activision is being really stupid about all of this. I am betting they are thinking that this kind of game is just a fad or something and is hoping to control the market as much as they can. All I can say about that is look at the whole IBM vs Mac issue. Mac went propriatary on all hardware and software while IBM remained open. Until recently 95% of PC sales were IBM compatable, and the software companies that were making games for the IBMs were raking in the cash. Anytime you make such a limiting thing to the consumer they will move on to a more versatile option. The next game that comes out that will work with any and all previously made guitars, mics (American Idol, Sing Star), drums and whatever else, is going to be the winner. Then Activision will be firing whoever made the decision to keep the patch from going thru.

I know this cos I bought Rockband from the States... total cost including shipping and VAT (from customs) and extra postage was just under £130.... cheaper than all this rip off prices we have to pay in the UK.. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT????? NO body ever answers that question.

	By: griff69 Added:Tue 25th Mar 2008 22:12, Post No: 48 Excellent news about this for the wii. trouble is how much is this one gonna set us all back? and will it be packaged with all the periferals?? Hope that the current guitair hero guitar controller is compatable otherwise this may push the price up too much. anyone got any ideas???
	By: Anonymous Added:Thu 28th Feb 2008 01:11, Post No: 47 I was extreamly dissapointed, I bought both and its really is bad. They win I paid down my 60 bucks for the rockband extra guitar that will be out in april. Bad activision..bad!
