OK, if you’re a fan of Rock Band (and why would you be here if you weren’t), you are probably aware of next week’s impending release of Rock Band Blitz, available for the PS3 on Tuesday, August 28th, and the Xbox 360 on Wednesday, August 29th. In celebration of the latest Rock Band title’s launch, Harmonix graced us with TWENTY Xbox 360 codes for copies of the new game. Instead of hoarding them all and gloating, we decided that they would best be served in the hands of our faithful readers!

Here’s where you come in, and how you can get your grubby little hands on the codes. One of the big features of Rock Band Blitz is its social connectivity, and how you can challenge your friends via Rock Band World on Facebook. As far as I know, every Rock Band song (official and RBN) can be chosen to challenge your friends/enemies/frenemies. In addition to bragging rights, the winner of each challenge will also receive some in-game coins and cred for further rocking.

So… when you finally play Rock Band Blitz, what will be the first Score Wars song you choose? Much like previous giveaways, answer the question in the comments below. Make sure to enter your email address so we know where to send the code. One entry per household please. Xbox 360 only. We’ll let this content run through Sunday morning at 10:00 am (Central), and soon after we will randomly choose and contact winners, so you have some time this weekend to get a head start on honing your Blitzing skills before most of your friends!

Good luck! HUGE thanks to Harmonix for letting us give away codes!

This week saw the release of a three pack from Shinedown. And much like the Three Days Grace DLC giveaway, despite it not being Friday TODAY, we will send out DLC codes tomorrow (Friday) so the winners can play the DLC this weekend. But… unlike many of the previous giveaways, we are giving away TEN Xbox 360 codes AND TEN PS3 codes! That’s twenty codes total! (I did not use a calculator for that.) In case you missed the singles that were included in this week’s Shinedown pack, here they are:

• Bully
• The Crow and the Butterfly
• Second Chance *

* Indicates Pro-Guitar/Bass chart availability for an additional $.99.

If this is something that you want to try and win, here’s what you gotta do. Despite having found commercial success, modern rock bands that have appeared recently as DLC like Shinedown, Three Days Grace, and Nickelback are easy targets on the internet. To enter, and this is not going to be easy, but post a positive comment about Nickelback. Also, because this is a giveaway for two consoles, make sure to include what console you are entering for (if you don’t include it, I can’t select you for a winner)!

Standard rules apply: one entry per household only, Xbox 360 and PS3 only, codes are redeemable worldwide (as far as I know). Please include a valid email address in the appropriate field (not the comment itself, or include Twitter account if you don’t want to take off your tin foil hat) with each entry so we can contact the winners.

We’ll let this run through tomorrow so everyone has a chance to enter and randomly choose and contact winners sometime mid-afternoon on Friday.

Good luck! And HUGE thanks to Harmonix for providing us with codes to giveaway!

Surprise! OK, so we know it’s not Friday (I guess technically it IS Friday in some parts of the world), but we thought that we would giveaway these codes actually ON Friday, so people can play the new DLC this weekend. And because we missed last week (sorry, we were busy), we’ve decided to give away FOUR Xbox 360 packs, courtesy of Harmonix. As I’m sure you’re aware, the songs in the pack are:

• Three Days Grace – The Good Life
• Three Days Grace – I Hate Everything About You
• Three Days Grace – Pain *

* Indicates Pro-Guitar/Bass chart availability for an additional $.99.

If this is something that you want to try and win, here’s what you gotta do. Despite being one of the top requested artists on the Rock Band Facebook app, Three Days Grace is clearly a polarizing music act among members of the Rock Band community. To enter, post a comment below that includes the musician or band that you think BEST personifies the modern day rock music genre. Standard rules apply: one entry per household only, Xbox 360 only, codes are redeemable worldwide (as far as I know). Please include a valid email address in the appropriate field (not the comment itself) with each entry so we can contact the winners.

We’ll let this run through late afternoon tomorrow, and randomly chose and notify four winners.

Good luck! And thanks again to Harmonix for providing us with codes to giveaway!

UPDATE: Congratulations to Ex, NineteenEighty-Nine, MagicMurderBag7, and Sergio Lara for winning codes!

• Dream Theater – On the Backs of Angels *
• Opeth – Ghost of Perdition

Good luck! And thanks to Harmonix for providing us with codes to giveaway!

If this is something that you want to try and win, here’s what you gotta do.
