There’s been recent rumblings about what the final set list will be for Rock Band 2 but more interesting, is what else the game will provide right out of the box.
IGN reports (via Kotaku) that when gamers take home and open up their shiny new Rock Band 2 game this fall, you’ll be able to download the first game’s complete set list…for FREE. For fucks sake, do RB1 users get 2 for free?
Gamestop might just get a sudden influx of Rock Band discs as Activision will be relieving the slight inconvenience of disc-swapping. Rocking out will suffer no delays.

UPDATE: For those of us who didn’t buy Rock Band the ability to play all those tracks will be a great score. It also should give Rock Band 2 a much bigger initial track listing that Guitar Hero: World Tour, with which it obviously competes.
Given World Tour will allow players to create their own music it’s less of a concern for anyone who’s placed their loyalty with that camp. Eventually every track ever made could, potentially at least, be available to play on Guitar Hero. All that’s required is willpower - and probably some skill.
From an out-of-the-box experience point of view though, Rock Band 2 is going to have a lot going for it. First Harmonix tell us all Rock Band downloadable content is already compatible and now we hear that we’re getting a whole game’s worth of content for free. That’s rock and roll for you, unpredictably crazy at best!
