Rock Band Update: The Music Store

Since Rock Band has experienced over six milliion song downloads, the upcoming patch will make it easier to get the songs you desire with the additioin of the Music Store in an upcoming Rock Band update/patch. The Store will allow you to download songs directly from the game to your hard drive, as well as rate each song by guitar, vocals, drums, etc.

Furthermore, the patch will address some issues, including:

  • Fan cap revision — Increase on number of fans possible before cap. Easy players can travel across Atlantic, Medium players have a wider range of venues and Hard players on the Xbox 360 can unlock “One Million Fans” achievement.
  • Increased diversity in Band World Tour song selection
  • Improved phoneme recognition — Improved detection and scoring for phoneme recognition. Examples are songs like Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld and Blitzkrieg Bop.
  • Microphone latency on PS3 improved.
  • Xbox 360 band logos now visible through Xbox LIVE — Parental controls prevented band logos from being visible over Xbox LIVE.
  • Faster loading of DLC — Songs are cached for a one time wait.

Oh, and full albums are “coming soon“.
