Rock Band Classic Rock Track Pack on its way.

The latest ESRB listings have unveiled a new Rock Band release, though it's not Rock Band 3. Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock is apparently headed to the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and PS2 sometime in the near future. There isn't a date attached to it (the ESRB doesn't include that data), though as it has now been rated, you can expect to see it hit shelves sooner than later.

They needed a big month to contend with Rock Band's SRV "Texas Flood" and Pearl Jam's "Ten" albums. Pretty good response, I'd say.

Me too. Can't wait to not play with you. :lol:

More Hendrix is definitely a good thing. Playing Little Wing is fun as hell.

The Offspring - All I Want
The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Richard Thompson - The Way That It Shows

Activision is going into severe overkill (see: Tony Hawk series, soon to be COD series) with Guitar Hero this year. There could be as many as 8 Guitar Hero releases this year. All of which will pale in comparison to that of Rock Band's superiority.

Here are the 8:

1. Guitar Hero: Metallica (confirmed for March 29, 2009 on the PS3, 360 and PC)
2. Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits (confirmed for June on the PS3, 360 and PC)
3. Guitar Hero: Modern Hits (confirmed on the DS)
4. Hard Rock Van Halen (rumored to be coming in August)
5. Guitar Hero 5 (not the final title, we imagine--September release rumored.)
6. DJ Hero (rumored October release)
7. Band Hero (rumored November release)
8. Another as-yet-untitled DS music game

Rock Band/Harmonix > Guitar Hero/Activision

Man, sorry about the technical difficulties with the lead singer. She's pissed and getting ready to call Xbox Live. :slappy:

That was cool. Hopefully we'll get to play again.
