Updates for Rock Band

The greatest (music) video game ever will be getting a substantial update this week. Owners of Rock Band (both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions) will be getting a nice patch to the game that will allows users to purchase new songs within the game itself rather than having to navigate through those messy marketplace menus.

This feature will be included in the main menu for the game and will allow a number of advantages over a marketplace download. First, users will be able to preview songs before purchasing, that way you know exactly what you are going to get.

Second, you will get a difficulty rating for each part (vocals, guitar, bass, and drums), that way you know what kind of a challenge you will be taking on. 

Also, there are updates for the fan caps on the Band World Tour that will allow people to continue further before being urged to try higher difficulty levels.

All around a nice update. Now we need some more good songs to download. (Where is my BRMC?)
