DLC Week of 2/28 - Huey Lewis & The News 3 Pack! Keys on all tracks!
Hey gang,
With nearly 20 top-ten singles under their belt, San Francisco-based rock & rollers Huey Lewis and the News’ remarkable career has spanned more than 30 years. The band made their Rock Band debut with “The Power of Love” on the Rock Band 3 disc, and now three more of the group’s hits are headed to the Music Store on February 28th.
“Do You Believe in Love,” from 1982’s Picture This, and the band’s first top ten hit, kicks off the three pack. “The Heart of Rock & Roll” and “I Want a New Drug” – both from their platinum-selling third record, 1983’s Sports – round out this collection of chart-topping hits. All songs will feature support for keyboards, with a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade available for “I Want a New Drug.”
Available on Xbox 360, Wii™ and PlayStation®3 system (February 28th, 2012):
* Huey Lewis and the News – “Do You Believe in Love” O * Huey Lewis and the News – “The Heart of Rock & Roll” O * Huey Lewis and the News – “I Want a New Drug” X O
(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system February 29th)

Price:
$5.49, £2.49 UK, €3.99 EU (440 Microsoft Points, 550 Wii Points™) for “Huey Lewis and the News Pack 01”
$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points™) per song
$0.99 USD (100 Wii Points™/80 Microsoft Points), £0.59 UK, €0.79 EU per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade
** Dates for Rock Band game tracks are tentative and subject to change. **
Here are the Rock Band Network songs that hit on Thursday, 2/23/2012:
THE BUZZ: EA has revealed it’s preparing to make a big announcement on March 6, at the Game Developers Conference. The annoucement, regarding the future of one of its big franchises, will shake the very core of the gaming industry. Either that or there’s a new DLC pack coming, right now it’s anyone’s guess. What we do know is that massively popular Mass Effect 3 is coming out on that day, and we’re willing to bet that’s no coincidence.
EGM’s TAKE: Will the Mass Effect franchise go in a new direction? We’d wouldn’t balk at the idea of having the series turn into a turn based strategy game, ala Halo Wars. Although, it may have nothing to do with Mass Effect 3 whatsoever. We’ve heard rumblings of an announcement regarding the return of NBA Live 13, or it could be about the upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter as well. To be frank, what we really want to see is an announcement that Madden is making a magnificent return to the fabled franchise as a playable character.
