'Green Day: Rock Band' Booked For June 8th Release

It's been a big announcement week for big-time acts in the world of music gaming. Lady Gaga notified everyone about her arrival to "Rock Band," Jay-Z and Eminem are teaming up for more "DJ Hero" tracks, and now Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool have a release date for "Green Day: Rock Band" on June 8th.

The game's 47 tracks will include "Brain Stew," "Jaded," "Hitchin' a Ride," "American Idiot," "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," according to a press release today that set the launch date in stone. As a standalone package, "Green Day: Rock Band" will run $59.99 on the 360 and PS3, $49.99 on the Wii and $69.99 as a "Plus" edition for the 360 and PS3 that also includes six DLC tracks.

Additionally, the 360 and PS3 editions will allow track exportation to "Rock Band," "Rock Band 2" and "Rock Band 3" for a $9.99 fee. I don't know how many of Jason's picks for the track list will be found there, but hopefully we'll find out in the coming months.

Personally, I'm hoping to see some significant "Kerplunk" representation on there. As strong as the band has stayed in recent years, the early '90s produced most of my favorite Green Day songs, and I'd hate for "Private Ale" or "Christie Road" to get passed up.
