Oasis will be the latest band to bring their newest album to band games, as their 7th studio album 'Dig Out Your Soul' will be coming to Guitar Hero World Tour in 2009. In addition, an Oasis Track Pack consisting of Bag it Up," "Waiting for the Rapture" and the hit first single "The Shock of the Lightning will be hitting GHWT as DLC on November 6th. The three songs will be sold as a whole pack or individually for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. It is odd that they would release three of the songs well before the entire album, as they will be making them available again when the album drops in 2009. Although Activision will sell the album songs individually, you can et there will be no price breaks for anyone that wasn't the entire album but has already bought the first three tracks.
