Network Music Store Opens for Rock Band

Posted March 4, 2010 by David Radd

Harmonix Music Systems announced today that Rock Band Network Music Store has officially launched. Announced in July 2009, this initiative allows musicians, publishers and record labels to create gameplay files from their original music through the Rock Band Network Music Store.

“The Rock Band Network Music Store gives artists at any level the opportunity to reach new fans through our deeply engaging interactive platform,” said Paul DeGooyer, senior vice president of Electronic Games and Music for MTV Networks Music Group. “This new pathway for discovery is a huge win for passionate music fans, as well as an opportunity for artists to promote themselves while positively impacting their bottom line.”

Those that submit songs to the Rock Band Network Music Store can set their own price and receive a royalty of 30 percent on the price. Over 100 tracks have been made available through the Rock Band Network Music Store and over 4,300 new users have registered as authors and peer reviewers on Creators.RockBand.com.

“The response to and interest in the Rock Band Network has been even greater than we originally expected,” said Alex Rigopulos, CEO and co-founder of Harmonix Music Systems. “We’re very excited about the number of bands and labels who have geared up to participate in the Rock Band Network, as well as the number of enthusiasts who have signed up to participate in the Peer Review and Playtest processes.”

David Radd has worked as a gaming journalist since 2004 at sites such as GamerFeed, Gigex and GameDaily Biz.

Until Activision explains how they broke their contracts, or details why they were canned, I'm inclined to believe Zampella and West. The timing of their termination (prior to payouts) is incredibly suspect.
