MTV Games clarifies AC/DC Rock Band Track Pack details
Speaking to Variety, Paul DeGooyer of MTV Games clarified a couple of elements concerning the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack. The game will be available exclusively at Walmart. The tracks are exclusive to Rock Band for "a term" but no specific timetable has been set. AC/DC members won't appear as avatars in the game, you'll just be covering the songs.
The game will feature partial functionality when compared to the other Rock Band titles: "All four instruments (guitar, bass, drums, mic) are used, you can "tour" through all 18 songs on your own or in a group, there are score duels and tug of war. However, there's no online capability ... In addition, there's no character creator."
Now we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, all the songs on the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack can be ripped onto the PS3's hard drive, free of charge. They will now function like any other tracks you have downloaded from the PS Store (including online capabilities). The bad news is, you can transfer the songs once. This is done so you can't simply share the disc with your friends or resell the disc once you have transferred the tracks.
