FYI, I noticed the 'Picture' function on RockBand.com is now almost instantaneous, if anyone still hasn't messed with it.

Here's a BotB that's kicking off tonight at midnight EDT: http://www.rockband.com/battle-detail/week5_dant
:lol: I love the rules. One song, by the dev's band, requiring the dev's instrument (I assume). |
I still can't see any of the pictures or custom merch because of the strange linking problem I'm having along with 22 pages worth of people on the RB support forum. I know it's "only" been a week and a half since the problem was first posted, but it's getting really annoying.

I dont mind the bump back just make sure they get it right.
Without knowing exactly what Nintendo's solution is for storage its hard to justify building an RB platformer out of it right now. No reason to invest in DLC for Wii that will have to be repurchased if I go 360. |
I know, I just wanted to make sure you knew how much more rocking time you could get in by switching teams now ;)

Man when I read the first line of the post I thought it was saying all 3 were bumped back.

Its not really about switching, as I'd still have a Wii its about adding more replay value long term. You guys add massive replay value. |

Skid Row:
18 and Life is a guarantee b/c it is already charted. Youth Gone Wild (hopefully) I Remember You (hopefully) Alice Cooper: Not knowledgeable enough about his catalogue, but would love: No More Mr. Nice Guy School's Out Poison or I'm Eighteen |

I'm definitely down for a Skid Row pack(no love for Monkey Business?) as well as some Alice Cooper. Makes you wonder if that will be the announcement tomorrow to tie in with the show.

No idea, but it's not going to be anything that's not already available as regular DLC. Therefore, the only reason for us to get it (or even rent it) is for the 250 achievement points, and the possibility of an export (probably a 1-time use thing like AC/DC).

Its not really about switching, as I'd still have a Wii its about adding more replay value long term. You guys add massive replay value. So speaking theoretically, if I wanted to switch all my RB playing to 360, I'd probably have to buy: RB2 Special Edition RB1 disc $5 for import of RB1 songs Rebuy DLC for 360 Now, for those of you who have been playing online together, are you still going to be playing a lot of the songs from RB1, or are you just focusing on the new stuff now? Also, in order to play as an online band, all 4 people have to purchase a DLC song to play it together, correct? |
When pinata and I played we did the challenges which are a good mix of RB1/2/DLC.
