With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, a lot of us will be getting some extended time to be able to play the game everybody (well, at least everybody who matters) wants. So, that being said, I just wanted to know how many days everyone's going to be able to give to Rock Band.

For myself, while I most certainly will play Tuesday (after work)...I will have Wednesday night all the way until Sunday to completely immerse myself in this awesome world. Much thanks to my work for giving me a four day weekend.

How about you guys? Anybody getting it Tuesday as soon as the store opens and gets the priviledge of being able to play straight through for a near week?

Lucky bastards if you do...lol.

While I do have to work Tuesday and Wednesday, I took off the whole week after Thanksgiving. That's 11 straight days to rock out with no interruptions.

I win the thread :D

I'm doing the midnight release at Best Buy, and I've taken the 20th off from work--as have my roommates. It's going to be so epic.

Well, assuming it comes out here in Canadiania, I have Tuesday off as a holiday, Wednesday and Thursday as my regular days off, I work Friday, I work Saturday but usually I can leave on my lunch because we're dead on weekends, off Sunday through Friday, work Saturday (again), and off Sunday to Sunday.

I was (un?)fortunately able to schedule vacation only at this time of year because of staffing issues we had in the spring and summer, so I'll be a tad disappointed if the Canadian delay is fact.

:eek: yes, yes you do...

I'm gonna see if I can get Wednesday off. That way, I'll have Tuesday after work through Sunday, with time out on Thanksgiving for the family get together.

Our school is giving us all week off, so I'll be at gamestop at 11:30 Monday night to ensure I'm the first to get it at the midnight release. (and the gamestop here better do one, they say they're still not sure) My cousin is gonna be in all week from colllege, so we will be going non-stop through BWT. It will kind of be going on tour all week to all my friends houses that I promised I'd let play.

Tuesday - Class till noon, playing with college roomies until my brain stops working.
Wednesday - Driving 5 hours home. Playing when I get there.
Thursday - Setting up the system after the Packer game for the family to use (all 50+ of us). Should be a blast.
Friday - Playing all day, bowling and drinks at night.
Saturday - This is the day to end all days. Huge gathering, 52 inch HDTV, surround sound, entire day dedicated to group RB play. Can't friggn WAIT!

Unfortunately I'm going to be torturing myself when the game first arrives. I'm visiting the in-laws for Thanksgiving in the USA, but, being Canadian had them graciously agree to allow the game to be delivered to their home. So when the game arrives Tuesday, I'll go through an agonizing 4 day period where I can only molest the box, and won't be able to play it until I return to Canada on Saturday.

Still, that's better than waiting 'till the 20th of December, so I'm not complaining much.

I'll be able to play straight through Tue-Fri, minus Turkey-Time(tm). Should be a decent amount of time to have my RB cherry popped.

Good thing I requested time off from work over six weeks ago. :D

Tuesday: I have to work, so if there is no Monday Midnight release, I have to find some time during work to pick mine up...then I'll play that night.

Wednesday: Work again...then I'll play when I get home after I get the kids to bed

Turkey day: Having some of the single soldiers in my unit over to the house to eat, then play while the in-laws babysit the tricycle motors.

Friday: For as long as the wife doesn't yell at me.

Saturday: See Friday.

Sunday: See Friday.

I don't have a job... I don't have school (yet)... So looks like i'll be able to play it for a good while. I'm really paranoid about it though, I keep telling myself I'll get my pre-order but this whole "shortage" thing is really starting to bother me =\. I called my EBGames to reassure me and they said they haven't heard anything about a shortage. They also told me that if they took my money I was guaranteed a copy of the bundle. And this is coming from the guys that had PS3s stacked over my head on launch day (Some kid tried to buy one but the guy kept telling him they were pre-orders only and he couldn't buy one until someone didn't come in and get the pre-order, so I don't think they'll give my RB bundle away) when I went to get my 360, so I should be ok.

I only have one class on Tuesday morning, so I'll start at around 11am on Tuesday!

Then it's Wednesday in the evening,
Thursday I have to roast the damn turkey. It's gonna take all day!
Friday, I have a small party with 6 people coming over to play. SCHWEET!
Saturday and Sunday I might head over to my friend's house who also bought a bundle so we can do some head-to-head drums!

I was going to go through each day, but basically I'm calling out sick on Tuesday, and playing every second that I can. I have no school/work from 22-26th.

I suppose I have to add in time for the girlfriend as well :)

I'm coming home from college on Tuesday and picking that up. However my younger brother is also picking up Mass Effect. I'll let him mess around with that for a few hous while I go out and then hold a 12 hour jam session from midnight to noon. I'll pick up some energy drinks or something at noon and get home before he's back from school, start on Mass Effect for like 5 hours, and then head back to Rock Band for the rest of the holiday.

Put it this way: Nov 20th - Nov 25th will forever be known as "Rock Band Weekend." I'm hosting Thanksgiving again this year, so my family is going to pretty much get to party hard. =)

Let's see

Tuesday: I actually don't have class this evening like I typically do, so I'll be starting after I get off work.
Wednesday: Once I get off work. My brother and his girlfriend will be in town for just this day, so I envision some Band Quickplay or BWT this evening.
Thursday: all day
Friday: all day - pending any good Black Friday deals
Saturday: Most if not all day
Sunday: all day
Monday: took this day off, so all day.

Do I come in second in this thread then?

I'm going to struggle to meet my quota next week, but I'll do my damnedest.

Tuesday: Work till 5:00, followed by private drum lessons until at least 8:30pm (depending on how many students will be in town)- I'll maybe get in a few hours before bed time.

Wednesday: Work till 5:00, then the whole night... probably have my buddy come over for rocking.

Thursday: Family Thanksgiving action. I'll be over at my folks' house. Maybe I'll bring the game and see if my Mom will sing some Sabbath or something. ;p

Friday: Finally, a whole day off! I'm throwing a bit of an open house for my friends who want to play, so I'll be sure to get some good co-op going.

Saturday and Sunday will be filled, with Rock Band, as well. This is where I'll probably devote a bunch of time to unlocking songs in solo mode. Thankfully, the Broncos don't have a home game that weekend (I'm on their drumline), so I'll have about zero commitments to fulfil, other than to the gods of video game rocking.

I'm picking it up around 3pm on the 20th, playing it til around 6pm by myself then going to some friends from works house and all of us are having a game night and playing til midnight or so. Then I'm off work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the rest of the week. So basically I have Tuesday at 3pm to Sunday around 7pm to play. Then leave to head back up from visiting at home for the weekend.

Ok, let's see...

Tuesday - If Midnight release, I'll play until I have to go to work...no joke. If not, I'll get it as soon as I can after work and stay up with my wife and my friend until Early Wednesday morning playing it until work.

Wednesday - I can only play after 9pm :( But I will be playing it as late as I want because I have no work on...

Thursday - My wife and I will be playing until around 1pm, when my parents are coming over to play until who knows when. When they leave, my wife and I will continue to play.

Friday - All day, non stop - whoever wants to come over is welcome.

Saturday - All day, should have a few friends over

Sunday - Scattered throughout the day, I'm really busy on Sundays, but I'll play every chance I get and of course until late that night.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Woot, got the day off the 21st, so from Tuesday after work until Sunday I'll be rocking out, except for a few hours to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family. Which is good, since I'll probably be too obsessed with the game to eat anything healthy before then. And hey, leftovers to carry me through the rest of the weekend!

Normally I could play almost as much as I want, although I have company visiting the day it is released so I have to play it in doses until they leave. When that happens, I can almost play as much as I want.

Uh let's see... go to Gamestop that morning at 9. Play it for 2 1/2 hours and go to work til 6. I'm seriously thinking about taking my 360 up to the pharmacy I work at and playing it in the office since my dad's the pharmacist ;) lol.
