Looks like Europening those Xmas presents early this year!

***HMX EDIT 12/20***

Here's an interesting development! It appears that there were 2 additional songs scheduled to hit the store tomorrow but they didn't initially make it onto our press release. So I've added the 2 tracks to the Announcement and to the quote above, and they should both come out tomorrow! It's an unexpected holiday miracle!

Happy Xmas! Awesome!

[Tomstar42]

JERK IT OUT! YES! The rest is a bit crap, but this more than makes up for it!

[master2uall]

just meh to me, which is cool, i can keep my money next week, have a great christmas guys.

could use a good patch though.

Jerk It Out!

Wasn't expecting that though.

Will definitely be getting Happy X-Mas (War is Over), and if us PS3 users finally get "Can't Get Enough" I'll pick that up as well. (I believe that when the song didn't come out two or three weeks ago like it should have, HMXHenry said that we'd get it on the 21st). So I'll be getting those. Good to see a week pop-up with really just about nothing worthy of me downloading. After these past few months, I'm spent!

Also, with next week pretty much guaranteed as just the HMX artists, that means two weeks without having to blow money.

But I seriously can't wait for Happy X-Mas. Awesome song.

Edit: Read HMXHenry's post in the prediction thread and see that the Free Pack is NOT coming out next week. So HMX may just be grabbing my money! He also indicated that he's hoping to get confirmation on "Can't Get Enough".

Terrible.

WOW! How completely underwhelming.. Were we bad this year? This is definitely coal in ones stocking..

[Ultrace]

I was actually thinking that with the whole Christmas concept, we might see the 9 RB2 Harmonix free tracks this week. I don't know any of these (including the Lennon song) so I'll reserve judgement until later, but foreign language tracks aren't exactly a favorite. That said, we still need to catch up on Queen and Billy Joel, so it's all good.

I'm in for Happy Xmas! Would have made sense to release it a little earlier in the month, but what do I know, that's why I don't work in the games industry.
