“Majority” of Rock Band Songs to Cost $1.99

While I think we can all agree that Rock Band’s downloadable content structure beats the hell out of Guitar Hero’s, what with being able to download songs individually. The sticking point, though, is the pricing, which has been announced to be anywhere from $0.99 – $2.99, with the majority – whatever that means – coming in at $1.99.

Should you opt to purchase a bundle, you’ll get a discount and pay $5.49, nearly a dollar cheaper than Guitar Hero III’s $6.25 packs. No word yet on what a full album will run you.

Additionally, the first five week’s worth of releases has been laid out and can be found after the break.
