If you were hoping to add some more Aerosmith tunes to your Rock Band roster, dream on; the band is a Guitar Hero exclusive for an unspecified period of time, reports Newsweek.
One Aerosmith song, "Train Kept a Rollin'", made it into Rock Band, but everything beyond that is strictly Guitar Hero territory, says Activision's Tim Riley.
"I can say that we do have the band exclusively, and their catalogue should be exclusive to us beyond the one or two tracks they had licensed out to Rock Band before we made our deal," he said.
It was really only a matter of time before the brawl that is Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band started using exclusive content to woo potential buyers, but it's still a drag. Will you keep purchasing content for both games just to get the music you want, or will you throw your allegiance behind a particular game, no matter what bands it offers? Both decisions have their drawbacks.
