Yep, it's them...again.

After issuing what may very well be one of the most useless (or at least poorly targeted) press releases in recent memory, Harmonix and MTV games today got around announcing specifics the upcoming Rock Band 2 downloadable content celebrating the re-release of Pearl Jam's seminal Ten album. Among those pesky details absent from yesterday's news, which read more like a friendly reminder to TV Guide, we now know what tracks will be appearing, on what platforms and how much they will cost. When they arrive on March 24th and 26th on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (respectively), interested players can download these eleven Ten songs: “Once,” “Even Flow,” “Why Go,” “Black,” “Jeremy,” “Oceans,” “Porch,” “Garden,” “Deep,” “Release” and “Master/Slave,” an originally hidden track. If you want to pick and choose your tracks, you can nab them for 160 Microsoft Points (or $1.99 USD) each, while hardcore Pearl Jam fans pick up the whole set for 1440 Microsoft Points ($17.99). For more information on Rock Band 2 and next week's Pearl Jam DLC, be sure to check out the official press release below:
