We have super, fantastic, amazing, glorious, superb and geeky Rock Band news for you today. Hmxsean just announced tomorrow's Rock Band downloadable content (seeing that it wasn't announced last Friday) and folks, it's finally here. Revealed back during GDC, Portal's hit song "Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton will be available for download tomorrow off the XBLM for (get this) 0 Microsoft points. Yes sir, they're offering the "Still Alive" Rock Band DLC for FREE! And even though it's April Fool's day tomorrow, we don't expect this announcement to be a fool. Because, if it were, Harmonix employees would have to fear for their lives. We just have to say it again, but this time in caps ... "STILL ALIVE" WILL BE A FREE ROCK BAND DOWNLOAD TOMORROW! W00T!
Also, just to fuel the fanboy fires, the rockers over on the Playstation 3 will have to wait a few weeks to get their "Still Alive" DLC fix. Mwahahaha, enjoy!
[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

Although I wasn't insane about this DLC, making it free makes me pretty excited about it. Big Ups for RB.

Awesome! I was hoping this would be a 99 cent track. This is even better.

Amazing, that Valve, Harmonix, EA and Microsoft all came together to make this happen.

I must be missing something... This song is quite possibly the most annoying song ever.

Why is Jonathon Coulton cool? Is this the 2nd song from him they have done? Please explain why I should appreciate it. I am new to his music.

This is the song that plays during the credits of Portal, it's funny but probably only if you've played the game.

Hang on, since I'm only a lowly "silver" member, does this mean I have to wait a week to get this track? If so: weak.

Me and my friends were just talking bout this song last night. Cant wait to download it tomorrow

If you haven't played Portal, then you're not going to understand what the fuss is all about. "Still Alive" as sung by GLaDOS, IMO, is one of the coolest songs to ever come from a video game (and probably the most sinister considering what it means for a sequel). I can't wait!

Wow, laff @ the people calling this song trash.
Get some context.

Still no TOOL... How disappointing..

Most likely those who don't like this song either
A) Have never played Portal in it's entirety.
or
B) Have absolutely no sense of humor.

About bloody Time.

People reported this on the Rock Band forums, and I just checked it out for myself, but it's available for download right now.

hehehe. GlaDOS is listed as the singer, not Ellen McLain.

This has got to be April-Foolery.
I'll be wary.

Am I the only one who is disappointed that the supposed March 25th dlc hasn't come out? If anyone remembers the march listing it said there would be.
Iron Maiden - Wrathchild
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
Metallica - Fuel
I've been waiting for a month for these to come out and now this is no word on any of it???????
