In news from the rock rhythm game that does grace our shores, Activision today sent through word the single "Violet Hill" from Coldplay's latest album would be part of the latest downloadable track pack for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

The pack also features Coldplay’s first smash hit "Yellow" that earned them a legion of fans worldwide, as well as the upbeat and melodic tune "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" from the Grammy® Award-winning album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. The Coldplay track pack will be available on June 19, 2008 for download on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and on PLAYSTATION®Store for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

It's looking more and more like games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the new record store and radio station.
