Future "Rock Band" downloads will work for all versions of the game
Writing about "Rock Band" song downloads in the previous post reminded me of something I learned at E3 that I had wanted to write here...
While previewing "Rock Band 2," it occurred to me to wonder whether new track downloads on Xbox Live and Playstation Network after "Rock Band 2" launches will work for both the original game and the sequel. According to Harmonix PR guy John Drake, the answer is a definitive yes. For the foreseeable future, they really are treating "Rock Band' as a platform, which means all new song downloads will work for all version of the game.
There may eventually come a day, he noted, when a "Rock Band" sequel changes enough from the original version that new track downloads can't be coded to work with old versions of the game. But that day appears to be a long way off.
Which is good news, since that day has obviously already come for "Guitar Hero" given the big changes between "Legends of Rock" and the upcoming "World Tour."
