Rush classic “Moving Pictures” will be released to Rock Band

Posted by Hung on August 23, 2008 under Music

The seminal Rush album “Moving Pictures”, which includes their best known classics like “YYZ”, “Limelight”, and “Tom Sawyer”, will be available for download and play on Rock Band this Tuesday. All tracks are supposedly taken from their masters. What should be truly interesting is that it will include the rarely-played live but often-requested track “The Camera Eye”, so fans can at least pretend to play the track in its whole 11 minute glory. :)

Rock Band for Wii Release Date Announced

Posted by Hung on March 25, 2008 under Other Crap

According to this article, Rock Band will be available for the Wii on June 22. However, at this time, it seems likely that both online play and downloadable content will not be likely. Hopefully, they will be able to work these things in anyways.

On the upside, getting a PS3 seems to become a likely path for me now that Blu-Ray is more or less the de-facto standard for hi-definition discs. That, and the new live Genesis release will be available on Blu-Ray as well. :) So maybe I’ll hold out and get Rock Band for that instead. Except that my TV doesn’t handle HDMI, and I don’t know if a DVI adapter will solve the issue…

Minor update: my connection is HDCP enabled, so an adapter WILL work. Woohoo!
