2007 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series
Introduction  The '''''Rock Band'' series''' of music video games supports downloadable songs for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions through the consoles' respective online services. Users can download songs on a track-by-track basis, with many of the tracks also offered as part of a "song pack" or complete album at a discounted rate. These packs are available for the Wii only on ''Rock Band 3''. Most downloadable songs are playable within every game mode, including the Band World Tour career mode. All downloadable songs released before October 26, 2010 are cross-compatible between ''Rock Band'', ''Rock Band 2'' and ''Rock Band 3'', while those after only work with ''Rock Band 3''. Certain songs deemed "suitable for all ages" by Harmonix are also available for use in ''Lego Rock Band''.The Wii version of ''Rock Band'' does not support downloadable content, but ''Rock Band 2'' and ''Rock Band 3'' do, with DLC first made available in January 2009.Songs from the back catalogue of downloadable content were released for the Wii weekly in an effort by Harmonix to provide Wii players with every previously available song.Following the release of ''Rock Band 4'' for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, all previously purchased downloadable content for ''Rock Band 3'' and earlier is forward compatible (with the exception of any downloadable content purchased for ''The Beatles: Rock Band'') within the same system family at no additional cost.32 downloadable ''Rock Band'' songs were released in 2007, 15 of which appeared alongside the launch of ''Rock Band'' on November 20, including song packs for Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica, and The Police.
