Cheap Rock Band Tracks Are For PS3 Owners As Well

...about Transformers cos theres more than meets the eye... S'OK, PS3 owners. When McDonalds inked their little Rock Band advertising deal with Harmonix and MTV, they weren't just catering to the 360-owning demographic. They're thinking of you, too. So while the initial announcement may have come from Microsoft, MTV have since contacted us to let us know that the deal - which sees a range of songs on sale for 50% off - will apply for Rock Band on the PS3 as well.

I didn't need another reason to get "Rock and Roll Band" but this will do nicely.

The only downer here is that I've already paid full price for half of these.

PS. Mike Patton rules...

I guess I will have to buy some now. I only downloaded "Still Alive" so far, and it was free.

@Glen-L-Ivet:

While Mike Patton does in fact rule, Chuck Mosely was the vocalist on "We Care A Lot". Patton didn't join FNM until the third album.

@Glen-L-Ivet: Sorry man, Patton wasn't on that album. Chuck was.

Free is my favorite price, but half off will do also :)

i already bought Crushcrushcrush" by Paramore and Boston's "Rock 'n Roll Band" when i got the boston pack. i'm not sure i want the other songs...but maybe the reduced price will sway me.

@dh4645: If you like a challenge, "Shockwave" would be a worthwhile pick up.

@sphenodont: @Luke Plunkett:
Yeah, yeah you're both right.
But Patton did it when I saw Faith No More, Soundgarden and Voivod play a gig at UW-Eau Claire in 1989 or so.

Patton dove into the crowd, I yanked his shoe off and threw it back on stage. If there had been ebay back then I'd have kept it.

@superdynamite:
Hell yeah Fantomas. Get those tracks!

...oh, wait. Patton doesn't actually sing words in the Fantomas songs... kinda hard to make a Rock Band sing-a-long...

Mike Patton is the king, no matter the band. Greatest rock singer in the past 30 years. I'm Thomas Russell in SF.

I'm glad I waited, I was about to download several of these tracks, now I'll just wait 'till they're for cheap.

If they sell the expansion disc for PS3 I'll buy the game. Until then, the massive hardware cost just isn't worth it for the number of songs available, especially when it's the price of a whole game more expensive than Guitar Hero to just get the game and the guitar.

@superdynamite: you sir are on the same wavelength as I

@Highlander Wolf: well there is Director's Cut, but yea hahaha

Just imagine what Patton's "Adult Themes for Voice" would be like!!(the album is a collection of hey I'm in a hotel room on tour with FNM, I have a mic and a four track rec.)
