Xbox 360 Rock Band owners may want to pick up the February 2008 issue of Official Xbox Magazine. The disc bundled with the issue will come with three "completely exclusive" songs for the game: Freezepop -- "Sprøde"
Bang Camaro -- "Rock Rebellion"
Count Zero -- "Shake"
So depending on your familiarity with these songs (and the bands, all of which are local to the Boston, MA area where Harmonix's studio resides), this might be a blessing or a curse. A blessing in the fact that getting three free songs (if you had planned on reading OXM anyhow) is nothing to turn your nose up at. But these songs could quickly become a curse if lack of familiarity ends up as a miserable fail during one of the game's longer mystery set lists. Either way, you can count on this -- PlayStation 3 rockers calling foul, wondering when they're going to get their free exclusive tracks. So Harmonix, when are they going to get their three exclusive tracks?

Yes. I really like Freezepop, so the more of them the better.
Don't really care about the other two, I'm not familiar enough with their music to feel one way or the other.
(oh and zero or whatever the tradition is)
I just listened to the two non-freezepop songs right now and.. well.. I buy the mag for the freezepop if it's good, but it's not on their myspace so I need to do some searching.
who? meh, don't have the game for anything.
People still read magazines? I'll probably buy it and use the magazine for......wow the magazine would be pretty worthless, I can't even think of anything to do with it. I'll probably take the DVD case then give the paper to a nice homeless man so he can make a blanket.
Every Bang Camaro song that has been in the Guitar Hero series has been really fun, so I don't see why this one won't be.
Burn OXM disc image to cd like the GH3 demo, put in tray, ????, profit!
Freezepop!!!
I love Freezepop.
Isn't the mag like $10? So, it's not really that free, for that cash you could download some songs by bands of your own choosing. (Metalica!!!)
Maybe not the best three songs but for the purchase of a magazine I'll do it. There must be at least one or two articles that I will read on the shitter.
Well, sucks that there's more exclusives for the 360 than the PS3, but at least I don't know those songs at all...
Freezepop?
Yes please.
Radium Eyes by Count Zero was a pretty good song on GH2, in fact they arent a bad band at all, but they could have picked a better song for the rock band treatment
Here's hoping that these are available for free or, at worst, purchase online at a later date.
Sprode is one of my least favorite songs in a music game ever. It was in either Frequency or Amplitude, I forget...Actually, I wish I could forget the song altogether.
Anyway, I have a card to get a free issue of OXM, so it looks like now is the time to use it. I'm afraid I'll get the January issue, though. Anyone got a clue when the best time to send the card in would be to get the Feb issue?
i want all three of those songs.
hopefully we get a repeat of the demo and we can just torrent the files, burn them to a disc and get the songs that way.
otherwise im buying a magazine...
->TheBrain: That was actually called "super-sprøde", and it was in amplitude. I don't think this is the same song, but I could be mistaken.
I'd probably get the magazine for this if a) it was released over here, and b) if rock band was released over here.
Sooo how exactly does that work?? Do you copy the songs to the HD?
@MrWilson: You more than likely install the songs onto your HDD from the disc. DLC has to be stored on the HDD anyway.
That's nice.
