Phoenix is awesome and those songs are great. I like Tom Petty but give me the hits please.

The Tom Petty Anthology album is a 4-disc set, comprised of 47 tracks. I'd hate to see the pricing on that!

Silvertide came out of left field. I really liked the record that had "Blue Jeans" on it but haven't thought about them in years - definitely in for that one at least. Those Petty tracks are kind of meh since I'm just a casual fan, so I'll probably skip them.

Best DLC Week ever.
Huge fan of both Petty and Phoenix, and to get doses of them in the same week is pretty amazing. Yes, it is more live Petty, but that is definitely not a problem for me

Breakdown is a great song, definitely in for that one. Never heard Phoenix.

Very glad to get "The Waiting"....since it is my favorite Petty song, it was sorely missing from the first track pack!

Thank you Harmonix for continuing to save me money by offering shitty DLC.

Phoenix is a new artist to Rock Band and the album those tracks are from was fairly consistently near the top of every single year-end list I've seen.

Yeah, I've seen Phoenix on a lot of "Best of 2009" lists and their upcoming inclusion in Rock Band finally inspired me to check them out. Picked up the album and it's fantastic. Will definitely be getting the two songs on Thursday.

There's a Best Buy Reward Zone Gamer's Club coupon for $20 off Lego Rock Band good between today and January 31. Their regular price on it is $49.99, with the coupon bringing it down to $29.99. Not a bad deal. What better way to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. than by picking up Lego Rock Band on the cheap?
Same coupon is also good for $20 off Ghostbusters and Hasbro Family Game night, bringing them down to $19.99 after coupon.
More at CAG.
(EDIT: Coupon is only good for the 360 versions of these games, apparently.)

I can't believe Ghostbusters is still so expensive. Great game, but for a licensed game that came out 9 months ago it should be $20 SRP by now.

I bought Gostbusters at Best Buy for 20 bucks the week before Chistmas without a coupon (was on sale, for all systems).

Rock Band Network launching Tomorrow??
http://kotaku.com/5451495/rock-band-...l+%28Kotaku%29

MTV's Rock Band Network, an ambitious program aimed at letting "anyone" upload a song to the game's store, will be launching tomorrow, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In a piece on MTV's plans for the store, the WSJ piece opens with "MTV Games is hoping to goose sales of its flagging "Rock Band" series with a new service Tuesday that lets average users upload and sell videogame versions of their own music."
We knew it was launching in "early 2010", but hadn't figured on it launching this early, and with such little fanfare. The WSJ report also says that while the service is intended for smaller bands, groups like Creed and Evanescence will have music available on the Network tomorrow. Even though they're massive acts. Go figure.
UPDATE - WaveGroup, a "game audio production group", has told Kotaku that it will be releasing music from the following artists on the Rock Band Network store:
Steve Vai
Widespread Panic
Gov't Mule
Reverend Horton Heat
Stroke 9
Galactic
Rebelution
Bif Naked
Assembly of Dust
Nick Gallant
Kid Beyond
RX Bandits
Jet Black Kiss
Doug Doppler
Austin Willacy
The Humans
Rain Dogs

A bit more info:
Harmonix has confirmed with us today that open beta registration for its Rock Band Network will open this evening. Once enrolled, link your rockband.com account to creators.rockband.com to begin uploading music, peer reviewing, and previewing tracks.
According to the developer, tracks by Jonathan Coulton and Billy Idol (as well as some Finnish death metal) will be among the tracks that are slated to appear on the Rock Band Network. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that multi-platinum artists Creed and Evanescence will also have music on the service. Indie label Sub Pop's plans are also made a bit more clear -- expect music from The Shins, Flight of the Conchords, Mudhoney, Sleater-Kinney, and The Postal Service.
Harmonix says that the actual Rock Band Network Store won't be live "until we accrue a good base of content, though we're already really excited by what we have in the pipeline." Track prices will range from $1 to $3, set by the bands and track authors.

Maybe 50 songs will be the magic number?
