I'd give you some higher scores to chase if they'd ever fully update all of my scores . They seem to have gotten about 70% of them in, though some of those even are wrong. Quite a few songs have my most recent score instead of my highest, it's pretty annoying, though not quite annoying as you beating my Cherub Rock score by 1k . I guess I'll have to gold star that one today .

Argh! I went through and played a few songs last night that I wasn't #1 on, and now I see that none of them updated. This system sucks!

Your Raining Blood score is pretty damn good. I passed it again last night but could only do 154k. At least I don't have to worry about failing anymore.

Thanks - I think the key to that whole song is MOSH 2, where you absolutely have to nail all 4 trills to keep 4X going for the 3-note chords, and star power through after the second set of star notes. I pulled off 3 out of 4 and star powered through the second half of MOSH 2 to get 222k.

What's crazy is that 222K lands me around 700 on the 360 leaderboards, so even fewer than that have been able to 5* it.

As slow as that website is, it's pretty cool we can compare scores cross-platform like that.

I can pick up the first three Star Powers pretty easy, but then I'm lucky to get another two before the song ends. Not sure why. I guess I've only played past Mosh 1 twice so maybe with a bit more practice I'll get it down. I'm actually surprised so many people have scored so high on that song.

And yes comparing cross platform is awesome. I don't feel as bad that I don't have a 360 now

Are there any unlockable songs? Besides the store?

I know you get dragon force if you beat the devil. Anything else? How do I get the Beastie Boys song?

You have to beat the co-op career to unlock Beastie Boys, as well as a few others.

If you want to try "Sabotage", "Suck My Kiss", or any of the other co-op songs, you can go online and play them co-op whether you've unlocked them or not.

Every time I try to connect to edstein (or he to me, I think), a "Failed to connect" error comes up. I can connect to others, but not him. Any idea why?

The "unlock all songs" code will also unlock the songs for single-player quick play.

One thing I discovered was that the code does NOT unlock the songs for offline co-op career. I don't know how it works with the 360's patched offline co-op quickplay, but I can confirm that the code doesn't work with the PS2's offline co-op mode.

So, in order to play any songs in co-op offline you have to go through the co-op career in order to unlock them.

I'll add you and Joe Molotov tonight.

I played a ton of matches online (ranked and unranked) last night and I thought it was really good. I didn't have to wait long at all and never experienced any lag or people leaving early.

Right, but you can play with friends that have them or buy another bundle (yes I realize that is retarded).

The guitarhero.com website appears to be updating scores now. I played one song this morning and my career score jumped 3 million afterwards. It doesn't have any of the individual song scores that didn't get updated before, but at least the %age complete and total score are now tracking again.

FYI, the 360 doesn't offer co-op career mode over live, either. Just individual co-op songs. You still have to have someone come over to do co-op career.
