Starting today can gamers pick up the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. I know what you're thinking..."Awesome! I love AC/DC and they rock! Now I actually have an excuse to wear that school boy outfit I bought 2 months ago." True, true but this isn't as cool as it sounds. First of all, the 18 live song disc is going to set you back 40 clams. 40 clams!. Even worse, you have to go to Wal-Mart to pick it up. That's the ONLY place you can get it. You can't download it, you can't go to the more convenient Best Buy or the much cleaner Target, its The Mart or nothing (okay, you CAN get it at Sam's Club but its all the same evil corporation). I'm curious to see how well this sells. Read the press release for all the details.

On a brighter note, the three 2000 Wii Point card winners are listed below. Congrats! Log in to GamePro.com tomorrow and look for a PM with your code. The final week of GamePro Arcade's Autumn of Arcade starts later this evening. Look for a post on it in a few hours.

Wii Point card winners: GEMPadre036, Joey_V5, ShortHairedOffender
