The Rock Band songs featured in the February issue of OXM are now available to download for a dollar each. For those looking to save a couple bucks, there's always the option of hunting down an old issue of OXM at the local library and checking if the disc is still miraculously in there.
"Rock Rebellion" - Bang Camaro (80 MS points / $1)
"Shake" - Count Zero - (80 MS points / $1)
"Super Sprode" - Freezepop (80 MS Points / $1)
Videos for this week's Rock Band DLC can be found after the break ... yes, enough people asked, so we're going to keep doing it. Don't forget to download "Still Alive," which is available for free. The songs will be available next Tuesday for Xbox 360 and PSN owners will have it available when the store goes back up sometime in April.
Well, sucks for those that already have the songs. Me thinks that HMX chose last week and this week to be light on the DLC to allow for the PS3 folks to get over their Playstation store issues. Of course, this week's songs were only previously available on an OXM disc, and thus unavailable to PS3-ers. Such are the little ironies of life.
HAha, I remember on an OXM podcast where they swore up and down that those song were 100% exclusive and would *never* end up on the marketplace. Right.
Well, at least that Freezepop song is okay...if you're into that sort of thing.
they did say that. poor overpriced oxm and its cell phone ads section. bought the issue anyway and loves me some freezepop. Im glad though i dont think that was too fair to the ps3 owners, and i believe everyone should be able to enjoy all the songs.
Weak as hell. This week gets a pass since it was free, but this will be two weeks in a row where they're offering either stuff already available or one single song.
They need to get back on the horse, pronto. Prior to April HMX were doing really well with this stuff. I hope this means Who's Next and Nevermind are finally coming soon...maybe they're just dicking us around with a few flimsy weeks before the heavy hitters arrive
I love that rock band has been true to it's weekly releases, but I'm almost getting used to saying..."there's always next week". I'd even be down for a "funky" pack of disco just for the laugh factor with friends. She's a brick house would be funny shit at a party! And I normally hate disco, but don't look past the fun side of things.
Oh how spoiled we fanboys have become. I can think back to gh 1 and how we had to wait a WHOLE YEAR for new songs. I understand where your comming from and often find myself saying the same thing though. Either way they have put out new stuff every week (130+ songs?) and thats far better than the almost vaporwareish promises of Gh2 on the 360. It does suck that I already have these and paid 10 for em.
So.... when the store is constantly bitched about, Fuck Sony! Rahr!
When the store prevents updates for two weeks (due to go up on the 17th) so that it can be revised to a much better, non webbased, solution, Fuck Sony!
I swear... some of you people.... Kuturugi could finance you some Client 9 style treatment while giving you $10,000 and you'd still fucking bitch.
almost wonder if they decided to release them in the rockband store because of the big after market for the demo disc. I know I sold my demo disc one week ago for 15 dollars on ebay.
Wow, good thing I didn't wait any longer to sell my disc on eBay, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make up the price that I spent on that stupid rag.
Yes the boys from the OXM podcast were vehement that the only way to get these tracks was through the magazine. Over a number of weeks they ridiculed their cynical readers who had the audacity to suggest that it might not be exclusive.
I'm not kidding when I say that Rock Rebellion is one of my favorite songs in all of Rock Band. The solo at the end is epic. God-- I have to go play it right now.
I only spent $6 on the magazine (for whatever reason they rang it up at the same price as another item I was buying) so I wasn't as Super Screwed as some of the people here...
But this is none the less disappointing. I went out and did something to support a pack of songs I wanted, and this is how they thank me. Oh well. The next time OXM gets a disc nobody will buy it.
The funny thing is there was an issue of OXM that had a disc that included the Halo theme for GHIII. The same Halo tune that had been released for free months before.
Perhaps they should find a way to give compensation to those who already have the content.
i think their there for people who dont have highspeed. remember there are still places in the us where highspeed assholes don't put line down one particular road.
sweet.. first, one week where there is only one new song to download (who cares that its free), then the next week three songs that i already have 'cause i bought the stupid oxm (for much more than the $3 it costs to download the song pack). let's put aside the fact that these 3 songs are truly new to PS3 owners. is this a sign of the faltering of the mighty rock band dlc machine? hopefully the slack will be picked up in the following weeks.. full album downloads anyone? hello?
i would call those who purchased the demo disc just for the exclusive songs pathetic if my roommates and i hadn't just purchased another copy of the rock band disc just so we wouldn't have to wait 4-6 weeks for them to replace a scratched one... :(
