Rock Band: 'Still Alive' DLC tomorrow ... for FREE!
We have super, fantastic, amazing, glorious, superb and geeky Rock Band news for you today. Hmxsean just announced tomorrow's Rock Band downloadable content (seeing that it wasn't announced last Friday) and folks, it's finally here. Revealed back during GDC, Portal's hit song "Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton will be available for download tomorrow off the XBLM for (get this) 0 Microsoft points. Yes sir, they're offering the "Still Alive" Rock Band DLC for FREE! And even though it's April Fool's day tomorrow, we don't expect this announcement to be a fool. Because, if it were, Harmonix employees would have to fear for their lives. We just have to say it again, but this time in caps ... "STILL ALIVE" WILL BE A FREE ROCK BAND DOWNLOAD TOMORROW! W00T!
Also, just to fuel the fanboy fires, the rockers over on the Playstation 3 will have to wait a few weeks to get their "Still Alive" DLC fix. Mwahahaha, enjoy!
[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

Although I wasn't insane about this DLC, making it free makes me pretty excited about it. Big Ups for RB.
ChromaTick @ Mar 31st 2008 1:13PM
Awesome! I was hoping this would be a 99 cent track. This is even better.
Neuromancer @ Mar 31st 2008 1:17PM
Amazing, that Valve, Harmonix, EA and Microsoft all came together to make this happen.
DeadPlasmaCell @ Mar 31st 2008 1:22PM
Only one song? Suckage.. oh well can't beat free.
Callandor @ Mar 31st 2008 1:29PM

I smell April Fools trickery!!
SugarDaddy @ Mar 31st 2008 1:45PM
I must be missing something... This song is quite possibly the most annoying song ever.
Ray @ Mar 31st 2008 1:52PM
omg i hate this song.....get some real music like megadeth, dream theater, children of bodom, motley crue, bullet for my valentine
Jonah Falcon @ Mar 31st 2008 1:55PM
Enjoy some free cake.
Jonah Falcon @ Mar 31st 2008 1:56PM
"I must be missing something..."
A sense of humor.
itsburnsie @ Mar 31st 2008 1:58PM
Dear Harmonix,
I like you, do you like me?
check (Y)es or (N)o
darley @ Mar 31st 2008 2:06PM
Why is Jonathon Coulton cool? Is this the 2nd song from him they have done? Please explain why I should appreciate it. I am new to his music.
Neuromancer @ Apr 2nd 2008 10:14AM
This is the song that plays during the credits of Portal, it's funny but probably only if you've played the game.
lysernix @ Mar 31st 2008 2:15PM
(spoken like Marcus):
SWEET!
NICE!
Weyoun42 @ Mar 31st 2008 2:33PM
Hang on, since I'm only a lowly "silver" member, does this mean I have to wait a week to get this track? If so: weak.
NeoJedi Knight @ Mar 31st 2008 2:36PM
You can't beat free!
RomeoDude @ Mar 31st 2008 2:48PM
HAHAHA YAYYYYY I knew there was something good behind the delayed announcement of this week's DLC!
Starsmore @ Mar 31st 2008 3:01PM
When do these things go live again?
BigE @ Mar 31st 2008 3:08PM
this is a horrible song.
PlayaCDubb @ Mar 31st 2008 3:14PM
Me and my friends were just talking bout this song last night. Cant wait to download it tomorrow
Digital Limit @ Mar 31st 2008 3:37PM
Wow, laff @ the people calling this song trash.
Get some context.
Maynard101 @ Mar 31st 2008 4:16PM
Still no TOOL... How disappointing..
Loban @ Mar 31st 2008 5:01PM
Most likely those who don't like this song either
A) Have never played Portal in it's entirety.
or
B) Have absolutely no sense of humor.
Lewis @ Mar 31st 2008 6:12PM
Im sureittl be free but have a price on it for tomorrow only. It'll say 1600 MS points
Magic Whiskey @ Mar 31st 2008 6:14PM
w00t w00t...can't wait!
Brave @ Mar 31st 2008 6:28PM
About bloody Time.
Starsmore @ Mar 31st 2008 6:44PM
People reported this on the Rock Band forums, and I just checked it out for myself, but it's available for download right now.
Jonah Falcon @ Mar 31st 2008 7:22PM
hehehe. GlaDOS is listed as the singer, not Ellen McLain.
Ian Murray @ Mar 31st 2008 7:30PM
This has got to be April-Foolery.
I'll be wary.
GANNONSMASH @ Mar 31st 2008 7:56PM
It's out right now! I just finished playing it. :P
Nathan @ Apr 1st 2008 1:29AM
Yes! So much fun to sing!
BrenGunR @ Apr 1st 2008 6:42AM
If you haven't played Portal, then you're not going to understand what the fuss is all about. "Still Alive" as sung by GLaDOS, IMO, is one of the coolest songs to ever come from a video game (and probably the most sinister considering what it means for a sequel). I can't wait!
Steve @ Apr 1st 2008 5:21PM
Am I the only one who is disappointed that the supposed March 25th dlc hasn't come out? If anyone remembers the march listing it said there would be.
Iron Maiden - Wrathchild
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
Metallica - Fuel
I've been waiting for a month for these to come out and now this is no word on any of it???????
