Grab selected Rock Band tracks for only 80 points each

MTV Games and Harmonix have teamed up with McDonald’s to drop the price on select Rock Band tracks in the United States and Canada. Each week until June 1st, you can grab two new tracks for 80 points each.  To help you budget your time and money, here is the schedule of tracks:

5/6/08-5/12/08 :
Crushcrushcrush - Paramore
Rock 'n Roll Band - Boston

5/13/08-5/19/08 :
Shockwave - Black Tide
Sugar Magnolia - Grateful Dead

5/20/08-5/26/08:
We Care A Lot - Faith No More
All the Small Things - Blink 182

5/27/08-6/2/08:
Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Dirty Little Secret - All-American Rejects

The lower price will start tomorrow at 0200 PT. But I wanted to give everyone a heads up as soon as I found out about this promotion.

Edit: Striking new since they are existing tracks.

Edit: An official page is now posted on MTV.com with complete details.

"teamed up with" is one of my favourite PR phrases. Like these companies are superheros joining powers to battle evil and bring happiness to the people.

uhh i bought crushcrushcrush by paramore when it first came out for 80 points and it is still at that price.  how is this a promotional price?  too bad i already bought the rest of these songs at their normal 160 point prices.  oh well i guess i shouldn't complain about something where the prices go down....

I don't know about you, but I thought that at least Dirty Little Secret was already 80 Points? That's what I bought it at.

sadly I own all songs besides "the rejects"   so should i stop buying tracks just in case they drop in prices?  I know GTA is out but why stop with new content?  BTW, where's Whos Next?

That track (along with 4 others) was only at 80 points for about a month. After that time, they all went up to the normal 160MS price.
