Ok, I wasn't bitching to bitch. I was gloating in the fact that some people would have to wait to play their awesome new game.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I have a question for when you get it. Activate no-fail mode and turn down the crowd noise. Get a song started with a guitar or keyboard and then stop playing. Does the song continue to play with the rest of the band and the guitar/keyboard part removed, or does the game add random noises (which the instrument might make) in there? In Rock Band 2, it plays the song with the part removed, but in the Beatles game it adds random noises. It's kind of like if someone is playing but missing notes. I didn't see any way to disable this.
What's nice about the way RB2 handles it is that if you have a real guitar or other instrument, you can get a nice backing track with the rest of the band that you can use to play along.

I just go into the Practice Mode for guitar and the backing track plays perfect

Noticed that in the RBN store (and probably the normal one) you can list everything out by release date, so it makes it really easy to see what new songs went up and when.
However, in the library if you sort by "Date Acquired" it doesn't check like the file creation date, so I only have two categories, Newly Acquired (Hendrix) and Previously Acquired. Kind of disappointed about that, but at least from now going forward it should work.
One amazing thing is how fast everything is. Navigating through the menus is completely seamless and fluid. Also the time it takes to load a song is ridiculously fast.
Oh, and Pro Drums is awesome as fuck. It makes even the boring songs really fun. But now I found that one of my Ion cymbals is double registering sometimes, and in general they are just too loud. I think I might go buy another couple of the Pintech ones, they seem really good.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Also, if you google "RB3989430M34/02/1" you will find listings for the bundle, but no clue which ones are actually shipping now and which aren't. It's pretty hit or miss I think.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I went to my local K-Mart tonight, which I'm sure like most of yours is a total shithole. I went to electronics, searched for RB3, couldn't find it, then when I actually found someone who worked there I explained that Rock Band 3 should be out now, and that they moved the release date up so if they could grab one from the back I would promptly pay them for it and be on my way. Guy was all "Derp yeah no problem herp I'll be right derp back derp" but then came back and said they hadn't even gotten any.
So close.

Yeah. Much easier to list it like that; avoids any rights/licensing issues with the BTTF soundtrack. I would imagine it makes it easier to merge with any future Huey Lewis DLC, too.

How does the character creation match up to RB2? Can you recreate your previous band members like you essentially could in RB2?

I don't like the use of Greatest Hits albums for the covers. I understand that with "The Power of Love" it's problematic with licensing, but in most other cases they should use the original album.

PS. I have Pintechs with my IONs and I HIGHLY recommend them. The 10 inch hi-hat is flawless, even with super fast runs of notes. Not a single missed note or double hit. The 14 inch works great for ride and crash
