I don't think I want to buy two versions of a song at once - people who want 2x bass pedal versions, are they buying both the 1x and 2x? Why bother with a 1x version? It made the RBN release feel a little cluttered, but, that kind of feels like a good thing as another niche gets quenched.

I can answer some of this.

HMX has decided that for official DLC, they will only chart a single bass pedal. So, in RBN, there was enough of a consensus to offer 2X Bass Pedal that they came to this conclusion:
1) To release a 2X bass pedal version, there needs to be a 1X bass pedal version first.
2) The 2X chart will be the expert chart. Before that, all normal rules apply (this is why there is also a 1X version, as the expert chart for 1X won't appear otherwise).
3) All other instruments should be the same (I think one song has a minor difference somewhere between the 2 versions, but otherwise, they're identical).

So, the PS3 will never not get a 1X version, because there are plenty of folks who don't want the 2X version. Meanwhile, the 2X version experiment is still ongoing. It looks like 2X sales are down when there was a delay between versions, and 2X versions generally sold less well than 1X versions (expected), but I can only pull numbers from Rockbandscores.com, so I don't have any real sales numbers to work with (HMX does). The big question will be, was it worth it for HMX to do that (not sure how much work it took), and will it effect how songs are released in the future (as sales were hurt if songs were released separately, so they might be released together, which means you'll have to wait for songs that have 2X charts, and there might be an all metal week, which isn't popular with a lot of folks)

So, still waiting for sleeping with sirens, August Burns Red, BTBAM and the rest of Free Spirit stuff.

Don't we have Africa? I know we have the RBN1 version, I thought we got the RBN2 version during the double bass week?

Enjoyed Hitman Blues a lot, so glad it made it over (It's a shame some songs have been on my list for so long, I'm starting to forget/lose interest in some)> But yay to more Free Spirit. It's a shame it's a week to late for my party though.

On a side note, almost daily my 4 year old granddaughter asks me why I can't download more Free Spirit (She insists I play "Far Away From Heaven" every time I play now, and she sings along). I'd ask HMX the same question, but, sadly, I know the answer. They're working on it.

Can we get some Arkaea on PS3 plz! \m/

This is actually really cute. =) If HMX reads this, I think they will immediately port the rest of the Free Spirit tracks over. Right, HMX?

Okay you guys have me on the Free Spirit Bandwagon... MOAR Free Spirit!
Also I would love to see Over the Top- White Wizzard & Conquer Me-Damone.

EDIT: forgot one! "Frankenstein Teaser Trailer" by Richard Campbell

This Please HMX, or at least If It Means A Lot To You. It's one of my favourites.
