Rent.

It's a Wal-mart exclusive, at least the AC/DC, do you think many places will have it for rent?

It'll be a Wal-Mart exclusive from 12:01am until whenever-Gamestop-opens.

Weinstein movies are Blockbuster exclusives, yet I still get them through my Netflix account. All it means is that rental places will have to buy copies from Wal Mart instead of through their usual distributors.

I'm an expert vocalist and did a bunch of vox in GHWT. If you have specific questions, ask them in the GHWT thread.

Wii RB2 details...

And now onto downloadable content. It may be a tricky one, but EA is out to deliver the biggest offering on Wii thus far, as every song available from 360/PS3 will be included for Wii release, and the game will feature the same store system as well, letting you preview video of the track, look at album art, and download directly from in game. In addition, Rock Band 2 is going to update - for Wii users only - all previous downloadable content from Rock Band 1 and put it in the Wii store as well, so for those out there that wanted the game's first DLC tracks but could never get them, Rock Band 2 can facilitate.
Nice!


Titles from the Rock Band 1 disc, and the Rock Band Track Pack won't be available, and there's no way to rip the songs from that game onto Rock Band 2, so unless EA offers those songs online as well - something it doesn't plan to do - your original Rock Band 1 songs are going to stay on the original game only.
Not so nice.


Songs will be pulled from your internal memory on Wii, and additional songs can be purchased in the Rock Band store and saved to your SD card if more space is needed, but you'll need to have any songs you want to play during that play session on your internal Wii memory. So on one hand you've got an extremely ambitious DLC offering from EA - a huge win for Wii fans - and on the other you've got Wii's technical limitations (at least for the time being), which ensure that you'll be cleaning your fridge out constantly if you want to keep updating your list of available DLC.
Oh well. Nintendo hurry up with whatever you plan on doing. Give us that Super Deluxe Happy Fun Joy Memory!

Not too many DVDTalk Rocks members on tonight, so I taped myself doing a FC of Visions.

Spoiler:
Yeah right! I'm just happy to 5 Star the thing.



REL77 10-15-08 07:45 AM

Rabbit, I have said it before, but I really do hate you... Your just to freaking good.. I wish I could pass this on hard, but i just cant for some reason, and I hate the song so much I just cant force myself to practice it..... Stupid stupid song.

Oh, I dont really hate Rabbit, i am just jealous.

Michael Corvin 10-15-08 07:52 AM

I see constant whining about that song but I still haven't even unlocked it yet. :lol: Here we are a month after release and I'm still opening new songs. :up: Good stuff.

I caved and bought 3 Crue songs. Dr. Feelgood, Without You, and Don't Go Away Mad. Dr. Feelgood destroyed me on Expert guitar. Failed out during the solo towards the end. 71% I think. Dropped it down to hard and they were all fun.

Are you saying Dr.Feelgood on expert didn't make....you...feel...good? Hardy Har Har :)

Hey. I recently purchased the RB2 wireless drum set and am having problems with missing notes/syncing. I remember reading a mod Shagrath made that seemed effective. If anyone could please tell me about it or any other mod that may help I'd appeciate it. I did the calibration already.

Thanks in advance

WTF? No Kickstart? :whofart:

GoVegan 10-15-08 08:27 AM

I listened to that whole album to see if any songs jumped out at me and I just didn't care for any of it. Maybe it's like the Pixies album for a lot of people - if you weren't on board the first time around you're just not going to change your mind now. I'm sure some of them would be fun to play, but just not for me to listen to.

xmiyux 10-15-08 08:32 AM

Yeah the album brought back floods of memories of middle school dances so i just bought the whole thing.

rabbit77 10-15-08 08:50 AM

Where do you guys look for discounts on MS points? I usually just go the impulse buy route and add points to my account right through the console.

I want to get more songs but don't want to pay full price anymore.

Michael Corvin 10-15-08 08:54 AM

Deals are usually posted here. Just keep an eye out, they are very infrequent. Maybe twice a year, that's why you hear of people stocking up.

pinata242 10-15-08 08:54 AM

When there are deals, they'll be posted in the main Xbox thread and often the XBLA thread. I try to post them in the RB thread (and I guess the GH thread now).

Usually they're in speedy's ads a week or so in advance or there will be special web promotions (giveaways, contests, amazon, whatever) that will be announced in the VG forum somewhere.

It got me at 95%. :lol: :sad:

Also picked up Kickstart, Don't Go Away Mad, and S.O.S., but didn't try them yet.

REL77 10-15-08 08:58 AM

Rabbit, deals dont pop up often, but when they do, there usually like $5 off the $20 card, or something... Right now amazon has the $20 card for $17.99 shipped

Amazon had the $50 cards for $40 a few weeks ago, which is an okay deal. Aren't most of the really good deals on points cards usually unintended price or coupon mistakes?

The most amazing deal was a regular Target sale ($14.99) coupled with a $10 off X360 title coupon that didn't actually apply, but you could get the cashiers to override. $5 + tax for $20 worth of points was awesome. I got 11 1600 point cards myself and I'm already down to about 7000 :(

So, yes, you're not going to see much better than 25% off, but even that is better than retail.

Michael Corvin 10-15-08 09:25 AM

The Target gaffe is indeed the best(I nabbed 7 myself), but the best legit deal was Circuit City's B1G1 deal last summer.

:up: I forgot about that one. That was right when I got my 360 and I think my first 9600 points lasted me all the way until the Target deal.

lordwow 10-15-08 09:28 AM

Ya the CC B1G1 was the best legit one I got in on. Target has had the 1600 at $14.99 which isn't too bad. Other than that, I've done a lot of the stupid contests that give them out like the design a car thing.

Spiderbite 10-15-08 09:47 AM

So rabbit...now that you five starred Visions...would you say that is the hardest song you have had to do between all the various RB/GH games or is there a different one? Just curious.

And I agree with REL77...I just don't want to even attempt to practice this song. It's one thing to have to suffer thru it during a Medium try once but to have to endure the lead singer's growling everytime you practice it on Hard or Expert...Yuck!

They really made the song too damn hard in my opinion. But then again...I am not an Expert player but just a halfway decent Hard one. But it still seems to difficult on Hard. Guess we are stuck with it and no chance for an update to make it easier...Hint, hint? :)
