More tidbits from the EA press conference...
They see this game as a platform for experiencing music in a new way. "As active participants in the music making." They have "ambitious plans" to roll out online. Every week, they will release a new batch of music online. And within the first year, they say they will have hundreds of songs online.
Rock Band will even offer albums, IN THEIR ENTIRETY, onto the platform. The first? The Who - Who's next.
Also a bunch of Metallica songs. They plan to go "very deep" with select bands. And will have much more to announce soon.
