I'm in for all three, especially at 80 cents. Excited for Paramore & Serj.

There's an awesome recording about the difference between .08 dollars and .08 cents from Verizon floating around the web. But, yes, 80 MS points = $1.00, and this is exactly the reason that Microsoft did not do a 1:1 points ratio. It makes things look like they cost less and therefore can dupe the less savvy users into spending more.

DLC post is in the process of updating. Expert guitar vids are up for Crushcrushcrush and Beethoven's ****. I don't have my 360 to check, but people are saying that Shockwave is not on the Marketplace as of yet. The holdup may be due to several f-bombs thrown throughout the song.

Looks like this is the reason we got the songs this week. Strance that this event wasn't mentioned in the announcement. I'm still under the train of thought that these were not the intended songs, and tehre were probably a series of meetings trying to determine if they should release these before or after the event.

The Paramore is exactly the kind of thing I wish I could remove from the RB setlist of songs that are on the disc, I sure won't be adding any more of those.
And the last one, I couldn't get thru 30 seconds of. That person(s) should not be trying to sing.

Oh I must have gotten mixed up somehow before, or they were mislabeled earlier. It's the Serj one that sounds godawful, YUCK!!!!
I guess the Shockwave is the decent one. Oh well.
Wow, I'm sure glad I didn't buy the Serj track yet. That is seriously stinky.

But when someone is making sounds like on that Serj track, well I can't listen to that LOL. I hope someone can enjoy it.

I'll probably pick up all 3 when I get home. I'm not a fan of Serj or SOAD, but the song looks fun to play. I also checked out the Black Tide song on YouTube. I like it, and it should be fun to play also.

Wow, just saw a youtube of the expert guitar chart of Shockwave.. that's pretty freakin' tough. If the song has the F word in it several times, I will have to pass though because of young virgin ears in my household that play the game on a regular basis.
