Just an 80's kid still playing video games
If you’re looking to do some growlin’ and screamin’ in Rock Band, Harmonix has finally got you covered. The Earache Thrash Pack will be hitting the Xbox 360 and Playstation Store next week with these heavy hitters:
A developer from Harmonix has announced via the Rock Band forums, the arrival of several Grateful Dead songs ready for this week. All songs are master tracks and will be available for purchase in either a single content pack for $9.99 or you can buy them separately for $1.99 each, if you don’t want the whole bunch.
So let your inner hippie out and get ready for good times. Here is what you can expect:
In addition to the Playstation Store udpate, you can also re-download these tracks, as they have been patched. The downloads are free if you already purchased them.
Can’t Stand Losing You

Brass in Pocket
Limelight
If you’re a parent and you feel like Rock Band or Guitar Hero is just a little too “grown up” for your kids, lighten up, because they’re gonna rebel like crazy in their teens if you don’t… or you can wait til this holiday season when Disney releases Ultimate Band.
Ultimate Band is a rhythm-based music game that’s being designed right now for the Nintendo Wii and the DS. Disney has already stated that they are working with some of the biggest bands in the music industry. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean Killswitch Engage and Ozzy Ozbourne though.
One of the cool features about this though, is that the DS version will allow players to create their own songs with the touchscreen and stylus. The Wii version will also play to the strengths of the system, incorporating the Wii-mote functionality but details for that haven’t been announced yet. So keep an eye out towards the end of the year.
Three new songs, all NIN, are available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace today. Each will cost you the normal 160 Microsoft points or you can buy the Nine Inch Nails Pack 01 for 440 Microsoft points. Here’s the list
A while back, you might remember when the March Rock Band song released were already announced. This included a content pack from Nine Inch Nails which was scheduled to be released on March 18th. I don’t know if Harmonix is trying to keep us on our toes and mix things up a bit, but the pack will now hit the Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Store several weeks earlier…meaning next week. Awesome! I love NIN. Here are the songs:
Harmonix has announced the next batch of songs for Rock Band today. Each song, all master tracks, will cost $1.99. Here’s what you get:
The latest content that will be available for download for Rock Band this week has been revealed. They will be available for 160 Microsoft points or $1.99 each.
Many Nintendo Wii owners have sadly have to sit by idly waiting for any news of Rock Band coming to their consoles, and now they can run into the street screaming and celebrating. That would be weird, wouldn’t it? Anyway, a conference call held by Electronic Arts has revealed that a Wii version of Rock Band will be coming. An official release date wasn’t given, but it is scheduled to hit shelves in the fiscal year of 2009.
You won’t see this stuff for a whole month, but at least you know what’s in the pipeline for March.
March 4 – Thrash Pack
March 11
March 18 – NIN Pack
March 25 – Metal Pack
