As we rush to sum up Microsoft’s press conference that ended just recently, press releases galore are flooding out from Los Angeles. First up was Rock Band 2, announcing what will be coming on the disc, as well as re-confirming that the game is a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360.

There will be over 100 songs on the Rock Band 2 soundtrack, with over 80 songs on disc plus an additional 20 bonus tracks which will be made available for free download on the Xbox Live Marketplace this Fall.

Here’s everything that Harmonix wants you to know:

• After 14 years since Guns N’ Roses last official music release, Axl Rose selects Rock Band 2 to debut official new track “Shackler’s Revenge” from the highly-anticipated album Chinese Democracy.
• Rock Band 2 is the first and only video game to feature the music of AC/DC. It includes their epic rock anthem, “Let There Be Rock.”
• For the first time ever, music from American music icon, Bob Dylan, is featured in a video game with “Tangled Up In Blue.”
• Rock Band 2 will feature backwards compatibility with all Rock Band downloadable music content released to date.
• Owners of the original Rock Band will have the ability to export most of the Rock Band disc tracks and upgrade them into Rock Band 2 gameplay-the first time ever in videogame history!
• With ongoing weekly DLC releases including individual tracks, track packs and full albums, the Rock Band music library will feature more than 500 songs by year’s end!

All songs listed above are also all master recordings, which is pretty damn sweet for any music fan.

There are conflicting reports around the internet thanks to confusion from what was said at the MS Press Conference. Whilst the press release states that all Rock Band 1 tracks will be transferable, on stage it was said that “most” tracks will transfer over. Apparently there will be a one-off $5 fee too in order to do this, which is a little surprising.

Despite some parts that need clarifying, this is an amazing list that will surely have Rock Band 1 adopters coming back for more. We hope to clear up some issues, so stay tuned and we’ll let you know. Share your thoughts below; is there anyone missing?
