Rock Band To Let You Play The Super Bowl Half Time Show

Any Who, the fine minds over at Harmonix have gotten a hold of what The Who are going to be performing during the Half Time show. What they have done from there is set up a track to be downloaded for the normal cost of $2 or the equivalent on each system. After that, like every other DLC, you will be able to play the mash-up of songs that you would have just seen no more than a few hours earlier. Effectively letting you drunkenly stumble through your own rendition of the half time show. Wardrobe malfunctions most likely included by the point of inebriation most will be at.

Not to bad. Well unless you are a PS3 owner of the game. Then you have to wait until the following Thursday, were you should be completely sober enough by then. Sober enough to relive the Super Bowl Half Time show by getting drunk to get back in the spirit of things. Such a great ploy.

Hopefully this works out well for Harmonix and the Rock Band franchise. If it does, I can see things like this happening again for other shows as well. Not sure what shows those would be, but you get my drift.
