With the release of Rock Band Blitz coming next week, Harmonix is using this opportunity to take a quick one week break from the normal DLC fare. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t getting anything at all, because Rock Band Blitz is finally coming out! Sure, you might not care much about wanting the game (until you get your hands on it, allegedly), but look at it as a giant Rock Band DLC track pack. 25 songs for $15 is a pretty good deal and you get a free game with it! Read on for the full details!
For those of you on the Xbox 360 and PS3, you will be getting a ton of new tracks with the purchase of Rock Band Blitz!

Lastly, this past week finally saw a nice number of new tracks available on the Xbox 360 for the Rock Band Network. All tracks are 160 Microsoft Points unless otherwise noted.
Here is what we saw in the past week:
• An Endless Sporadic – From the Blue/Point of No Return (2x Bass Pedal) (80 MS Points)

• Leadership By Assault – Stop Staring (80 MS Points)
• Look Left – But Then I Fell In Love (80 MS Points)
That’s a pretty huge week in Rock Band news. Any specific Blitz tracks you’re looking forward to? Personally, I’m gonna live it up like CM Punk with Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” over and over!!
We will be back to normal DLC the following week, but for now just enjoy your 25 new tracks, PS3 and Xbox owners!
Welcome Mr. New Guy.
