Rock Band: AC/DC pack to hit non-Walmart shelves soon photo

Remember that AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack that was released only at Walmart last November? Well, if you missed out or couldn't bring yourself to walk into the mega-retailer's stores, good news -- you should be able to get it elsewhere this November. 

GameStop is listing the track pack for shipment on November 4 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and PlayStation 2. If GameStop is correct, the 18-song disc (all live tracks) will run you $19.99; when the disc hit Walmart last year, it cost anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99. So if you paid that much for it, be happy knowing you were a year ahead of the pack on this one.

These standalone discs for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have their own trophies, and all of the tracks can be transferred to your hard drive for play in Rock Band 1 or Rock Band 2. Neat, right? (No, that doesn't work for Wii or PS2... sorry!) Also of note, like 90% of the songs have those "big rock" finishes, because AC/DC doesn't know how to calm the hell down.

Didn't this happen already? Or maybe it was just announced a while ago.

Also of note, like 90% of the songs have those "big rock" finishes, because AC/DC doesn't know how to calm the hell down.

Haha, so true. And they start you off on Thunderstruck which, if you're on guitar, is a wicked kick in the cunt.

As much as I love AC/DC, I don't think I'll be buying this, because most of those songs are live versions. I hate live versions.

The solo/end rock part in Let There Be Rock (Live) is seriously like 2-3 minutes long. Sure, it's nice because you can get like 200,000 points with a full band in just that end part, but man...it's tiring.

Seriously? Just now? The AC/DC Track Pack's been selling at EB Games up here in Canada since it was announced, and only for 10$

Anything during the Bon Scott years would be good. Also, where is the Guitar Hero Pink Floyd? Or Led Zepplin for that matter.
