AWESOME. I have been holding out hope for .38 Special. More Bad Co is completely unexpected, and more Skynyrd is brilliant. All but one have Pro Guitar? Sweet.

Not as exciting as previous weeks, but still pretty cool.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I gotta say, I'm in for this DLC. Hold on Loosely is the highlight for me.

Yep, I will likely buy all of this.

I really enjoyed the John Lennon DLC and hope it gets supported so we see more solo stuff from him, Paul and George in the future.

I'd love to have tons of stuff from GH: 80's so I'm down for Hold On Loosely next week.

Especially since my character is Deuce Loosely. He's gonna rock that shit!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I'm in for everything next week. It seems like it's been about two months straight of buying most/all DLC every week.

Exact opposite here, not a single song worth buying in almost a month now

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

The past two weeks (Bee Gees, John Lennon) have both been quality DLC weeks but nothing I need to buy immediately other than Stayin' Alive for my Black Friday RB Party. But all of the announced songs today are instant purchases for me.

Hard to justify spending $10-20 every week on DLC, though. I should look into hosting a RB night once or twice a month at a bar so I can pay for my DLC and peripherals.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

So I just did the math and I've spent $75 on DLC since the launch of RB3.

And speaking of... the sorting options for most recent content in RB3 are really lame. You only get the most recent 20 tracks you purchased. Everything else goes into the full list. Last night I just wanted to play through all my recent DLC, but nope, had to go hunt for it.

That is lame...it should be a slider bar you can set from 5-100 or so.

Four Pro Guitar tracks! Awesome

The Lennon album is great too. They sure have been releasing a lot of good DLC lately.

Agreed. I'm not even sure why they would bother releasing the feature with such a piss poor implementation as this.
IMO they should change it to 'Release Date'.

Also "If I'd Been the One" and one of the guiltiest of guilty pleasures "Back to Paradise". Still, "Hold on Loosely" will be great fun.

Yeah, it's completely half-assed. The fact that it's called "Date Acquired" and there isn't even a date at all is just stupid, and almost worth-less. I was really looking forward to that feature, so I was bummed to find out how it was implemented.

Down to $27.99 at Amazon for the 360 and PS3, and $17.99 for the Wii.

(EDIT: This may be just a Thanksgiving sale rather than a new price drop.)

According to this German website, the Creedence Clearwater Revival 12-pack will be on sale for 400 points tomorrow!

Fantastic deal if it pans out.

SO FUCKING GLAD I waited! After the Gaga and Nirvana sales this week, I was really hoping the CCR pack would see one. PS3ers already got a deal on this, right?
