Well, it's about damned time. Harmonix and MTV Games have launched the Rock Band music store for Rock Band 2 Wii. Finally.
Wii wannabe rockers can pick download 50 tracks, including the 20 free bonus tracks. The remaining 30 songs are only a portion of the hundreds of tracks already available to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users, but it's a start. Yes, there are plans for the Wii music store to match that of what is available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 ... it just won't happen overnight.
Each track can be purchased individually for 200 Wii Points. There will be no discounted "track pack" bundles of multiple tracks, due mostly to how the Wii Shop allows content to be delivered. Speaking of which, your storage solution? An SD card, baby. Who'd have guessed it? For optimal performance, use SanDisk's Rock Band 2-branded SD card, of course. It's magical, and the only SD card that rocks.
The full list of available tracks can be found after the jump.

Aww yeahhh.
Geeeee Iiiiiii Joooooooooe!
oh and DanGale, why don't you do a little research? Those questions were answered ages ago...ASS....lolz jk...
@dvddesign:the songs are average 200 blocks, some under, some over, but the game needs you to have 200 system memory for them
@dangayle: you can use the gh controllers on rb2, but not the first 1 or track packs, no rb controllers on gh though
@dangale: im not sure you can buy the gh wt instruments separately, i made that mistake when i got the game only, i would of liked the new guitar but owell, i guess ill wait
The Best Buys in my area are only selling the GH:WT guitars. I have yet to find the Wii drum kit except at Wal-Mart which I refuse to support. So, I would assume that the drum kit is available separately as well. I already have the GH3 guitar, so I opted to just buy the game. Those additional fret buttons don't really justify a $60 purchase to me.
Nah, they are getting the rest up, they already said they were in an interview snippet Samit posted a little while ago. I think this is just to get the ball rolling and have something there sooner rather than later.
