The Rock Band Network was launched this week to the public, along with a bunch of new songs.
There's a whole lot of pretty big name artists among them too, including; Jonathon Coulton, Lacuna Coil, Steve Vai and more.
The update is available to 360 users only at present but should make it's way to Wii and PS3's in the future. Unfortunately it's only accessible in areas that have XNA Game Studios so for us Aussies you may have to create a US account. You can then trial any song for 30 seconds but if you want to purchase anything adding Microsoft Points to a US account can be a little tricky. Buying points cards off eBay is probably the best work around until XNA is available in our area.
