Ahh! It’s Friday, which means… Rock Band DLC update details! Yay! Okay, admittedly, this one nearly slipped by us — I had to pull myself out of a Christmas turkey stupor to bring you this info, and knowing you guys, my guess is you’re not going to be thrilled about it.

Next week, there’s a whole country pack coming to Rock Band. It’s called the “Going Country Pack 02,” it features 7 songs, and it’ll cost you $10.99/880 MS Points for the whole pack, or $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per song. Here’s what you can get:

• Alan Jackson – “Good Time”
• Cross Canadian Ragweed – “Cry Lonely”
• Jason Aldean – “She’s Country”
• Keith Urban – “I Told You So”
• Kenny Rogers – “The Gambler”
• Martina McBride – “This One’s For the Girls”
• Shania Twain – “Any Man of Mine”

Not into country? How about Paul McCartney? On January 5, a live pack of songs will hit, all tracks from his latest record Good Evening New York City. The pack will run you $5.49/440 MS Points, or you can get these three songs individually for $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points a piece:

• “Band on the Run (Live)”
• “Jet (Live)”
• “Sing the Changes (Live)”

And there you have it. Now I’ll go back to lying in bed and playing videogames… holiday break, ya’know? See you Monday!

Just clicked on the Wii Shop channel to see if there were any Christmas surprises, and wadda-ya-know, Sega’s putting some of their Genesis games on sale. Sonic 1, 2, and 3, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 2, Puyo Puyo 2, and even the Citizen Kane of videogames itself are available for just $5 each from now until January 6th, 2010. That’s a whole $3 cheaper than usual. Why is Sega putting on this unprecedented sale? My guess is that they’re trying to grab the attention of the thousands of people who just got a Wii for Christmas and are sifting through the 500 games available on the service for the first time.

I just hope that this doesn’t cause Toe Jam and Earl to make Sega any more money. That game is an affront to all that’s holy, and must be stopped at all costs.

You can check the official Sega website for more details if you’re really that bored.
