As made famous earlier this month, EA has slung up yet more downloadable content for Rock Band.

This week's offerings are from David Bowie, and come in the form of the David Bowie Pack 01 on Xbox Live Marketplace, which costs 440 Microsoft Points (GBP 3.74 / EUR 5.12).

It should also appear on the PlayStation 3 Store, although we can't check whether it's up at the moment because of cloud cover/ducks. New content typically arrives on PSN on Thursdays.

So what's in the pack? Well, 400 Points gets you the proper version of Moonage Daydream, along with covers (aw) of Heroes and Queen Bitch, or "Queen ***" as Microsoft's calling it. If you prefer to buy them individually, they're 160 MS Points (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.86) apiece.

Thanks to the magic of pre-announcements, we can also safely predict that next week's content will be Black Sabbath tracks, followed by some punk a week later and some others (ooh, Iron Lung) as we edge further towards Christmas.

Rock Band is out now in the US on PS3 and 360 and will be released in Europe in Q1 2008.
