Rock Band New Year's update...almost

One would think that a New Year's update would come before the end of the year or by January 1 at the latest, right? Wrong. Apparently, Microsoft's Xbox 360 will receive the Rock Band content on December 30, but PlayStation owners must wait until January 8. Four bands, which includes Snow Patrol, Jethro Tull, James Gang and Deep Purple will release four songs between them.

Snow Patrol debuts with "Take Back the City," which is their debut appearance on Rock Band. The title also adds Deep Purple's "Space Trucking," James Gang's "Funk #49," and Jethro Tull's "Hymn 43."

Each will be available at the price of $1.99, but we'd imagine that a bundle should be made available that saves the user a couple of bucks. It may not be by the New Year, but look for the songs comes January 8 regardless.

    stupidiest games EVER MADE,.. they get big on the hype of idols and that stuff,.. do you wanna be a rock band, buy rock band and push stupid buttons to play a song..

     

    so for the record, If i want to make music i'll buy a real gitar and learn how the play one.. what is the fun of those games i just don't get it. I'm happy for the people that have fun of those games but if you ask me. its a waste of money.

    just put me in a team with a nice m16

     @12

    Its a video game, and by your logic, why play call of duty. 

    Just go join the Army and go to afghanistan and kill people, your still pulling a trigger on the back of a stupid controller aren't you?

    On topic... Sony is on vacation this week, so no update according to 1up.
