MTV and Harmonix have landed themselves a sponsor to temporarily drop the price of various songs in Rock Band from now through June 1. The songs will cost just 80 Microsoft Points, rather than the usual 160. Just who is sponsoring, you ask? Why, McDonald’s, of course. Because when you think rock music, you think McDonald’s.
The sales schedule is as follows:
5/6/08-5/12/08 :
Crushcrushcrush – Paramore
Rock ‘n Roll Band – Boston
5/13/08-5/19/08 :
Shockwave – Black Tide
Sugar Magnolia – Grateful Dead
5/20/08-5/26/08:
We Care A Lot – Faith No More
All the Small Things – Blink 182
5/27/08-6/2/08:
Gimme Three Steps – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Dirty Little Secret – All-American Rejects
Hopefully this sale works out well and we see future advertisers do something similar (and with a broader selection of music). Another point goes to Rock Band in the ongoing battle with Guitar Hero.

Personally, i think rather than saving us money on songs we don’t want, they should focus more on giving us the choice of songs which are released.
Like i would love to see more Blink 182. But they only have one song.

da soc, you should still be able to buy the songs through the Marketplace even though you don’t own the game.
