Well, here’s another early DLC announcement. According to an administrator on Linkin Park fansite LPAssociation, the nu-metal-ish band will be bringing a ton of songs to both Rock Band and Guitar Hero this fall.
According to the post, the Rock Band Music Store will get two songs from the band’s upcoming album A Thousand Suns when it releases on September 14 — along with six older tunes. Then, a month later, on October 19, the Guitar Hero store will get six (yes, six) songs from the new album.
There’s no official confirmation from either music-game camp about the validity of this, but it sounds fairly official. Hit the Read link to see the whole onslaught of Linkin Park heading you way this fall.

Hmm, I think I’d prefer two songs from the new album and six hits vs. six songs entirely from the new album. Unless of course it’s the greatest thing ever made, but I doubt it. That seems to be RB’s strategy when it comes to packs of DLC from one artist. They have a good mix of new stuff the artist wants to promote and old stuff everybody knows and wants.
I agree, 2 new songs plus 6 hits seems like the better option for me.
The thing i get out of this is that GH is going to be breaking the 3 songs a week thing… 11 with Soundgarden, now 6 with Linkin Park! I would love the option of 6 songs a week… i just wish it would be other than 6 (new) songs, i like the RB release better.
Id rather get the 6 hits and 2 new album songs…Rock Band wins this one
