On March 24, 2009, Pearl Jam will release a reissued edition of its 1991 debut hit Ten. When that album hits retail shelves, owners of MTV Games and Harmonix' rhythm game Rock Band or Rock Band 2 will also be able to pick it up in playable form, the game makers announced today.

Though Ten's standout single "Alive" comes part and parcel with the Rock Band 2 game disc, the album contains a number of other hits from the grunge rockers. Included in the track pack will be 10 Pearl Jam staples in all, including "Even Flow" and "Jeremy." MTV Games did not reveal pricing information for the downloadable album and had not responded to inquiries as of press time.

Ten's tracklist as it will appear in Harmonix' Rock Band franchise is listed below. For more on Rock Band 2, check out GameSpot's full review.

Need to practice my Eddie Vedder warble, hehe. By the way, "Ten" > "Vs." and anyone who says otherwise is just saying that to take the dissident position (pun intended haha). No but seriously, Vs. is good, Harmonix should put out a few tracks from that album too.

I don't think they'd put a song about a cannibalistic bus driver on rock band, but I've been wrong before.

NOOOOOOO!!! I WANT DIRTY FRANK!!!!!!!!!! I still love this album and I'm definitely excited but I wish we would get the UK version. Now we just need Superunknown, Dirt and Thank You (Stone Temple Pilots, best of).

"ten is great, but vs > ten." Agreed, both are good albums... But nothing like animal or glorified g.

I can't wait to belt these songs out. In particular the last part of Porch. Unfortunately for me I'm getting my tonsils and adenoid removed AND my uvula trimmed at the end of February! AAH!! Still great news though.

Great, great...finally Pearl Jam appears just as my Xbox goes out of commission. EDIT: Got a little too excited. Looks like I have three months to get it repaired.

best dlc so far. this album was at the very top of my dlc wish list. next on my wish list is zeppelin and U2 (too many to choose but practically any 10 songs would be fine with me) green day (american idiot) and smashing pumkins (siamese dream).

Still their best album. I'm not sure if I'll download the whole thing, but definitely get a few of my favorites. Once, Black, Jeremy, Porch and Deep would be the ones I'd pick.

Pearl Jam is amazing, and they def. picked the best album to release. I'd rather DL 10 Pearl Jam songs for $16 than pay $50 for GH:Metallica, as much as I love Metallica. Nice one Harmonix.

great was brought up with pearl jam and Nirvana.So now i have 2 of my biggest influences in RB now especially even flow that song is amazing imo. Just now the wait for a little New found glory or Set your goals and i will be an extremely happy person cause their songs for me would be extremely fun to play.And especially singing to understatement.Still not the same as EVEN FLOW!!!!

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star...in somebody else's sky but why..why..WHYYYYYYYYYY... can't it be.. oh can't it be mine.. I love how that particular line in the song 'black' is delivered!

for those that don't understand why the release, this album is unheard of to a lot of current teenagers.... yes the history Pearl Jam = unheard of = rerelease good idea

Definitely getting this in March. Now all I need is Superunknown and Dirt to be announced as DLC and I'll be happy forever (Harmonix, I'd also accept Facelift as an Alice in Chains DLC)

This is pretty good news. Pearl Jam's been a favorite of mine for a while. Hopefully, we'll see more Soundgarden or Rage Against the Machine, too.

Pearl Jam is an amazing band, and Ten is definately in my top 3 favourite albums of any band. Ace!

Wow, this is a totally amazing album. If I hadn't given up on Rock Band about 20 weeks ago after being disappointed so often with the DLC, I might actually get it. Too little, too late.
