MTV Games and Paramount Pictures Take STAR TREK
and Rock Band® “Where No Man Has Gone Before”

First-of-its-Kind Promotion to Rock Fans During Month Lead-Up
to the Film’s Release on May 8, 2009

New York, NY, April 1, 2009– MTV Games and Harmonix’s Rock Band® are joining forces with Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment to celebrate the May 8th theatrical release of the film STAR TREK from director/producer J.J. Abrams. The first-of-its-kind collaboration will fuse together the massive cultural followings of both STAR TREK and the video game phenomenon Rock Band to engage fans with free music, an in-game battle of the bands, and futuristic avatar creation contest.

Beginning today, fans can register for a 15-day sweepstakes that will give away 500 free Rock Band Music Store downloads each day from April 7th through April 21st for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®Store for PlayStation3.

And if that’s not enough– fans will want to fire up Rock Band 2’s online Battle of the Bands mode to participate in the STAR TREK Ultimate Battle. Bands of three to four players can battle the Rock Band galaxy. The band with the highest score will win a STAR TREK hometown movie screening for their band and their friends. Additionally, twenty randomly selected players will win an awesome STAR TREK/Rock Band prize pack equipped with STAR TREK and Rock Band gear. The Battle of the Bands component will begin on April 20th and run through April 27th.

The Rock Band and STAR TREK promotion will culminate when the first-ever avatar creation contest launches on April 27th. Fans will be asked to create a futuristic avatar in-game and export it to RockBand.com for the community and Harmonix team to judge the winner. The Duke of Gravity will ultimately decide which avatar has what it takes to rock with the Enterprise crew. The winner will be chosen on May 11th and win "The Future is Now" prize pack including the top of the line Rock Band game accessories.

You can also directly register on www.rockbandstartrek.com. This is very similar to the previous Stride Gum promotion, so I think the codes would be redeemable for $2.14ish. The terms say that only the first email addressed will be entered per person.

i think it means that you can only enter your email address once, if you enter the same email address multiple times only the first instance will count, so to get multiple entries, you need multiple email addresses.
 
[quote name='GamerKingFaiz']Haha, for some reason I came in here thinking it'd be a April Fool's joke. C'mon Star Trek and Rock Band?!?[/quote]
Same here.

Entered, thanks OP!
 
Bummer, when I saw the title I was hoping maybe they would be giving us some Rock Band version of the theme from the new movie as a free song DLC. There sure are stingy with the free DLC events compared to the number that have been released for Guitar Hero.

:lol:, I thought the same thing!

I scored a couple free songs in the stride contest so I threw my email in the hat for these. Thanks for posting this OP!

GHWT had the limited time 5 free DLC + 2 Springsteen songs. What else did they have?

Rock Band has 4 perpetually free songs in the store along with 20 free with the purchase of RB2.
 
Thanks OP. I get all my RB DLC on 360, but I put in for PS3 since with Stride they just gave credit for the value of the songs. Got PixelJunk Eden with the credit last time...
