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

We desperately need some TSO DLC
(Thats Trans Siberian Orchestra, for those not in the know)
Jerk Face @ Dec 20th 2007 8:55AM
Ha ha... You know, as much as I loathe TSO, I think that is an absolutely perfect choice for a little GHIII goodness.
Obie @ Dec 20th 2007 8:59AM
Love the topic pic, gg guys.
smear @ Dec 20th 2007 9:16AM
It's Mastodon, not Mastadon. And Sleeping Giant is the best track on this list. More metal the better. Linkin Park and The Used are crap. Bring more Pantera and Lamb of God.
jsn @ Dec 20th 2007 9:19AM
boring tracks.. GH is dead.. it just doesn't know it yet. Rock Band forever.
JerJerBinks @ Dec 20th 2007 9:34AM
I would hardly call these tracks fresh.
I hate you Activision. Your DLC sucks, and you continue to piss off your customers. Release the god-damned PS3 guitar compatibility patch already!
Papa @ Dec 20th 2007 9:59AM
Keep crying. There's a slight chance that they might not turn a blind ear toward you.
JerJerBinks @ Dec 20th 2007 10:17AM
All I have to say about that is "asphinctersayswhat."

Huh?

JerJerBinks @ Dec 20th 2007 2:39PM
Foiled again, damn you Crono!
PhrawzT @ Dec 20th 2007 9:36AM
Hooray Mastodon! If they are going to have a track by Die Fantastischen Vier, why couldn't it have been Die Da?
Samo @ Dec 20th 2007 9:43AM
Can anyone tell me what that picture is of?! Can't make it out, and it hurts my brain :(
AstralShine @ Dec 20th 2007 9:47AM
The picture at the top? The Three Wise Men.
Gangsta Smurf @ Dec 20th 2007 10:23AM
More like sleighful of fresh crap.
DrNicodemus @ Dec 20th 2007 10:33AM
Lame.
Rock Band is slowly destroying GH. That is, for those of us who don't need the challenge of beating Through the Fire & Flames or some crap on Expert.
jsn @ Dec 20th 2007 4:53PM
sorry no, activision destroyed guitar hero the day they bought it. Rock Band simply keeps us from having to accept what they're trying to push on us.
I'm going to pour one out for Guitar Hero later tonight.....
Markusdragon @ Dec 20th 2007 10:36AM
Pathetic.
Rob Accomando @ Dec 20th 2007 11:09AM
I agree.. LAME tracks. I'm sure SOME people might be excited, but these songs do nothing for me.
wickedpheonix @ Dec 20th 2007 11:30AM
If they're going to release DLC can they PLEASE release it for ALL the platforms with DLC?
In other words can we PLEASE get some DLC for the PC version?!
Tony Bowman @ Dec 20th 2007 11:36AM
please oh please let me have some Mastodon DLC for Rock Band! please!
Kyera @ Dec 20th 2007 12:09PM
Two hundred points?
Hah.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Dec 20th 2007 1:20PM
Yeah, after 160 pt downloads from Rock Band, 200 just seems even more outrageous.
tmacairjordan87 @ Dec 20th 2007 1:38PM
they couldn't give me linkin park songs for free let alone try to get me to actually waste money on a group that contributes to the plague that is modern "rock"
John Perkins @ Dec 20th 2007 2:32PM
Am I the only one who's confused as to why "We Three Kings" is rated T for Teen? Are there naughty lyrics in that song?
Nako @ Dec 20th 2007 4:47PM
The rating isn't for the individual song, it's for GH3.
syco @ Dec 20th 2007 6:32PM
And of course those of us with the Wii version continue to sit on the sidelines, rocking out in mono and downloading nothing onto our non-existent USB hard drives.
:(
Hafk @ Dec 20th 2007 9:00PM
Quit whining. You could be playing more Guitar Hero.
Just wait calmly for the re-release disks, they're coming.
And the USB hard drive complaint is Nintendo's fault.
Look at the bright side, atleast we have online play.
*staps on his Wiitar and goes online*
JohnHeist @ Dec 21st 2007 4:50AM
Mastodon.
With an O, not an A.
raynman @ Dec 21st 2007 11:51AM
I don't know about GH. Seems a little I have to agree that the Rock Band Special Edition is a better choice.

Rock bands "ROCKS"
David Dryman @ Dec 21st 2007 7:17PM
This is BS... these song are not available on the PS3. Activision's people are being greedy bastards already by not letting Harmonix release the guitar patch and now they are singling out the PS3 owners by releasing this DLC on 360 only. I am FURIOUS!!!
