The blues track "If 6 was 9," rhythm and blues classic "Little Wing," and a live version of the iconic Hendrix track "Fire" will all be available as downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour on November 13th, 2008.

Making their debut appearance in a videogame, charismatic rockers, The Raconteurs are set to leave their mark with three tracks off their second album Consolers of the Lonely. The trio of "Salute Your Solution," "Hold Up" and "Consoler of the Lonely" will debut as part of a three song set list on November 20th, 2008 that will allow virtual rockers the chance to experience the killer sounds of The Raconteurs like never before.

The Raconteurs Track Pack and Jimi Hendrix Track Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 440 Microsoft Points and on the PLAYSTATION®Store for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system for $5.49.

When the house lights go down, a new generation of guitarists, drummers and fearless frontmen will come together and rock with Guitar Hero World Tour. The latest installment in the #1 best-selling video game franchise of 2007, Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero's signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless controllers with new revolutionary online* and offline gameplay modes including Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands," which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a slick newly redesigned guitar controller, drum kit controller and a microphone, as well as an innovative Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock 'n' roll anthems. Music creators are also able to share their recordings with their friends online through GHTunes(SM) where other gamers can download and play an endless supply of unique creations.

Guitar Hero World Tour is now available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, the Wii(TM) home video game system from Nintendo and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

So, it looks like GHWT is going to appeal to PS3 users by releasing new DLC every Thursday instead of Tuesday (launch DLC notwithstanding). I thought the Quantum of Solace theme was going to be on here as well, though?

Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection for Wii(TM) for 200 Wii Points.

Best line of the entire announcement right there. It's soo good to finally see Wii getting some DLC love, since it never fleshed out on GH3.

Apparently, if I read that correctly, the Jimi Hendrix will NOT be coming to Wii? =/

If this is true, consider me enraged.

I mean I like the Raconteurs, I'm glad we can get singles instead of only packs, but Hendrix DLC was one of the things I was most looking forward to. If they screw the most popular console on one of the biggest names in the game... I can't even finish that sentence.

I seriously hope they only said it that way because they haven't finalized a date for the Wii or something.
