The Rock Band series of music video games support downloadable songs for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Users can download songs on a track-by-track basis, with many of the tracks bundled together in track packs or complete albums at a discounted rate. Downloadable songs are playable within every game mode, including the Band World Tour career mode. All downloadable songs, past and future, will be cross-compatible between Rock Band and Rock Band 2, which is scheduled for a September 2008 release.[1]

Song packs containing three songs cost $5.49 (on PlayStation Network) or 440 Microsoft Points (on Xbox Live), while song packs containing six songs cost $9.99/800 MSP. Individual songs are available for $1.99/160 MSP. Some songs have been priced at $0.99/80 MSP for a limited time before being raised to the standard price. It has been stated that future songs could cost as much as $2.99. The price for downloadable albums will vary, according to how many songs are on the album.[2] The first album download was Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest, which cost $14.99/1200 MSP.[3]

As of July 15, 2008, 172 songs have been made available as downloadable content.[4] This brings the total number of possible songs available to Rock Band users to 230. According to the game's publishers, over 200 downloadable songs will be released in 2008.[5] As of June 30, 2008, over 15 million downloadable songs have been purchased by players.[6]

Songs listed in bold text are master recordings of the song; all other songs are cover versions of the songs. All songs available in packs are also available as individual song downloads on the same date unless otherwise noted. Songs are typically available on Tuesdays on Xbox Live and Thursdays on PSN. Dates listed are the initial release of songs on Xbox Live. As of May 20, 2008, all downloadable songs are available in both the North American and European markets unless noted.
