Played a few of the tracks in RB3 but I gotta get ready for work soon. I'll try Blitz proper after work.
The best part was realizing that if they'd only release 99 Luftballons to go with Jessie's Girl and Sister Christian we could recreate My Awesome Mix Tape #6.

Still trying to just play the damn game after playing one song in the demo this morning, hours ago.
1. Download the demo.
2. Discover DLC for 25 minutes (seriously).
3. Play one song, then purchased it.
4. Lets discover DLC AGAIN!
5. Okay, now you need to download the songs.
6. Alright, lets go... oh wait, lets hang at the loading screen instead.
7. Discover DLC AGAIN...
8. Haven't gotten here yet.

Woot, finally was able to play the full game. Pretty fun so far. Facebook stuff is annoying. Especially since you can't view the goals in the game, yet it will tell you if you got progress towards one (yet no indication of how much progress or if it was completed). The Facebook implementation seems very half-assed.

Okay...so i see you folks are having some trouble with this and I do plan to spend tonight with it.
If I'm one of those people who just wants the songs in RB3 and I could care less about Blitz...is there a simple path to take or am I doomed to do these 8-9 steps for the darn songs ?

Step 1: Download and launch Blitz.
Step 2: Download DLC per the prompt in Blitz
Step 3: Play DLC in RB3
I did it this morning at like 4am in a half-asleep state.

What are the two RB DLC songs for that Parenthetically Speaking challenge? I don't think I own them.

Well, I just got to give it the briefest of a try this morning before work. It seemed pretty cool, but I want to see where the Power Ups figure in. I guess you have to play a while before you get them, right?
Just curious : Do you folks think it's easier to play using the sticks or the D-pad/A Button to "catch" the notes? I tired it both ways and I'm not sure yet.
Looks like it's finally time I imported my Lego RB and RB2 music. I always figured I didn't need them since I'd palyed at tleast the RB2 songs to death a few years back and I always had plenty of other songs to play (plus I always felt it a little unfair to pay to play songs I already bought at full price), but with this new format, I think it's time. Bought some cheap points at www.crazygametime.com -- not sure they're 100% on the level, but they deliver almost instantly with cheap points either way, and now I'm ready to finally do the export.

If you could use the fight stick knob to change lanes and the buttons to capture notes, that would be awesome. I'll have to dust off my SF IV Tournament Fight Stick and see how it plays...

I see. I didn't even check for different button configurations. I might have to try that, I like the idea of using the bumpers instead of d-pad/a.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I was curious about how missing tracks are handled so I played Green Day's vocal-only "Song of the Century". Clearly I was way behind the learning curve of that.
I played it without powerups, got 100%, 7,000 points, and 4 stars to Shag's ~700k. Not having all the powerups, particularly the assumed double-vocal-points one, I'm not sure what the trick is to high scores yet. So I played again picking 2x OD and fire notes, got 99% because I fucked up early, 30k points, and gold stars.
This game is wicked variable.
