Harmonix Coffers Getting Prepared for Flood of our Cashola

Every one’s very excited about Harmonix’s confirmation of the option for Rock Band 1′s transferal of tracks to Rock Band 2. For a mere five bucks they will allow us to rip the tracks off the Rock Band 1 disc for use in the sequel. This may all sound well and good, but I can’t help but feel I’m getting scammed here.

Let’s look past the obvious argument that I already paid for these songs when I bought the first disc. Didn’t Microsoft just recently announce that we will be able to load our games to the hard drive with the upcoming fall update? And surely this could be a simple firmware update for the PS3 also.
