Helghasp  |  June 4th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

Wow awesome!

June 5th = Best PSN update ever!!

LLAMACODE  |  June 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pm

meh
I don’t like Guitar hero

Kamahl  |  June 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pm

@4: then why comment???

KazeEternal  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

Now if we can just get a DDR for PS3 and have Rise of the Pheonix and other tracks from God of War 1&2 and I’ll be happy since I don’t like Guitar Hero and Love god of war this is kind of a kick in the balls.

fullyshadow  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

alright!!! finally an exclusive track! plus the rock version came really well! good job to you guys!

Stoffinator  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:02 pm

Sounds like those two weeks of nothing may pay off tomorrow.

Jeigh  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

“The audio track will also be made available on the PLAYSTATION Store in free, downloadable form as well.”

I’m probably stretching, but does this mean that we’ll be also able to download the song under “Music” to just listen to? ‘Cause if so: Booya!

If not, well, I suppose it’s still pretty cool for those that play Guitar Hero.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 4, 2008 at 5:12 pm

It’s an MP3, I believe, so do with it what you will, Jeigh.

darkiewonder  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

what’s going to be mp3 bitrate? ;o

Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 4, 2008 at 5:18 pm

Oh, man, you’re killing me
I’ll try and find out by the time the store post goes up.

Clinton514  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:18 pm

Wow, that’s pretty cool. Free too.

TheRocker  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

Can you guys work something out for RockBand ?

Mana Knight  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

This makes me want to buy GH3 right now.

erico316  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:28 pm

jeff sorry to bug you but will there be any drm to the track?

darkiewonder  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

@ Jeff.

haha. Thanks! You’re doing a hell of a great job around here!

stefen  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

Jeff, is there any chance of this (or something similar) for Rock Band?

TheRocker  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

I’m sure there are other Playstation theme songs out there perhaps maybe one of them could make its way to RockBand.

stefen  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

Grammar Correction: Jeff, is there any chance of this (or something similar) coming out for Rock Band?

Kratos_ate_Snake  |  June 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pm

Thats awesome.. I too wish it was out for rock band, but at least I can enjoy the MP3… Thanks.

playstationalltheway  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:04 pm

coool!

JamesL007  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

Its funny after the weak ass PSN update last week we get this killer PSN update to rival anything.

God of War 2 song,

Qore,

I can’t wait until the update. New Award will be given tomorrow “Best PSN update: 6/5/2008″ I will look forward to delivering that award tomorrow big time, how did I doubt the PSN updates.

You guys I think did that too last week, made a crappy update so the next weeks one would be stellar and unrivaled to other updates since the new design of the store.

Lp47  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

Any news on the “coming soon” God of War 3?

- Sadly I only own Rockband so I will not be able to try this sweet song out.

VenomX  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:32 pm

Hell yeah. I’m so happy Sony decided to do this. I’m definitely buying this.

LLAMACODE  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:43 pm

@ VenomX 23

it’s free
no buying required

Clover09  |  June 4th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

Anything that involves God of War in it has to be great! Now I, am just anticipating GOW 3!

Markade  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:00 pm

Can we get Um Jammer Lammy in Rockband also?

XD9  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:00 pm

I’ll be honest I own GH3 for 360 and the Halo 3 theme was pretty tight…too bad the GOW track isn’t for Rock Band which I do own for the PS3

Kinglink  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:16 pm

Um it’s a freaking song guys. It’s not a new game or anything. I admit it’s good to get content, but best update ever? That’s insulting to Sony.

Xanog  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

Shame I don’t own the PS3 version of the game (have it for PS2, haven’t touched it since I got Rock Band for PS3)

Regardless, that was still epic.

Tropic  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

Nice, now all I need now is GH3.

leftover_crack  |  June 4th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

couldnt david jaffe have noticed how many people wanted the twsited metal theme in guitar hero over the GoW 2 theme

VenomX  |  June 4th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

Free? That’s awesome!

Captain Fury  |  June 4th, 2008 at 8:11 pm

thx SCEA and RedOctane

andrewr4  |  June 4th, 2008 at 8:35 pm

Great to hear, however (Not really expecting an answer) will it be coming to the EU store too? All too often we are left without free content (or even paid content) for long times.

benzboi92  |  June 4th, 2008 at 8:41 pm

Uhh, guys… you’re asking the producer of Red Octane for this song on Rock Band???

Yeah, good luck getting answers. Remember, this IS exclusive to the PS3 version of Guitar Hero III.

I’ll definitely be downloading this for Guitar Hero.

stennex  |  June 4th, 2008 at 8:55 pm

Now this is the Sony we love. Who says the others companies only have exclusives and we don’t. It’s about time the PS3 takes charge. GH3 will be on my list amongst other titles.

Jeigh  |  June 4th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

Ha! Thank you, Jeff! First a blog from the plenipotentiary Ted Price, the very first look at Novastrike just before it releases (no waiting time there ) and now this.

And I’ve noticed that we’ve been getting quite a few insights with the developers lately. Others may (or rather, “most definitely” ) take this blog for granted but I’m thankful to you and everyone else involved for making this a great site.

Have a good night.

TheSlayerIsBack  |  June 4th, 2008 at 9:53 pm

MAN thats AWESOME!!!! and the best part its FREE!!!!

CONFUSEDgam3r  |  June 4th, 2008 at 10:25 pm

Nice! This sounds way better than the exclusive 360 track. Wish I bought the game on PS3

APaz  |  June 4th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

The song is awesome!

darktorns  |  June 4th, 2008 at 11:31 pm

put it on ROCKBAND PLS. a much better game.

Rogerjak  |  June 5th, 2008 at 12:20 am

An awesome music for an epic game.

Srsly best rock music I have heard in a while!

Viper7  |  June 5th, 2008 at 12:55 am

Hopefully we can see this on eu store soon as well. The track seems to be nice too.

LoTuZ  |  June 5th, 2008 at 1:18 am

thats great…But when the heck are you coming out with more well known songs? I have to give it to rock band for the songs they come out with. Cant you guys offer more songs from GH1 &2? Alice in chains, incubus, the police…so many great songs on the old ones. I would love to see those come back for sure. And full albums wouldnt be a bad idea either.

Crimson_Ryan  |  June 5th, 2008 at 4:42 am

This actually sounds good. And its free! Woo!

Thanks Jeff!

ISEMAN  |  June 5th, 2008 at 5:49 am

The song rocks, nice work!

Now find us some God of War 3 info!!!

TouchyEd  |  June 5th, 2008 at 7:05 am

Is this going to be the same as that poor implemented Aerosmith give-away song you guys had a few months back?

Where no matter how badly you play (or how many notes you miss) the track still plays perfectly in the background, with all the guitar parts still playing without interruption?

Ah, to be honest, I really don’t even care about the answer. Guitar Hero is irrelevant now. The world is switching to Rock Band.

Jeigh  |  June 5th, 2008 at 7:18 am

I’m convinced that there are people who just come here to vote down anything and everything posted. I don’t know who would vote down free stuff other than someone just wanting to taking jabs at PlayStation.

TouchyEd  |  June 5th, 2008 at 8:45 am

Voting down? This blog entry has like a 4.8 rating. You expect every thread to have a perfect 5.0?

We don’t all have to give it 5 out 5 everytime. If someone doesn’t find the news interesting or valid to them, they can vote however they see fit.

And besides, who cares about the rating?

I haven’t voted yet. I was going to give it a nice 4. But I think I’ll vote 1 instead.

There.

Done.

Has that changed your life?

C-h-a-o-s  |  June 5th, 2008 at 8:50 am

Sweet free GOW song and I don’t need to have GHIII or RockBand to play it. Nice freebie. Tomorrows update is actually looking quite nice. I will be absolutely amazed if there’s a PS1 game tomorrow. Infact if there is I might go ape $#!t.
