    Ahh it's actually been confirmed now. Freezepop are always fun to play so they probably are worth picking up. ABC and Kryptonite both take me back a bit but none of this weeks are essential for me so I might have a break and save my points for when the bigger stuff drops.

    Freezepop for $1 is pretty awesome. The RB:U exclusives sound fun too.

    Freezepop three pack? Awesome! Jonathon Coulton, Audioslave, and Jacskson 5 are great too.
     
    Too bad I'm saving up my money for The Beatles downloads, but I'll have to get these eventually. :D
