Rock Band 3 is now available on Xbox Live Games On Demand for Xbox 360. It's available right now on Xbox Live for only $19.99, says Harmonix. That low entry price is so that you can buy a bunch of songs from the mountain of available choices to make your own playlists. New songs are added every week.
Super hardcore Rock Band 3 fans, it might be worth your $20 to get this digital download. Imagine never having to put the game disc in your Xbox 360 ever again. RB3 will always be at the ready, waiting for your single button press.

Yay, RB3!!!
I might buy it anyways just so I never have to swap discs if I feel like playing RB ever again.
Oh.
Yeah, because MS would just love to distribute a 5.5gig game to potentially millions of customers for free. All that bandwidth down the tubes for the chance to shave a few dimes off $1-2 songs that they would get anyway.
That would be unlikely with any network provider, but just about implausible with MS's XBL.
I will never have to swap discs to play Rock Band. It is always ready and waiting for me. Forever. Thousands of songs ready for me. My disc will forever remain on my shelf.
...That, and I honestly don't know how I came to own four copies of this game, but I'm honestly not complaining at all.
While I do think the "razor and blades" methodology would work well for Rock Band, the file size is still a somewhat significant hurdle.
