It looks like some extra goodies are being included with the South Park Season 11 DVD set. Not only do you get great episodes such as "Cartman Sucks", "More Crap" and the immortal "Imaginationland" story arc (I pray the season DVD includes the full commentary of the "Imaginationland" one), but the DVD also includes a 3-song download for the XBox version of the video game Rock Band.
This marketing move makes sense on a couple of levels. First, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are big gamers so they probably got some cool stuff that other gamers only wish they had access to. They even confess their hobby on one of their DVD mini-commentaries. Second, the season includes the episode "Guitar Queer-o", which uses the predecessor game Guitar Hero as central to the plot.
Comedy Central has done video-game cross promotion with South Park before. After all, the Season 10 episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" centered around the World of Warcraft online mutli-player game and the DVD set included a 14-day free trial for that. I'm sure this new cross-promotion will be good for both brands.

Amazing!!! Second half of the season was kinda disappointing though.

How about "America, F**k Yeah!" for Rock Band?

Just so you know, it doesn't say which console it will be for. It could be PS3, Xbox 360, or both. It better not only be for the Xbox 360.

I'm guessing the South Park theme, possibly.

It does not say it is for the Xbox. Can you not read?
And I quote, "Details on the included downloadable content are unknown, including what songs are included and which consoles the DLC is for."
