I once watched the beginning of a tv movie called Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story (Music made them legends. Tragedy made them heroes!") that detailed the trials and triumphs of Sheffield's finest Rawk quintet.

It was rubbish.

But don't let that put you off - The recently announced Def Leppard DLC for Guitar Hero III is probably going to be much better.

The band are to make history by becoming the first act to release a single through a video game.in advance of any other format.

Their new single, Nine Lives, is up for grabs now on Xbox Live alongside classic tracks Rock of Ages and Photograph.

All this joy for just 500 MS points, exclusive to XBLA until May the 8th.
