Excited about Rock Band 3 this holiday, but want to get your new Rock Band fix, earlier? Well, you are in luck, especially if you’re a Green Day fan. Green Day Rock Band will be a standalone disc, so sorry, no replica Billie Joe guitar. The game will feature 47 tracks by the band, and will support The Beatles Rock Band’s three part harmonies. However in an interesting very Green Day twist, you can only have one guitar player. What I find interesting about that, is that most newer Green Day songs have added a second guitar, in fact the band plays live with a second guitar player.
The tracks are all exportable to your hard drive for a fee of $9.99, but there appear to be a wide range of ways to get that fee waived. The first is to pre order the game from GameStop, the second is to buy the special edition Green Day Rock Band Plus which comes with the voucher as well as all the Green Day DLC that has been previously released and special packaging. Speaking of DLC, if you already own Green Day tracks you will be able to play them in Green Day Rock Band and the game will add three part harmonies. We’ve added a trailer for the game above, it comes from Joystiq who have slightly more info including exclusive Green Day videos you can unlock by playing the game.
