Brother/sister (no, not really) duo The White Stripes will be making their Rock Band debut next week via a track pack featuring three of their songs. For the handheld rhythm gamers, No Doubt and Dropkick Murphys are also on the way to Rock Band Unplugged's in-game music store.

It may not be their very own Rock Band title, but Queen will still make its presence felt for Rock Band. MTV Games and Harmonix today announced the Queen track pack for the game, adding ten more tracks from the iconic music group.

The Gorillaz will be headlining next week's Rock Band update with three songs being made available as DLC for the game's PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is also getting its own update in the form of eleven tracks taken from the Rock Band back catalog, while Rock Band Unplugged will play host to a pair of new Iron Maiden songs.

Five new tracks are set for download in Rock Band Unplugged's in-game music store. Once again, these tracks span disparate genres -- from country to alternative rock to Texas blues. Hit the jump for the list.

Get ready for some thumb thumping action as Harmonix, MTV Games and EA has just announced that Rock Band: Unplugged for the PSP will be released in the UK next month. It's not the same release date as the one they announced last time, though.

So Rock Band Unplugged got leaked. Now I know some people have already gotten their copies and played through the game, but for those who managed to hold out for the official release, here's a gameplay video featuring System of a Down's "Chop Suey".

Rock Band Unplugged is all set and rarin' to go (is in fact leaked already) as the full track list and DLC are revealed. There are a wide range of music to choose from, spanning five rockin' and rollin' decades, with the first batch of ten DCL tracks coming your way via the in-game music store once the game hits you on June 9, 2009.

Another bit of sad news for the PSP scene today as reports are coming in that the much awaited music game Rock Band Unplugged has already been leaked in the internet, less than a month ahead of its scheduled release date.

If Retribution and Resistance 2 had some form of "Infected mode", could Rock Band have something similar? An ability to share songs between platforms or unlock special content, perhaps? In case some of you guys were hoping for this, Harmonix and MTV Games wants you to know that Rock Band: Unplugged for the PSP will definitely be unplugged. Unplugged from the PS3 version, that is.

Just a few weeks more and Rock Band: Unplugged finally gets plugged into retail. The previous gameplay trailer left more room for wanting so maybe here's something to make up for it - new footage with songs which have slightly more "rock" to them. The twist in this Rock Band spin-off comes in when you have to switch from instrument to instrument. Looks like it needs quite a bit of getting used to, but what the hey - guess that's supposed to make up for the limited single-player only campaign.
