Looks like we'll be needing a dedicated Official Rock Band Thread of Battles and Challenges.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

So, is there ANYTHING missing from this damn game? They can never do Rock Band 4, I swear every day I read about a new feature or something. I guess they could do a lame goth story with the main characters and their evil counterparts and some sort of rise to fame. Oh wait, Guitar Hero just did that

Hi-hat pedal. Glaring omission for Pro-Drums

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I can't remember where I read it right now and maybe I saw it mentioned in a video, but I have a vague recollection of hearing that a double-pedal setup would allow for that somehow. Hell, maybe that was a different game.

I think it was a video with Alex. I'm on the hunt now.

It's only for fills/free style. You can use an extra pedal for kick or high hat.

Wait, the bundle doesn't have release date shipping on Amazon? WTF?

Or the pre-order credit. I may actually end up just sticking with Gamestop & tax for the free tracks.

Yeah, I'm thinking about cancelling my Amazon preorder and doing the same.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Thought it would be good to ask first.

Hello from Amazon.com.

Thank you for asking if "Rock Band 3" is eligible for Release-Date Delivery. I've checked the product detail page on Amazon.com, and it appears the item is not currently eligible for this shipping option.

We only offer the Release-Date Delivery option when we know we can get the item from our suppliers in time to meet our delivery promise to you. It is possible that this item will become eligible as the release date gets closer and we've confirmed our inventory.

At this time, I can only suggest that you check back on Amazon.com at a later time.
I'm guessing that if they get it in stock with enough time, they'll update the shipping options. I guess I'll ride it out a little further. The game by itself doesn't have release date shipping either yet.

Yes it does. At least, they advertise that it does, I haven't put it to the test.

This item is eligible for FREE Release-Date Delivery with Amazon Prime.

You are correct. I didn't see it when I scanned the page.

Interestingly, I looked into just ordering it from Gamestop.com and selecting in-store pickup. In-store pickup isn't an option for the bundle.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

It appears that it does not have a shipping date for the PS3 keyboard bundle. If you hover over the Xbox/Wii/PS3 boxes you will notice the change.

The PS3 bundle has been pulled from every retailer for unknown reasons.

Via RockBandAide:

Here’s your perfect opportunity to get “caught up” on some DLC you’ve been meaning to purchase!

Xbox is running a promotion the entire month of October where if you purchase a total of 2,400 MSP of any Arcade titles or game add-on content, you will receive 800 MSP automatically credit to your account for FREE! While most of the Arcade titles won’t get me excited, ALL Rock Band DLC is classified as “game add-on content,” and as such, is eligible for this promotion! And just to make sure, I reached out to @XboxSupport on Twitter, who confirmed for me that “ALL game add ons are eligible.”

Time to purchase some Xbox Live points!

Note: Offer available Worldwide in all Xbox LIVE countries, excluding Japan, Italy, and France.

Hey gang,

Rex tracks, all of which will be good for you and should be downloaded immediately. I'm especially looking forward to "It's the End of the World As We Know It", at the very least to see who can make it through the song without running out of breath! Enjoy!

R.E.M. – “Superman” +
R.E.M. – “These Days” +
R.E.M. – “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”

T. Rex – “Children of the Revolution” +
T. Rex – “Cosmic Dancer” +
T. Rex – “Jeepster”


(All tracks are original master recordings)

(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation 3 system Oct. 6)

These tracks will be available for purchase as individual tracks, as well as “R.E.M. Pack 01” and “T. Rex Pack 01” on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system and as individual tracks on Wii. Tracks marked with “+” will also be available for download in the family-friendly LEGO® Rock Band Music Store.

Nice. I'm slowly getting sucked back in with DLC like this.

I still have to unlock all the songs in Lego: RB, or at least export them.

Great week of DLC, no question about it!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

So where did the PS3 keyboard bundle go? Should I dig out my iron codpiece just in case?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I'm very pleased with the R.E.M. songs. And "End of the World" will be a glorious disaster as the finale to any drunken RB party. Can't wait.
