If you’ve been shaking your fists at Activision for not providing you with enough punk songs in Guitar Hero: World Tour, you’re in luck. It was recently announced that a pack called the Epitaph Punk-O-Rama Track Pack has been added to both Xbox Live and the Playstation Network.

Below is what you will get for 440 Microsoft Points or $5.49:

• “21st Century Digital Boy” by Bad Religion ($1.99 PSN / 200 Wii Points)
• “Linoleum” by NOFX ($1.99 PSN / 200 Wii Points)
• “Ruby Soho” by Rancid ($1.99 PSN / 200 Wii Points)

Now before you continuing reading, if you are actually planning on purchasing Rock Band or Guitar Hero head here because they are selling out fast.

Anyways, Gamestop has recently announced a Music Blowout sale which will slash prices across the board on everything from Guitar Hero: Aerosmith to Rock Band 2. Unfortunately, as I stated above, the bundles are selling out extremely quick but you can still pick up, for instance, Guitar Hero: World Tour bundled with a guitar controller for just $49.99, a huge savings from the original $99.99.

There’s no official word as to why Gamestop is doing this but a hunch says it’s in anticipation of games like The Beatles: Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5.

Sony is proud to announce that their karaoke themed series, SingStar, has just turned 5. Better yet the series has sold over 16 million copies since it’s creation.

Kotaku says that this number can be attributed to the fact that there are 70 different individual titles of the game as pretty much every region recieved their own indiviudal version.

Me personally? I’d take Rock Band or Guitar Hero: World Tour over SingStar anyday.

Your typical rock and roll band usually has a guitarist or two, a singer, and a drummer. But what happens if you decided you wanted to have 4 drummers or 3 singers and 1 guitarist? If you were playing Guitar Hero: World Tour you’d be out of luck.

Luckily, Activision has announced that Guitar Hero 5 will give you the ability to mold a band any way you like allowing for the band set ups described above.

Some other welcome features include the ability to play the entire song list right out of the box (read: no unlocking) and the addition of RockFest which Joystiq describes as “five competitive head to head modes that are playable ‘online or in your living room.’”
