Even w/o DLC, it's a game that lasts.. and lasts... and lasts. for at least 40 days (since thats how long Ive had it and have been playing it non-stop.)

One release with tons of DLC or several different releases with very little DLC.
Interesting.

DLC is definitely more expensive, but more versatile. However, I've found some very cool tracks (like Lay Down) I never would have heard if I was only using DLC.

This game is pretty fun. We went to my neighbor's house last weekend and played on the PS3.
I wanted drums, but was better on guitar. The timing was off for the drums and I could not get used to it.
The worst part was his girlfriend's daughter was trying to sing, but couldn't get through a song. She is about 12 and having fun, but kept failing out. I mean she wasn't terrible, just your average kid singing along to the words.
So what is the important thing for singing, it is timing or pitch, both?
Now i am trying let get my wife to let me have it for 360, but then she will need to learn an instrument.

DLC is obviously a big part of the direction they are going, and it has to be a potentially huge profit center for them. However, regardless of how they would choose to release them, they cannot be doing that well with the current set-up of using the Live browser. With no ability to obtain DLC from within the game interface, they must be missing out on quite a bit of sales.

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to actually purchase any content from within a game with Live. There may be a link to downloadable content, but it'll just open up the blade where the DLC is available.
Also, there was a title update last night. Does anyone know what they added in/fixed? I played a couple songs on drums and guitar and didn't notice anything different, but I didn't go delving through the menus or anything.

Hopefully this isn't too dangerous, but I noticed that the DLC is a downloaded file which you have to install. It seems like it would be easy just to share those files online.
Which leads to this question - that being the case, is there a chance that someone could decompile the DLC and start with custom releases?

Looks like I was wise to change my Strat ebay auction from a 5 day to a 3 day. Prices seem to be bottoming out as more people start to sell. Mine ended a few hours ago and I managed to snag $90 with shipping but most look like they are averaging closer to $60 already.
I even noticed someone who cribbed my whole auction for his own. From the title, to the description to shipping description and price. Dickhead. I dropped him a line saying that wasn't cool. I spend time coming up with a layout and description, at least paraphrase it if you are going to steal it.

Never got one response on this. Was it that dumb of a question or so difficult no one has the proper answer for it?

Looks like the next OXM, which hits newstands on the 15th, is getting some exclusive Rock Band content. Three new songs will be available exclusively on the new OXM disc.
Freezepop - Sprode (I think this is the same some from Amplitude?)
Count Zero - Shake
Bang Camaro - Rock Rebellion
http://www.oxmonline.com/article/fea...ock-band-songs
I have no qualms about picking this up, even if I am paying $10 for three songs, which is almost twice what I would be paying for a normal pack.

I love me some Freezepop and Bang Camaro is quickly becoming my favorite Harmonix band. I'd love to see them live with their 20 singers!!
