Almost all of the tracks will cost players 200 Wii Points each, however, the song titles marked with an asterisk have a price of only 100 Wii Points.
All of these songs are from previously released DLC from before the Wii had DLC available. It's not new, they're just catching up.
As for brand new DLC, not for a while. I don't know why you think the idea of having a lot of DLC songs is bad, really. =P

They've released over 500 DLC songs in just over a year and a half. Each one of them is an OPTIONAL upgrade to the game. While it's more expensive than buying songs on separate disks, it gives you a large amount of customizability and lets you avoid songs you have no interest in.
It's also convenient. A couple years ago, I'd have loved to have been able to have ALL my IIDX songs available at once rather than having to switch between ten disks and ten interfaces to play them all.
Whereas Rock Band's main competitor continues to release games with less than 50 songs on them and charges the full 80+ song rate for them. There's no excuse for THAT - wake me when their next "real" game comes out.
