10th August, 2011 By Sarah Morris

This week's Deal of the Week offers five different song packs for the Rock Band games, all at around 25% off - that works out at between about 80p and 90p per song, depending on what pack you buy. So if your Rock Band library needs bolstering, now is the time to do it!

Metallica Pack 01

Was:

440 Microsoft Points (about £3.74)

Now:

320 Microsoft Points (about £2.72)

Probably only for the hardcore lunatics among you, Metallica Pack 01 features three songs by Metallica, which will probably all be ludicrously hard on all instruments (except maybe vocals, anyway):

  • And Justice For All
  • Blackened
  • Ride The Lightning

Blink-182 Pack 02

Was:

440 Microsoft Points (about £3.74)

Now:

320 Microsoft Points (about £2.72)

Once you get fed up of failing the songs in Metallica Pack 01, you might want to move onto this pack, which contains three Blink-182 songs - probably a damn sight easier, although you'll have to get past his annoying voice:

  • First Date
  • I Miss You
  • Adam's Song

Lady Gaga Pack 01

Was:

560 Microsoft Points (about £4.76)

Now:

400 Microsoft Points (about £3.40)

While they're not really songs you'd imagine would work on a game like Rock Band, some of you Lady Gaga fans might think differently - this song pack features four of Lady Gaga's greatest hits:

  • Monster
  • Poker Face
  • Bad Romance
  • Just Dance

Bon Jovi Greatest Hits: Rock Band Edition

Was:

1600 Microsoft Points (about £13.60)

Now:

1200 Microsoft Points (about £10.20)

This pack features twelve of Bon Jovi's best-known songs, some of which have been upgraded for Rock Band 3 by adding keyboard support and/or vocal harmonies:

  • Bad Medicine
  • Blaze Of Glory
  • Have A Nice Day
  • I'll Be There For You
  • It's My Life
  • Lay Your Hands On Me
  • Livin' On A Prayer (RB3 Version)
  • Runaway
  • Wanted Dead Or Alive (RB3 Version)
  • We Weren't Born To Follow
  • Who Says You Can't Go Home
  •  You Give Love A Bad Name (RB3 Version)

Queen Pack 01

Was:

1280 Microsoft Points (about £10.88)

Now:

960 Microsoft Points (about £8.16)

This pack might be a good investment for those of you who still need the 'play a downloaded Queen song' achievement on Rock Band 3, as Queen Pack 01 contains ten popular Queen songs:

  • Another One Bites The Dust
  • Crazy Little Thing Called Love
  • Fat Bottomed Girls
  • I Want It All
  • I Want To Break Free
  • Killer Queen
  • One Vision
  • Somebody To Love
  • Tie Your Mother Down
  • Under Pressure
