LEGOs have been used to make an oversized Nintendo DSi and now it is being used in rock and roll video games.  The new game is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, Harmonix, and MTV Games.

Some of the songs included in the LEGO version of Rock Band will include Song 2 (Blur), Kung Fu Fighting (Carl Douglas), Boys and Girls (Good Charlotte), and So What (Pink).

“Players will be able to create their own Lego Rock Band style as they customize their minifigure avatars, band and entourage, including roadies, managers and crew,” stated the companies in a press release.  The LEGO Rock Band game will work with music controllers and Rock Band instruments.

In 2007, MTV’s Rock Band franchise launched.  Now the franchise as a whole has hit a major milestone, $1 billion in sales.  These numbers are based on the North American market.  The numbers were released in a press release this past Thursday.  Rock Band players have also downloaded more than 40 million songs from the DLC selection.

Even though Rock Band 3 has not been announced yet, there will be a Beatles version of the game for the PSP coming out soon.  Electronic Arts is the distribution company of the game and it was developed by Harmonix.

There are about 600 songs available for download to add to the game.  It took Guitar Hero about 26 months to hit the same milestone whereas it took Rock Band about 15 months.  The complete version of Rock Band costs almost $200.
