Rock Band reaches six million legal music downloads
Proving that video games and music downloads can be combined, the game Rock Band has now reached six million legal music downloads. Even more interesting is the news that Harmonix will release a major patch for the game giving users access to a full online music store. Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?
Players will be able to get music downloads, as well as cover art. You will be able to preview songs before you buy them, too. Rock Band is a major step forward in the world of video games because it allows players customize their gaming experience by bringing their own music into the fray.
When you buy the game, you get 58 songs to play with, but music can be downloaded for between $0.99 and $2.99. MTV will soon use Rock Band as a way to promote new songs and albums. This really is the future of gaming.

This is a great idea, produce and upload music. I just hope that they won’t introduce a pay option. 6,000,000 is a lot of downloads, in fact it’s hard to believe.
