Despite its reliance on physical peripherals, Rock Band 4 is probably the kind of game that you'll want stored on your PlayStation 4 hard drive at all times. There's good news for PlayStation Plus members, then, as pre-ordering the release digitally in North America will grant you access to ten extra exclusive songs. These will include everything from Duran Duran to Pantera, so a good mix for all tastes.
It's worth remembering that the title will be compatible with "most" pre-existing PlayStation kit, so if you've kept your guitars and drums locked away in a cupboard these past few years, then it may be time to dig them back out. Mad Catz will be making a brand new set of peripherals, while third-party controllers should work as well – though no guarantees in that department, of course.
The even better news is that all 1,500 DLC songs will be compatible with the title, and if you bought any of them on the PlayStation 3, you'll automatically own them on the PS4. In other words, you may already have everything that you need for the ultimate Rock Band 4 party, so you haven't got a whole lot to lose by pre-ordering now. In fact, you'll even get an exclusive theme for your troubles starting today.
And don't worry if you're in Europe: Harmonix says that it's looking to roll out the digital pre-order – with the aforementioned ten song bonus – on your shores soon.
As for the game itself, it's very much based upon its predecessors, but does come packing a handful of new features, including freestyle guitar solos and more dynamic drum fills. Will you be rocking out this October? Throw us the horns down below.

- All That Remains – "Divide"

The tracklist is shaping up quite well. Needs more Muse though
@Anchorsam_9 You can never have enough Muse.
This is a more compelling purchase then Guitar Hero because of the compatible DLC.
@adf86 I do agree that the DLC catalogue obviously makes this a better option, but I must admit I'm intrigued by the FMV approach in Guitar Hero.
To be honest, I doubt either game will set the sales charts alight like their predecessors.
@adf86 Damn right, I remember playing Plug In Baby on GH5, that was great. I'll probably get this over Guitar Hero too, cuz I have a load of old instruments that are compatible
Don't you get like 40 free songs for buying from GameStop or Amazon? This is one I'd love to have digital but I doubt it's worth it.
I can't see too many people being able to take advantage of this due to not keeping their instruments, and/or their instruments being broke and having to buy new ones when the games launches.
