    Default Rockband AC/DC track pack

    Anyone get this yet? Going to pick it up tonight but besides it being a track pack for Rockband what did you think of the songs?

    Tell me what you think of it. By the way, how much does it cost? I tried to look it up on Gamestop and Bestbuy to get a price, but neither even had it listed.

    Wal-Mart exclusive, but GameStop does have trade in values for used ones; we already have a used 360 version for $24.99.

    Keep in mind that you have to use a token code to import the songs into Rock Band's play list, and the code is only allowed once. If you buy a used one, you may only be able to play it as a stand alone disc.

    whole lot of rosie is there and it's a great song.
    I highly recommend picking this disc, pretty much all the classics, and live at donington is considered to be on of their best concerts.
    each song has at least one solo, with most songs having two or three!
    there are even songs with four solos hehe.
    amazing pack.

    I bought this. The game on the disc is pretty meh.. Well, it's not that bad I suppose but it uses the Rock Band 1 interface, there's no online play (not even leaderboards!), and no AC/DC in game graphics and such. It's pretty bare bones and this is obviously intended to have the songs exported to Rock Band 2. If you buy it used it's almost a sure bet that the code has been used.

    I'm not a huge AC/DC fan but the song list is great, it seems to have all their biggest hits. For being live they all sound very good. If you played the The Who live tracks you know some of the notes are kind of not quite where they should be (live recordings and all), that doesn't seem to be present here which is a plus in my book.

    I don't know if you know this but ac/dc sounds better live than in studio, and this is one of their best concerts.
    I'm so glad we got live at donington instead of studio tracks.
    ps.and who live at leeds one of their best concerts too, they sounded amazing.

    Ya I played it and have to say I loved the song list but as someone posted above its pretty bare bones - No online and build off of rockband 1. I think its awesome they include the code to merge them into your RB2 setlist. Altogether not bad - you get 18 songs for 40 bucks. Right about the same as you pay for DLC.

    I've definitely been pleasantly surprised with all the live tracks for Rock Band so far.

    What I mean with The Who songs is when you play them on guitar (probably the same for other instruments) the same repeated riff in a song might have a slightly different timing on the notes due to it being live. It can definitely catch you off guard when you're playing them in the game and see the notes coming down the track. For me, that's a bit annoying. It's not present in the AC/DC Live pack as far as I can tell, so I don't know if they simply did not chart any inconsistencies or if those types of inconsistencies are just not present.

    I was so looking forward to this, but it's just too expensive. $20, sure. But $40 is too much, IMHO. (Plus I can't stand supporting Wally World.)
