Rock Band

[Gabriel]

Meh... I'll get it cuz it's free... but a System of a Down pack isn't something I'm stoked about either. Aerials wouldn't be too bad to have, I guess.

['That Guy']

My damn Rock Band just broke. The whammy on the guitar snapped, and the vocals were showing perfect on the screen, yet it was failing the song. Good thing I bought the best buy warranty where there'll send me a gift card for full purchase price so I can buy a new copy, but it sucks that I'll be Rock Bandless for the next 2 weeks. Awell, I just a got a car, so it's a new toy to play with.

Hey everybody!

This week we have a special present for you in celebration of April Fool's Day. For $0 (0 Microsoft Points) you can download-

"Still Alive" by GlaD0s and Jonathan Coulton (master)

Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. For free. I'll post something up here when it is available on that platform.

It will be available on Xbox360 on April 1st.

So, barring this being an elaborate April Fools then you guys will have some fun trying to emulate that computers singing voice.

Joystiq now says it will be on PSN on Apr 17th.

Can't be worse than SPRODE.

[King Ellis]

So er, apparently it's up there now! It's only April 1st in Europe, how ironic.

[CKN]

Just so PS3 owners know there won't be any rock band dlc until the 17th because of the new PS Store. Because of this no PS Store updates until mid april. Good news PS Store will be software based instead of web based and there will be a special store update then.

Harmonix needs to do something about these quitters when you are trying to actually win these Tug-A-War and Score Duel games. If someone quits, you don't get the credit for the win. It's so frustrating. Here I am beating this guy and it is right near the big rock ending and he just quits because he is losing. Ugh. This is the third time in a row.

A forfeit should count as a win to stop this shit from keep happening. :/

[EddieRuckus]

Bah, Green Grass and High Tides can go suck it. My friends and I are on the endless setlist, and we have 50 songs done. We tried this song for an hour or so, and still can't get past it. We're recruiting a friend of ours who can do hard bass, and then we should be able to beat it. Hopefully...

[Mountainous Cleavage]

The whammy on my guitar snapped aswell, which is balls. Drum sticks snapped too.

:'( What can I do

[zero]

Well I can't fix the whammy bar, but I think a trip to any music shop for some cheap drumsticks will fix the other problem.

Or hands the drums. That's right. Bongos that shit.

Next week for DLC we have the HMX Pack (previously only available via the OXM disc). Each track is $.99 (80 Microsoft Points) or $2.99 (240 Microsoft points) for the whole pack.

"Rock Rebellion" by Bang Camaro (master)

"Shake" by Count Zero (master)

"Super Sprode" by Freezepop (master)

Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. They will appear on Tuesday, April 8th, on Xbox 360.

I'll get Bang Camaro since it is only $0.99 but the others I don't like the sound of them from watching the videos.

[Gabriel]

I was hoping for something better after the April Fool's fiasco... but I guess for $3, maybe I might pick it up.

[King Ellis]

Wait, weren't these free on the cover disc of a magazine once?

[Cactus Drags]

That's awesome, why couldn't they do that with the Guitar Hero companion pack?

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, cool, something to use my tiny fragment of remaining points on. I'll be purchasing the Freezepop song for sure.

[apsham]

So I played for the first time last night, pretty awesome. I never touched the drums cause I didn't want to mess us up, but I stayed on the mic for a long time which was pretty awesome.

[Kyle_]

Wait, weren't these free on the cover disc of a magazine once?

Yeah, that's how I got them. Got the game today, and I have to ask, how do you plug in the damn mic?

[EddieRuckus]

Plug the microphone in to any open USB port on the 360, and turn on a regular 360 controller to navigate/select songs/etc.

[Kyle_]

Well I tried that but when I get to the select rocker screen the mic part still sys connect controller.

[Future-Shock]

You actually need a controller plugged in or turned on for the mic to work.
