Will probably get that pack.

Anyone want to buy the Startocaster? I'm selling mine, hardly played it. Functions as a nice guitar and also plugs into Rock Band / Rocksmith ect. Make me an offer, they go for near £300 on eBay.. But I need the money so can't ask that much.

Looks like all of the Wii DLC is working on the WiiU now at no extra cost, so that bodes well for Xbox and Playstation... hopefully!

Shame about the death of Rock Band these last few months. I've only picked up a few songs, but it looks like a few of you have found the recent stuff more to your tastes? I hope the next generation doesn't kill this game completely

Its an on and off thing for me with Rockband.... haven't played it in a while, apart from the past 3 days cause I took my xbox up to a Villa we rented for new year, so it got played by part of the crowd while I was smoking out my braincells...

Sometimes though I do get the urge to play again... it could last for a week or a month... but its usually the summer period when it gets played as I go off Fifa a bit when the season closes and this would be the game I return to when I dont feel like playing something else...

[TigaSefi]

I play it on an off as well. I am MUCH too interested in Rocksmith at the moment for example but some times I like to rock out with the drums

[Corazon de Leon]

I can't afford DLC for most of the year - during the rare periods of time that I can, I'll play the gooseberry fool out of what I get. The problem I have is that I golden almost every song as soon as I get it and it's a bit easy. That sounds really arrogant, it's not meant to be - I find the instruments too hard to play on them at the higher levels sometimes.

All the cool kids play Rocksmith now.

I thought that pack came out ages ago?

[melatonin]

Those songs were included with Rock Band Blitz. They're releasing every song in the game separately over however many weeks for people who haven't bought it.

It is very silly.

Works out more expensive too 600 points rock band blitz was !! Nuts!

[Fruits Punch Samurai]

I'm still busy buying songs from the never ending sale!

Has anyone had this glitch while playing drums? When I get enough energy to go into high scoring mode, the free drum parts seem to skip. Like I'll see an empty lane ahead where the free drumming part should be, but the big green button is waiting to be hit at the end. It's weird.

DLC Week of 2/12 - Extreme, Nazareth, Peter Cetera, REO Speedwagon & Soft Cell!

Hey gang,

For all of the lovers out there this Valentine’s Day, Harmonix presents a collection of music’s greatest rock and pop ballads, coming to the Rock Band Music Store on February 12th!

Extreme’s acoustic classic, “More Than Words” – off 1990’s Extreme II: Pornograffiti – was a departure from the band’s funky rock sound, but managed to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100! As a bonus, every “More Than Words” download will include a Pro Guitar upgrade!

Originally recorded by The Everly Brothers in the 1960s, Nazareth made “Love Hurts” a huge hit in the late ‘70s, making it an international hit for the Scottish rockers. This 2009 re-recording of the track by the band brings all the feeling and energy of the original to Rock Band!

Peter Cetera’s Billboard Hot 100 number one hit “Glory of Love,” from 1986’s Solitude/Solitaire, also earned the singer/songwriter a nomination for an Academy Award for “Best Original Song” as it appeared in the film The Karate Kid, Part II!

Among REO Speedwagon’s thirteen Top 40 hits, the classic rock power ballad “Keep On Loving You” may be their most memorable, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100!

Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” from the English pop duo’s 1981 debut, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, will also be available on the Rock Band Music Store on February 12th!

Available on Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation®3 system (February 12th, 2013):

$1.99 USD, £1.19 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points ™, 200 Wii Points™) per song

Tracks marked with “O” feature support for keyboards; the track marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar track for no additional cost.

I need a new RB guitar. I'm in the US. They're all really strawberry floating expensive because Mad Catz don't really make them any more, even though Harmonix are still putting out DLC on a weekly basis. Good one.

Has anyone tried the Mad Catz Bass controller? This one - http://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-Rock-Ban ... _sim_vg_28 - think it has a split strum bar or something. Any cop for playing regular guitar sections with?
