This week Harmionix gives us a four-pack of downloadable tracks. Two from Rush and a Pair from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. What’s interesting is that one of the tracks is a re-release of a currently available track. “Working Man” from Rush is being released as a master track (the first time it was only a cover) which also includes an alternate solo. The new tracks are listed below.

• Red Hot Chili Peppers “Snow (Hey Oh)”
• Red Hot Chili Peppers “Tell Me Baby”
• Rush “Closer to the Heart”
• Rush “Working Man” (alternate-take master)

All four songs are master tracks, and will go for $2 each. No track pack this week.

We’re all Guitar Heroes here at GamerFront, so you can bet that we love new content. It’s been pretty hard to pull us away from Rock Band though. We’ll have to make a little time over the weekend for the latest GH III downloadable track: the Halo theme song.

That’s right, Microsoft and Activision are bringing you yet another track for free. Granted, the Boss Battle pack never should have happened in the first place, but it was still a good guesture.

One has to wonder if the timing for this latest freebie has anything to do with the launch of Rock Band. Surely not.
