Harmonix, EA and MTV have finally told us how much it will cost to download extra music for Rock Band, and isn't an arm and a leg.

According to GameSpot, all we will be shelling out for three-pack bundles is 440 Points (GBP 3.74 / EUR 5.12), while individual tracks will set us back between 80 (GBP 0.68 / EUR 0.93) and 240 Points (GBP 2.04 / EUR 2.79). Unfortunately nothing has been decided for full albums - although we expect something like 1200 Points as the asking price (GBP 10.20 / EUR 13.96).
