You did pick up the rerelease of “Pretty Hate Machine,” right?

• “Terrible Lie”

“Head Like a Hole” will support Pro Guitar/Pro Bass expansions.  You can pick up the Pretty Hate Machine Pack 01 for 560 Microsoft Points.

Each expansion costs 80 Microsoft Points, but you must own the original DLC track to play it.

A Pat Benatar 6 pack arrives in the Rock Band Music Store Tuesday, which may or may not be directly related to the fact that if you added all the numbers in Tuesday’s date, 2/22,  you would get 6.

Conspiracy? Maybe…

• “Fire and Ice”
• “Love is a Battlefield”
• “Shadows of the Night”
• “We Belong” X

You can pick up the Pat Benatar Pack 01 for 800 Microsoft Points. “We Belong” will support Pro Guitar/Pro Bass expansion for an additional 80 Microsoft Points.

You can check out exactly what songs are in the track pack in the trailer above, then pick up the Mega Pack for 1440 Microsoft Points.

Children of Bodom’s “Blooddrunk” looks absolutely insane on Expert+ Drums. Scary, even…

Lips

Sorry Lips players, nothing on the horizon yet.

Anyone outside the US and Canada may have seen some DLC last week, but those were actually rereleases of tracks from the Lips: I Love the 80s disc.  Only players from Europe, Australia and Mexico were able to download them.

Fans of the Hero series will have to give up their Guitar Hero DLC for some DJ Hero DLC this week, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

DJ Hero 2

By surprise, a Trance Anthems Mix Pack arrives in DJ Hero 2 today for a 640 Microsoft Points! We’ve even been supplied a trailer for the DLC, which includes titles of mixed tracks and charting previews. As you should know, you’re unable to buy individual songs in DJ Hero 2

-

Rock Band

We’ve slowed down with Rock Band DLC for now, it seems. We won’t be getting a massive 8 songs like the last few weeks, but a simple three song release is today’s offering, with the starring back being Stone Sour. On the bright site, we also get a trailer for the DLC releases!

• “Made of Scars”
• “Say You’ll Haunt Me” X
• “Through Glass”

“Say You’ll Haunt Me” will support Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades. The Stone Sour Pack 01 will cost 440 Microsoft Points.

-

Lips

I wish I could say Lips players were getting more than 2 songs a week, but it seems as if two song releases will be the new normality.

• Snow – “Informer”
• Selena Gomez & The Scene – “Falling Down”

I might mention that Falling Down is, in fact… somewhat catchy.

You can pick up either song for 160 Microsoft Points each.

Lips

While there are officially four songs releasing today, only two of them are actually new songs. Two others are being rereleased in a Mika Track Pack, which will include two previously released Mika tracks and this week’s release.

• Madness – “Our House”
• Mika – “Happy Ending”

The Mika Song Pack will include this week’s release, along with previously released songs “Lollipop” and “Love Today,” and will cost 440 Microsoft Points.

There is no Guitar Hero DLC this week. The same goes for DJ Hero 2 and Dance Central, most likely due to Holiday breaks going on at this time.

Besides, we could always use a break from using Microsoft Points! Maybe check out today’s Mass Effect 2 deals on Xbox LIVE Marketplace instead?

-

Rock Band

Instead of Live songs like last time, we’re getting some studio-recorded Paul McCartney, with, of course, Keyboard, Vocal Harmonies, and one song having Pro Guitar & Pro Bass support!

Lips

While it may not be the end of the world as we know it, it IS the end of the year! Maybe that’ll make this R.E.M. song fit well… perhaps.

• The White Stripes – “Seven Nation Army”
• Rihanna – “Te Amo”
• R.E.M. – “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)”

You can snag each song for 160 Microsoft Points each!

Last week’s Lips DLC was this weeks. Sorry about the confusion!

Rock Band

A whopping eleven singles come to Rock Band 3 today, along with a Christmas song from John & Yoko, The Plastic Ono Band. If Santa’s bringing you Rock Band 3 on Saturday, you’ll be seeing these songs waiting for you to download.

Guitar Hero

Just in time for Christmas (Yes, there’s a lot of Christmas related things today.), a KISS-mas Track Pack arrives by surprise this morning. I can confirm this, since I’m at the Marketplace right now, and it’s 2AM in the morning! I promise, that’s the only KISS pun you’ll see here. Seriously.

• “Rock And Roll All Night”
• “Detroit Rock City”
• “Calling Dr. Love”

You can snag the KISS-mas Track Pack for 440 Microsoft Points.

Hopefully this is the first and last time I ever see a KISS-mas pun.

Dance Central

Three new dance routines arrive to Dance Central next week, bringing the total DLC count for Dance Central to… 9! We’re up to almost a third of the game’s on-disc song listing, it seems.

• Blur – “Girls & Boys”
• Rihanna – “Disturbia”
• Janet Jackson – “Control”

You can the songs for 240 Microsoft Points each.

Each song has their own unique dance routines as well. You won’t be dancing to recycled moves from previous songs!

DJ Hero 2

Today, a Linkin Park 3 pack of songs arrives, with a guest remix by Diplo and two remixes by Freestyle Games. Personally, this is the first time I’ve wanted to ever have the option purchase individual songs instead of a track pack. Pts.of.Athrty is the only song here that interests me. Might (well, probably) be different for others, though! We’ve even been supplied a nice little trailer for these remixes!

You can snag the Linkin Park Mix Pack for 640 Microsoft Points

Rock Band

Billy Joel arrives in Rock Band today with a massive 12 pack of songs, including “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” and a decent amount of Pro Guitar and Bass enabled songs as well.

• Kool & The Gang – “Ladies Night”
• Pat Benatar – “Heartbreaker”
• Pat Benatar – “Love Is A Battlefield”

You can snag each song for 160 Microsoft Point, as always!

DJ Hero 2

Yes, that’s DJ Hero 2 you’re reading. Sadly, I haven’t picked up the game myself yet, but at least I know there’ll be an Old Skool Mix Pack waiting for me to download once I do!

• Fat Boys’s “Human Beat Box” w/ Mantronix’s – “King of the Beats”
• Tag Team’s “Whoomp! (There It Is)” w/ 45 King’s “The 900 Number”
