Rock
Band Unplugged helps players keep on rocking by delivering the first PSP game to
feature an in-game store for downloadable content.  Harmonix will stock the
music store with 10 tracks at launch, and additional music will be released on a
regular basis. PlayStation®Network will power the in-game store, and
players can use their existing PlayStation Network accounts to purchase tracks,
similar to the Rock Band console experience. PSP system owners will also have
the option of purchasing tracks via PlayStation®Store on the PC.

 

 The first 10 DLC
tracks that will be available in the Rock Band Unplugged music store starting
June 9, 2009 are listed below.  

  • 30 Seconds to Mars      “The Kill” 

  • Belly                              “Feed the
    Tree” 

  • Disturbed                       “Inside the
    Fire”

    Steps” 

  • Muse                             “Hysteria” 

  • Mute Math                     “Typical” 

  • No Doubt                       “Just a
    Girl”

    “Wonderwall” 

  • Paramore                       
    “Crushcrushcrush” 

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers    “Under the Bridge” 

Rock Band Unplugged creates a full band
experience in the palm of players’ hands by combining traditional beat-match
gameplay with key elements from both Rock Band and Rock Band 2, such as
overdrive and chords.  The hands are the “peripherals” in Rock Band Unplugged,
allowing players to take direct control of the lead/bass guitars, drums and
vocals. Players can expect an in-depth Rock Band experience with fully
functional modes, like World Tour, Band Survival and Warm Up, as well as a
robust character creator for full rocker customization. 

 

 To commemorate
the debut of the Rock Band franchise
on the PSP system, Sony Computer Entertainment America plans to release a
limited edition Rock Band-branded PSP
Entertainment Pack at the launch of Rock Band
Unplugged. The bundle will include the game, a “Piano Black” PSP
system, a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo™, and, in the United States only, a voucher
to download Paramount Pictures’ School of Rock from PlayStation®Store.
The Rock Band Entertainment Pack will
be available in North America for $199.99 (MSRP).

 

 Rock
Band Unplugged is developed by Harmonix in
partnership with Backbone Entertainment, a Foundation 9 Entertainment studio,
and is distributed by Electronic Arts.  The game will retail for $39.99 in North
America, ç39.99 in Europe and 24.99 in the United Kingdom.

 


 Rock Band
Unplugged is rated “T” for Teen with a descriptor of Lyrics and
Suggestive Themes by the ESRB.
