Rock Band

[Cactus Drags]

I will be picking up JEW and Steve Earle

No Bleed American

[Crybaby Bunting]

I've almost unlocked all the Rock Band 2 songs, Testament is staring me down something crazy but thank god I've unlocked Visions (albeit on the drum tour thing using a guitar >_>)

So far my DLC looks something like this:

All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret

Dead Kennedys Pack 1

Devo - Through Being Cool

Devo - Girl U Want

The Killers - Spaceman

Oasis Track Pack 1

Radiohead - My Iron Lung

Scars on Broadway - They Say

Smashing Pumpkins - Siva

System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.

System of a Down - Toxicity

+ all the free shizzle

I've pre-ordered Track Pack 2 for £17 on play.com, and the tracklist actually reads like a Rock Band game (some classic songs, some cheese pop songs, and some songs you wouldn't normally play but might be awesome)

Have I got any glaring ommisions to my collection?

[King Ellis]

Would it not be cheaper to buy the songs from the marketplace?

[Crybaby Bunting]

I figure that I might be able to trade the disk in once they're ripped, and possibly make £5+ back on it. It's RRP is £25 anyway so I might get more for it.

Speaking of which, are Gamestation accepting any trades for the Rock Band: AC/DC?

EDIT: I hope to god that Space Truckin' being released recently means that Machine Head might be up for download in full, 'Lazy' in itself would convince me to buy a drum kit so I'm not just playing Guitar, Bass or Vocals

lol, no. Current trade price on RB1 is £20.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I was just about to cancel the pre-order when I started to do the maths

I own one of the twenty songs on the disk, so 19 X 160= 3040 points

3040 points = £25.84

so for £8 less I get the same amount of songs

[King Ellis]

Guess you can't argue with the math.

[EddieRuckus]

According to the Rock Band Community Zine, next week's DLC will be Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood album. The price mentioned is $15.99, or 1280 Microsoft Points.

Ugh, fucking retreads.

[Szumi]

I have downloaded Dammit, El Scorcho, and Polly, and none of these songs appear with all the other songs to play. What the shit? I've d/led Buddy Holly and Monkey wrench, and they work fine. Those 3 however, despite charging me 2 bucks and appearing in the music store as saying purchased, don't appear at all. What the fuck?

Try downloading them again. Maybe your downloads never finished or something?

If it says you've purchased them though, you should be able to download them again for free.

[Szumi]

Yeah, I've discovered that they haven't finished downloading. However, they won't download at all now. I have no idea why; I just finished playing a game of FIFA online, so my connection works... it's just not downloading.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I had that problem earlier on with Siva, I'm not sure exactly how I managed it, but I just opened up Active Downloads and hoped that it recognised that it needed to download (from the dashboard, not in game, sometimes the games disable downloads without telling you)

[King Ellis]

Were you trying to download whilst playing FIFA? Games will pause downloads during online play to make sure there isn't any lag or anything.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Plus FIFA has a habit of disabling the Xbox bleeps whilst you're not in match, so while you're on the title screen (where it'd usually say download stopping) it just says nothing so you can see the whole screen.

SUFFACATION, NO BREATHING! DON'T GIVE A..........IF I CARRY ON BREATHING

Actually, isn't quite a bit of that song liable to be cut since it's about suicide and what not?

SUFFACATION, NO BREATHING! DON'T GIVE A..........IF I CARRY ON BREATHING
