Wal-Mart is going to have some exclusive AC/DC content for Rock Band soon with a standalone disc of one of their concerts, the Castle Donington Show in 1991. It’ll run you $39.99 for the 18 tracks. It’s completely standalone, so you can play through the Tour mode, although there will be no Score Duel, Tug of War, or any online components. The good news is that you can export the tracks (only one time per disc is allowed) to your Xbox 360 or PS3 to play them in the normal version of Rock Band and Rock Band 2. Sorry, Wii and PS2 owners, no exporting for you.
Since the product is standalone, it will include unique Achievements and Trophies. Some of them will be song specific, the others we just don’t know about yet. Stay tuned on this one as a bunch of people will be spending the money to get the extra whoring points, you can bet on it.

i love ac/dc. i just got tickets for the tour… $98 way up top in philly, but i dont care, as long as im in the house. I saw them about 9 years ago or so, and it was incredible. I may actually think about buying this game, even though i still have yet to buy any guitar hero or rock band games yet.
I like AC/DC, but I don’t see how they can charge $40 for 18 tracks when I just bought 16 RHCP tracks for less than half that amount. Making it standalone (and $40) pretty much guaranteed that this AC/DC fan will not be picking it up.
I don’t know, nostars, loots is willing to spend almost $100 just to see them. The tix are selling out so a lot of people are doing the same… I think this expansion pack will probably do really well, AC/DC still rocks! Has anyone seen their display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I work on behalf of Positively Cleveland, and we’re getting the word out about the Rock Hall. I highly encourage all music fans (and especially AC/DC fans) to check it out. You can start on our website: http://www.positivelycleveland.com/visiting/things_to_do/cleveland_rocks/rock_hall. Also go to http://www.positivelycleveland.com/intheknow to enter to win passes to the Rock Hall AND a private tour from the curator!
Hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment; just working to let people know about what Cleveland has to offer! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to Email me

I’ll laugh if GH preloads their songs to beat the competition, I doubt it. But that is too much for the expansion though.
