Joys be thine: Rock Band getting Holiday-themed DLC [update]
[Update: Ruh-roh -- Harmonix has just sent out a press release in which the Wii isn't mentioned. Looks like we're waiting for these!]Here's something to while away those Christmas Day hours traditionally spent arguing with family/feigning enthusiasm for horrible presents: Rock Band downloads! Harmonix has announced a trio of Holiday tracks, all of which should be available for download on December 23: "Hanukkah Blessings" by Barenaked Ladies "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You" by Billy Squier "Blue Christmas" by The Pretenders No "Fairytale of New York"? Bah. Also, MTV Multiplayer reports that neither Activision or Konami has anything Holiday-related planned for Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Revolution. Wait, people actually bought Rock Revolution? How ... quaint. Footage of all three lies in wait past the break!%Gallery-19119%
Rock Band Weekly: Radiohead, Weezer and The Pretenders
Or: Radiohead and let the Pretenders know they're none the Weezer.Clearly, it's a worthless struggle to bring the bands providing this week's downloadable Rock Band content together in one place. Not even Harmonix dared to assemble a catch-all track pack, only offering the three new tunes individually on the Xbox Live Marketplace and -- beginning Thursday -- the PlayStation Network.Individual songs My Iron Lung -- Radiohead (160 MS Points / $2) Buddy Holly -- Weezer (160 MS points / $2) Brass in Pocket -- The Pretenders *Cover* (160 MS Points / $2) You'll find videos of the songs after the break, along with our lingering curiosity as to what content next week will bring, if any.
