I haven't had a problem connecting with anyone, odd.
I hadn't played in over a month and I somehow got better. I FC'd a few songs on my side of coop without really thinking about it. Raised a few scores on some. I should probably get back into it.

Anyone else have that happen, or am I the only one playing on PS3?

I was prompted for the update today as well. I'm not sure what it did.

I wonder what the chances of them enabling Co-Op Career are. Kinda silly that wasn't in the game to begin with.
I always forget about the extra co-op songs because I'm always in my career setlist.

Is it available now? Or Tuesday?

Sad that they couldn't even spell Mastodon's name correctly. I'd definitely buy it if it was for Rock Band, but unless Activision drops the prices I won't bother. That song would be a blast on the drums.

- Blocked the Harmonix patch that would have allowed our guitar to be used in Rock Band, now bend over and enjoy! Happy holidays from all us asshats here at Activision!
Funny how I asked about new DLC for this game and a few days later we finally get some new info about it....too bad I now won't be buying it since they see fit to punish PS3 owners...

I'll probably pick that pack up. Too bad they aren't taking advantage of Dream Theater month or offering TSO.

I wormed my way into the top 10 in the DVDtalk group. #9 with 2,147 groupies. It kinda helps that everyone has moved on.

Okay, a question for you Hard & Expert players out there.
I just finished the guitar career on both Easy and Medium for GHII & III and am currently finishing the Medium tour on Rock Band on guitar.
Should I go ahead and move to Hard or should I first try to 5 star all the songs on Medium first on these games. I know you get achievements for 5 starring everything on a certain difficulty but I was more worried that if I put the time into that, my fingers may take longer to get used to moving up and down the frets for the hard difficulty. If you get good at Hard, does that make Medium easy a pie? Or would it help my skill level to spend that time 5 starring those before moving onto Hard?
Thanks!

Have they announced when the Linkin Park, Mastodon and the Used pack will be up? Same with We Three Kings. It would be kind of silly to release a Christmas song after Christmas.

I never 5 starred the medium modes on any of them and moved on to Hard/Expert with little problem.
That said, I would start with Hard on Rock Band, it is the easiest of the 3 and the only one to have a more or less "logical" jump from Medium to Hard (it adds an extra button but doesn't go funhouse mirror in every other way).

I'm terrible at searching previous posts. Does anyone mind summing up the compatibility of the XB360 wireless guitar in GH3?
1. Does the wireless guitar work in GH2?
2. Vice versa... the wired GH2 guitar work in GH3?
3. What about Rock Band for XB360? Rockband's guitar work in GH2/GH3? GH2/GH3's guitar work in RB?
Thank you!
