Those of you who anxiously purchased Rock Band 2 Wii over the past week have unfortunately met an error when trying to access the Music Store. Harmonix assures that they are hard at work on delivering the content within the next few weeks/months.

The downloadable content is in the final testing stages and Harmonix is working as fast as possible to deliver the 20 free bonus songs for Rock Band 2, plus an additional 30 songs from the Rock Band DLC Catalog to fans as early in 2009 as possible. As soon as we can announce a firm date, you can be sure the Rock Band community will be the first to know.

It’s unfortunate that Harmonix was unable to provide a solid store offering at launch, but the future of downloadable song content looks optimistic. Hit the jump to see which 20 free songs you’ll be receiving.

SD card streaming confirmed for Rock Band 2

With Guitar Hero World Tour’s undying promise for downloadable content it’s no surprise Rock Band 2 wants a piece of the pie. The big question to Harmonix since their announcement has been a solution to song storage. MTV Multiplayer has the info…

“Rock Band 2? does read 100% from the SD card, but it doesn’t appear Nintendo will be allowing for games to be executed off the card just yet.

Motown asked…” I’ve always wanted to know how they’d fit all that DLC content on the Wii’s 512MB of flash memory? Would you have to add an SD card to download more than 17 songs?”

It’s unclear just how many songs would fit on a clean Wii’s system memory. That depends on what song you are downloading. The longer the song, the more memory it’s going to take up. But it’s safe to say there won’t be much space for users who are also taking advantage of Virtual Console and WiiWare. An SD card will probably be a must for “Rock Band 2? Wii owners who want more than disc music. So, yes, you’ll likely have to have an SD card.

Sounds like streaming DLC on the Wii version of Rock Band 2 is at a halt until Nintendo releases that much needed firmware patch for SD streaming.

DLC and online play confirmed for Rock Band 2 Wii

USA Today posted a small article recently that confirms full online features for the Wii version of Rock Band 2.

While unannounced, MTV Games has confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Wii version of “Rock Band 2” will offer the same online functionality — i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes — as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions. The PS2 version, however, will not include online connectivity.

This statement has been further backed up when Harmonix confirmed the news via Kotaku earlier today. What does this mean? The battle between Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2 has just fired back up for undecided Wii owners. Just how will Wii owners be able to transfer RB1 songs to RB2 still remains a mystery.

A simple Wii storage solution would really solve a lot of these headaches.
