There's Unlikely To Be Anymore Rock Band Unplugged DLC. But There's Still Tons To Choose From.

With over 100 tracks already available for Rock Band Unplugged, Harmonix have decided to call an end to any new DLC for the title. For the time-being anyway. The company told Joystiq that Rock Band Unplugged has “run through [its] planned slate” and that they were “very pleased with the performance of the Rock Band Unplugged game on PSP, the Rock Band PSP bundle and PSPgo starter kit”.

Harmonix didn’t rule out future releases, but did state that the team are now busy working on the “Rock Band Network, weekly console DLC, and unannounced future projects”.

The Rock Band Network Should Be Ready Early Next Year.

Harmonix’s revolutionary Rock Band Network is due for release in “early 2010.” The system will allow unsigned and small label bands to get their music programmed and for sale within the Rock Band platform – a move which will not only provide limitless amounts of content for players, but also a revenue platform for smaller bands.

Harmonix explained to Kotaku that they are working on public beta tools due for release before “the end of the year.”

Awesome.
