Sooo... is the DLC out yet?

[mattitude]

I don't get to pick up my game until 10 AM tomorrow...

And granted, I could easily boot up my 360 and check for myself, but dammit, I'm already sitting down, and I'm quite lazy and drunk...

So... is the DLC released yet? As in, after midnight of the release date? Because it'd be fantastic to expand my playlist right off the the bat once I pick up the game.

Blarf. I'm going to bed now.

[boltin]

there is no RB DLC avaible yet in the PSN

I think they said 2 am in the other thread - I don't know if that's true, but that's the only time I've heard - lets give it another half hour and see. Sadly, I don't have internet at home - I just moved - and my girlfriends place (where I'm at now) doesn't have a TV or a single non-laptop computer so I can't check at either place. I'd even go into work to check, but it's an all Mac office, and the Xbox VGA cable won't connect to them. Arg.

[sumboxcar182]

i highly doubt it but hopefully it should be up by this morning

[Smoky_McAshtray]

I don't know when they're planning on releasing it, but I know all the Xbox Live Arcade games are released at 4am EST on Wednesdays, so maybe it won't be until 4....just a guess seeing as that's the only thing I have to reference it to.

[sumboxcar182]

yeah also i did check (i have no life) and they're not up yet.

[LongDarkBlues]

well, HMX said they submitted the patch with the DLC and that both were scheduled for 'Day 1' - is tomorrow Day 0?

[sumboxcar182]

ok this is straight from the microsoft website :
"Harmonix and MTV Games have announced the release schedule through the end of 2007 for individual song tracks and song packs for the game Rock Band?. Beginning November 20, fans will be able to purchase three-song packs from Metallica, The Police, and Queens of the Stone Age for 160 Microsoft Points per track and 440 Points per pack. Individual tracks from Foreigner, Wolfmother, and The Runaways, among others, are available for 160 Microsoft Points.



New song packs are available through the end of 2007.

And that's just through the end of 2007. Fans can expect more music every week through 2008 with tracks ranging in price from 80 to 240 Microsoft Points, with most tracks being offered for 160 Points.

<b>Here's the full release schedule for November and December of 2007</b>. All three-song packs are available for 440 Microsoft Points, with each track also available individually. All individual tracks are 160 Microsoft Points each. All tracks marked with an asterisk (*) are cover songs as made famous by the listed artist. Tracks without an asterisk are original master recordings."


hopefully this means we'll have this tomorrow.

another thing in that is that i was hoping that we'd get songs for the week of christmas but this article seems to not say that.

[Smoky_McAshtray]

everything I've read on the subject says they announced the first 5 weeks. The week of Dec 18 is the 5th week, so I think we'll be good as far as xmas week goes. They probably just haven't scheduled anything that far ahead yet.

Where at in Rock Band do you look for DLC? I have it for the 360.

[capitalfn9]

xbox live marketplace is where you get the dlc but its not up yet

[Meancode]

Where at in Rock Band do you look for DLC? I have it for the 360.

This is totally crap but I did get it confirmed with my PR rep. There is no in-game menu. You have to go through the Dash outside of the game. I hope they make it easy to get to the DLC blade in the game.

And its not up yet... and its 4 AM... and I would really like to give them my money, but they apparently do not want it.

[Matthew62024]

Their UP!!!! Check em' out!!!

[Meancode]

Rock on!

Why does this post require 10 characters?

Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! Rock on!

There.

[CyN1caL]

Just bought Fortunate Son and played it through on guitar on hard. My buddies went home, so couldn't test it in a band setting yet.

Cover is pretty damn good, and I would try the vocal track, but my voice is going from singing all night :(

[morik_trask]

Ps3 have dlc out yet? Or is it just the 360?

[jimmyn28]

I checked a few minutes ago, and there was no DLC yet for PS3. And why are you guys *****ing about not having an in-game menu for DLC? Are you so lazy that you can't back out to the dashboard/XMB and download it from the Marketplace/PSN? It literally takes an extra minute -- if not less -- to purchase and download the game through an external means.

[LesPaul5391]

could someone post exactly what DLC is out? My PS3 isn't online right now. I'm just wonderin if it's exactly what was scheduled or if there are any complete albums?

On XBL, it's just the announced stuff.

[MidwestDrummer]

No, the PS3 DLC has not been released yet.

[morik_trask]

No, the PS3 DLC has not been released yet.

Shafted again:( Oh well. I can't play till 7am anyway.

[MidwestDrummer]

Shafted again? The game has not even ben out for 24 hours yet. There are nearly 70 songs bundled with the game! I see no reason to feel shafted at this point.

[morik_trask]

Nah...was actually referring to the lack of Boss songs in GH3. 360 got them. We didn't. No biggie:) There's more than enough to keep me busy.

[Rock_Starman]

You should know PSN doesn't update untill the afternoon or sometime at night,well unless you just got one. XBL updates 2 am pacific. I should check for DLC since I'm in Canada,intresting to see if it's there or not with the rumored delay.

Nope not up for Canada...or Japan...or Europe. So we've been offically screwed over and even those that are getting it from the US still have to wait for DLC. I predict 5 complaint topics about this.

[xizorhutt]

dlc is up and running

[morik_trask]

PSN actually got an update sometime between 9pm and 1am central time last night. Couldn't access the online store until we got it. I was hoping that was it.....I can't wait to get home from work!!!! :)

[DirtyDozen]

Has anyone tried the cover of Juke Box Hero yet? I'm dying to know how that is. Is it anywhere near the original? I wish this one was a master track.

[KidInsomnia]

I just heard that DLC is sorted by difficulty (Metallica songs are under "Impossible", etc) :eek:

Does anyone have a revised Song List with the new tracks in order?

[KaYotiX]

Just DLed about $20 worth of music on the 360 :) LOVE THIS GAME SO FAR!!! Awesome!!!

[NotorietyH]

Shafted again:( Oh well. I can't play till 7am anyway.

The PSN never updates this early. They said it was going to be Tuesday. The 58 songs in the game can't get you through 5 or 6 hours without DLC???

[robmandark]

xbox 360 DLC is OUT.

[DarkSide]

Anybody tried the metallica pack yet?

[Meancode]

Anybody tried the metallica pack yet?

Yep, they are all in one of the last difficulty tiers. Ride the Lighting, And Justice For All, and Blackened. Great stuff.

[DarkSide]

Joker and the thief just raped me on lead.

[tantric132]

Can you download it without having Rock Band yet? I'm getting the game today at 10 but I'm bored and would like to download the packs now.

[Blue88]

So, how long until videos are posted?

[DirtyDozen]

Can you download it without having Rock Band yet? I'm getting the game today at 10 but I'm bored and would like to download the packs now.

Yes, you can download them now and they'll appear in the game once you get it. I just downloaded all of the packs and most of the individual songs (but not the ones already in the packs!).

[DarkSide]

So far all I've downloaded is "Fortunate Son", which is a decent cover and quite fun to play, and "Joker and the Thief," which is listed as a "Nightmare Song," and is pretty f'n tough.
