Seems likely they'll just throw a 3rd on there from a previous album. I can't name a Disturbed song for the life of me, but I'm sure there's a "popular" one.
Now it is possible there will be 5 songs released, the 2 Disturbed and 3 unannounced, but I just don't see that happening. The only thing it has going for it is the BB code is for 2 Disturbed songs (320 points) and not a 3-song pack (440 points). Of course that may just be a way to get us to pay the full price for the "one song we already know" from Disturbed.
Anyway... 6/3 is my 30th birthday and I had been hoping for a nice present from Harmonix. Guess they don't love me like I love them.

Did they send out that email? i pre-ordered the cd through that link a week or two ago. I got a shipping notice today and have not received any email stating any codes for song downloads. Unless they are in the cd package themselves.

I pre-ordered it the day it went up and never got a code and eventually canceled it when Harmonix said that the DLC would be available for purchase around the same time for everyone. I don't care enough about Disturbed to own the album, but I'll have no second thoughts on picking up their songs as DLC.

This is the response I got from Best Buy this past Sunday when I emailed them about it:
I'm ***** from the Best Buy customer care Team. How are you doing? hope you are having a great day.
I was just checking about the disturbed CD promotion, and as is shown on the webpage, the codes will be sent to you on June 3rd to redeem your bonus tracks for Xbox 360 RockBand.
You can check about this by going to www.disturbed1.com Please wait for the codes, you will receive them for sure.
Any time you have a problem, please contact us back ******.

Looks like they didn't have it set up properly to send the codes out for us early buyers. There is just one code and you have to go to a certain link to input it. I followed the link and it said that you can input the code on 6-3-08 to choose your two songs.

I guess I could re-order it and just return the first one that shows up.
Stupid Best Buy not having their system set up properly.

Got my kit replaced again and finally made it thru Run to the Hills on Expert, what a rush! AN-I-MAL!!!
Too bad I got an EL set again, for the third time. I suppose it's just a matter of time until it breaks again.

I know it's a little late, but I finally got the Cars' drums vids updated into the DLC post. The guy I was getting them from seems to not be getting all the DLC anymore, or is slacking off. I added in another subscription of a guy who seems to be more on the ball, and a better drummer overall.

Bah...just discovered a huge crack in my yellow drum. I submitted my RMA, and since I really don't play them hard enough or often enough to actually break them, I hope not to get any static.
I really hope the rumored "2.0" instruments are going to turn out better.

According to this thread: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52985
the DLC list was accidentally posted early and then quickly removed. This could all be a joke or misunderstanding, so take it with a grain of salt:
"Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett (master - new original recording)
"Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffett (master - new original recording)
"Volcano" by Jimmy Buffett (master - new original recording)
"Indestructible" by Disturbed (master)
"Inside the Fire" by Disturbed (master)
"Perfect Insanity" by Disturbed (master)
80 pts per Disturbed track and 160 pts per Jimmy Buffett track.

Holy shit, Jimmy Buffet. While I'm not a fan, I can see this being a HUGE hit for the party vibe of the game as well as for folks like my dad who just love the shit out of that beach bum.
