Target’s circular for the week of December 13 includes some near-Black Friday discounts on brand new items. With a promotional price of $24.99, Target has the best deal yet on the just-released The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (along with other recent DS releases like Style Savvy and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days).
While you’re buying a $25 game, you can also impulse-buy a Wii, which includes a bonus $30 gift card, or a DSi with a $10 gift card. Or a copy of Tony Hawk: Ride for $88 (not the only time we’ll see discounts on this one, we’re guessing).
Savings on Wii, Spirit Tracks, music games at Target next week originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:15:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

For the sake of clarity and brevity in this week’s Rock Band Weekly, let’s split this info up:
- The Beatles: Rock Band will have the album Rubber Soul available next week. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road were previously released on November 17 and October 20, respectively.
- The standard Rock Band music store receives new tracks from All-American Rejects, 30 Seconds to Mars and even more Green Day.
As a reminder, Rock Band Unplugged DLC is going on holiday for an unspecified amount of time. Check out pricing and track details after the break.
Update: MTV Games/Harmonix has corrected the pricing for Rubber Soul.

A live version of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” is available next week within the band’s Rock Band DLC six-pack. The song may not be everyone’s cup of formaldehyde, but it’s certainly memorable for conjuring up one of the creepiest music videos of all time. We have no idea what the song is actually about, but it will always be the story of Tom Petty stealing Kim Basinger’s corpse from the morgue, dressing her up, and then at the end …. AHHhhHhHHHH!
Check out the full update after the break, no new Rock Band Unplugged DLC next week.
Update: PSN will updated on Tuesday.

Forget that Jack White finds it “depressing” that kids are learning about music through rhythm games — there’s gold in them thar virtual hills! Next week’s Rock Band DLC adds a pack of songs from The White Stripes, with tracks off of three different albums.
We’ve also added this little guy to Rock Band Weekly:
. He indicates tracks that are considered “family-friendly” enough for Lego Rock Band. Such marked songs will be available in LRB’s music store, as well as appearing in the regular Rock Band music store. [Thanks to our friend Dustin Burg for the Lego head!]
Check out the update after the break, along with what Rock Band Unplugged players can expect for DLC next week.

Next week’s Rock Band DLC could have been a little Dave Grohl fiesta, offering up tracks from his days back in Nirvana and now with Foo Fighters, but it turns out that he wasn’t with the genre defining grunge band until after Bleach, which happens to be part of next week’s DLC. But, we’re pretty sure Grohl was with Foo Fighters during the time they recorded the tracks that make up the band’s third DLC pack for the music game.
Completely unrelated to Grohl (maybe there’s a six degrees of separation in there?), there will also be one track from Ms. Joan Jett thrown in the mix. Check out the update after the break, along with what portable players can expect from Rock Band Unplugged’s DLC.

Harmonix and MTV are billing next week’s Rock Band DLC update as a spooky, Halloween-themed selection, mostly due to the inclusion of some Rob Zombie classics and a new Wolfmother set (zombies and wolves are scary, right?). Right? But the really scary part, for us, is the addition of two tracks from Morningwood — now you’ll be able to play the Daisy of Love theme song. Creeeeeepy.
Also, we have to raise a very important issue: How can you have a Halloween music store update with no “Monster Mash?” How is “Monster Mash” not in the Rock Band Store right now? And whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

Corporate synergy is well at work when the Brütal Legend pack rolls its way into next week’s Rock Band DLC update. The track grouping includes Mötorhead, Tenacious D and Testament. To wash all that metal down, there are also individual songs from Kansas and Blink 182. For those upset by all of this: you can pull a “Jeremy” in front of the class*, which joins Unplugged next week.
*Yeah, don’t do that.
Check out the full Rock Band Weekly update, along with the update for Rock Band Unplugged, after the break.

Rock Band Weekly wants to take you to a gay bar.
A gay bar, gay bar! Yes, Electric Six’s “Gay Bar,” which inspired a rather popular piece of
World of Warcraft machinima (found after the break), makes its way onto the update.
Also featured: a three-pack of Raconteurs tracks, along with the most ironic song ever: Alanis Morissette’s … “Ironic.” Isn’t it ironic that the track doesn’t actually feature a single example of irony? Perhaps Morissette meant this to be some sort of “meta” irony (although some may disagree).

Alice in Chains and Breaking Benjamin (pictured doing their best
Twilight pose) contribute several new tracks to the
Rock Band Music Store next week. We …
sorry, we’re just getting lost in those eyes and pale skin. It’s mesmerizing.
There are also some additions from English psychedelic band, Kula Shaker, and a value-priced track called “U Suck” by Just Kait — which, knowing how the comments for RBW tend to lean, could very well be how many of you feel about the artist.

The Emmys is, like, an awards show for television or something — whatever, doesn’t matter. What does matter is that Flight of the Conchords was nominated for an award, so FOTC creators and stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were on hand at the show. During a red carpet interview, Bret confirmed to TV Guide that the group’s musical musings are headed to Rock Band (watch the video interview past the break). Previously, the band’s label, Sub Pop, announced plans to convert its “entire catalog” into playable tracks.
Bret claimed that a total of three songs would be added to the Rock Band Music Store, though neither he nor Jemaine would elaborate on which songs would be released. Hey guys, make it happen:
Which FOTC tunes are you praying to play?
