This just in, the game, Rock Band, which opened its online music store recently has just sold around 6 million songs. A gold mine indeed since music sales have plummeted over the past months.Rock Band is a game where you place your shoes on a member of a band, let’s say a lead guitarist, or a drummer, and emulate it as if you are the one playing the song.
