While we initially reported on Harmonix’s plans for Rock Band’s downloadable content last week, the official dates and pricing for the DLC have been revealed today, courtesy of GameSpot.
Rock Band’s DLC appears to mirror Guitar Hero’s stance: three-song bundles. But if you’re a bit tired of paying $6.25 for GH’s song packs, then Rock Band’s song packs will give you a break.
Rock Band’s three-song packs will cost $5.49 (440 Microsoft points on Xbox 360) while individual songs will range from $0.99 to $2.99 with $1.99 being the standard price point.
