Sweet. That Fallout Boy song is kick-ass. I loved that song the first time I heard it. They say "goddamn" all the way thru it. Wonder how Rock Band is going to handle that?

Never heard the other two but since I like Blink-182, I am wondering if I will like the Angels & Airwaves song?

They allowed it in the beginning of El Scorcho. I would guess that its in the song. If that's the case then no download for me

I'm always happy when there is DLC released of songs from this century I'll probably get all three to help encourage the RB team to keep it up.

The song is OK but there's much better ones. I do like the "Choke Choke Choke" parts and the song should be fun to play. I almost want to buy it for other people so that there's a slight uptick in how popular the YYY songs are.

Other songs I'd like to see, in order of preference:
"Turn Into"
"Cheated Hearts"
"Y Control"
"Pin"
"Phenomena"
"Gold Lion"

Date with the Night seems like a strange choice. There are so many better Rock Band tracks in their catalog it almost seems like a travesty to pick that one. Nothing for me this week. Which is tough, because I love the YYYs.

I'll be getting This Ain't a Scene... so much better than the horrible FOB song in the game... not getting Angels (give me some +44!) and that YYY song isn't one of my favourites.

Question... is it safe buying the game used without a receipt? I know folks have had problems with the guitar so would I be screwed if I bought it from someone and it failed the week after?

Thanks

I doubt it. I replaced my drums a week ago using the online form. I didn't have to provide any purchase info. Just gave my CC for a temp hold, they shipped the new ones and I shipped mine back in the same box. Never provided a receipt or proof of purchase of any kind. Never even dealt with a person. It was flawless.

I previewed all three tracks and liked the Fallout Boy song and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song. I will be picking up those two on Tuesday.

I really want to do the Endless Setlist (vox & bass), but I think the best I can do right now is Hard/Hard and I only want to have to go through this once. Man it would suck to get most of the way thru and not be able to pass, on Expert/Expert. Anyone tried and had that happen, or do you find a way to get thru it even if you lose all your fans?

Expert/Expert would be pretty tricky. I'd say if you can find someone else that's decent to grab bass, then go for that. Otherwise, I don't think you'd fail the same song more than once or twice before passing and moving onto the next song.

On an unrelated note, I finally took some time to do some more vocal career and overtook you again. You're pretty awesome on the vocals.

20 songs for $30 isn't too bad. Of course you don't get to pick the songs.

I wonder if those are (some of) the best selling songs?

Very reasonable, but I personally can't imagine not having Rock Band on the 360/PS3 and not having access to songs and choice every Tuesday.

What is keeping the Wii from having download content in Rockband?

Lack of storage space, for one.

Really, is that the issue? SD cards are cheap.

Yes.

I seem to remember reading that the lack of support for putting DLC on SD cards has to do with licensing...piracy concerns or something. Unless my mind is completely playing tricks on me, I saw this in an interview, but I can't seem to dig it up.

Why not just include the 20 extra songs on the Wii version and charge an extra $10 or so. Doesn't make sense to have the game and the track pack come out right after the other. Even if they charged $20 more, it would be worth it to not have to deal with swapping games.

I don't get the issues with the Wii and DRM. I mean, one of the first things I tried was copying a game to my SD, off the HD, back to the HD, and it played.

Then I took that SD card to a friend's house and it wouldn't even copy the game.

The restriction is already there, Nintendo, just allow it!

It was slow copying TO the SD card, but fast coming back.
