This week’s Rock Band downloadable content selections are both great and a little disappointing all at the same time. Great because they’re all $.99 a track (80 Microsoft points for Xbox 360), and that these are the same tracks that previously only appeared on the February 2008 disc that came with the Official Xbox Magazine. Disappointing because they’re not Journey songs (what is the God damned hold up, Harmonix?), and if you already picked up that issue of the Official Xbox Magazine then there’s nothing new here for you. 

The three song pack (which can be purchased for $2.99, or 240 MS Points for the Xbox 360) are from bands that include Harmonix staff members. Since Band Camaro’s "Rock Rebellion," Count Zero’s "Shake," and Freezepop’s "Sprode" are already all available, this is also the first week that we can include videos of all the note charts. So even if you’re not familiar with the songs (which you very well may not be, since this isn’t Journey, after all), you can give ‘em a listen and a look to help make your decision. Or you can just say "F**k it, this isn’t Journey. No sale."

The songs will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this Tuesday, but PlayStation 3 rockers will have to wait until April 17. A full band video of Freezepop’s "Sprode" can be found above, and the remaining songs you can check out after the jump. (All videos courtesy of YouTube user corporalgregg.)
