Guitar Hero III gets sleighful of fresh tracks

You may remember drooling over/staring quizzically at a load of new tracks we first reported on earlier this month. We just wanted to drop a line and let you know they'd become available, with "The Warner/Reprise Track Pack" (catchy title, guys) going for 500 points or $6.25 and the "popular European bands" going for 200 points/$2.50 a piece. Though we checked the Xbox Live Marketplace, since this is Thursday, we're assuming they're dropping on PS3 today, too. In case you need a reminder, they are:

The Warner/Reprise Track Pack (master recordings)

• "Pretty Handsome Awkward" by The Used

• "Sleeping Giant" by Mastadon

• "No More Sorrow" by Linkin Park

Single song downloads (courtesy of "popular European bands")

• "So Payaso" by Extremoduro

• "Antisocial" by Trust

• "Ernten Was Wir Säen" by Die Fantastischen Vier

"Free, exclusive rock rendition" of a holiday classic

• "We Three Kings" by Steve Ouimette

We took the cover of "We Three Kings" for a spin this morning, and liked it, even though the acoustic intro was kind a tease, leaving us still wishing for more variety in the lineup. That said, we're happy to report that its worth far exceeds the asking price.
