We knew there was going to be a problem when Harmonix and MTV Games told us that the PlayStation 2 version of Rock Band wouldn't support downloadable content. But that won't stop them from trying to put out a little something for the folks who can't afford a PlayStation 3 and its Rock Band variant.

On July 15, 2008, Harmonix, MTV Games, and Electronic Arts will be releasing the Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 for PlayStation 2, which includes twenty songs plucked from the bowels of the internet, more specifically the v store. The sweeping selection of songs includes bands like Boston, Nine Inch Nails, and Stone Temple Pilots, as well as All American Rejects, David Bowie, and the Grateful Dead.

Full track listing is below:

30 Seconds to Mars                     The Kill
All American Rejects                   Move Along
Blink – 182                            All the Small Things

The track pack will retail for $29.99, but is worth it with the amount of stuff you're getting. It'll expand your Rock Band catalog, at least, and there should be a few more of these coming throughout the year. One can hope.
