It looks like those Xbox LIVE individual music stores that have been teased since the last update are finally hitting today.
Microsoft has announced that stores for Rock Band, Lips, and Guitar Hero should be available for download today. The first store, Guitar Hero VIP Pass, is a standalone program that points to all available downloadable content for the Hero titles. In functionality, it looks and feels a heck of a lot like the Rock Band music store which already exists in-game.
Personally, I find these to be welcome additions. As someone who purchases a lot of Rock Band DLC (yes, I'm guilty of spending way more money than I should), not having to pop the disc in first to browse, preview, and download the content

Holy shit this is awesome!
TL;DR: This is actually pretty cool, but...
It makes perfect sense and I agree with you it is still doing the same thing over and over.
But I like it so I frankly don't give a shit. And when it's not fun anymore I'll stop.
Somewhat valid, but I would argue that it (RB/GH) represent activities which blur the line between traditional games and karaoke.
I mean you won't be complaining about how you sang this song 20 years ago and they haven't added any new features when your still having a good time.
Lol I saw that at gamestop for 4 fu**ing dollars. Sad.
Worth it just to see the reaction on peoples faces as they try to figure out what it is.
And from time to time I play it.
I almost bought that for the lulz until I heard those covers.
I swear that's The Jonas Brothers performing My Generation.
Jonas Brothers covering The Who is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard, right up there with playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol.
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
I dunno, considering I still play UTclassic every now and then and I still find a lot of people online playing it, and that people still make maps for old games like doom and quake, I'm not sure the FPS analogy is good :P.
Thanks, now my soul hurts.
Yeah, but that's The Beatles. At least they had the same sort of image as what Disney is trying to make for The Jonas Brothers. The Who represented rebellion and wildness. The Jonas Brothers represent middle class white Stepford-people-ness.
Yes. It says "Purchased" beside the tracks.
@Arkhon
I dunno. The Beatles we kind of...druggy...publicly. But I see where you're going.
Also, for some reason, the No Doubt singles album isn't showing up as an album so it says I don't own any of those songs.
Ah well, considering I always buy the songs I want every Tuesday through the Xbox.com marketplace, I guess I don't really need a store on the Xbox to download them. Then again, it might make it easier to see which 5 dozen songs I DON'T already own in case I want to go back and buy them...
