    Disclaimer: I haven't read any of the above posts so, if someone else already has suggested the following then ignore this.

    This just occurred to me, the whole coins system has a very iOS feel to it so why not use the under-appreciated pro-upgrades in an exploitative manner by having them act literally as coins so when you purchase a pro-upgrade you receive a 1000 coins in Blitz.

    Little to no value for Blitz players, but insane value for RB3 (pro-upgrade) players and if they start to sell more perhaps we start to get more maybe even legacy pro-upgrades.

    Please bring back ALBUMS to the music library. I enjoyed playing Dookie and other albums start to finish and now it's more difficult to do so. Also, my recommended screen is filled with only Creedence Clearwater Revival songs and tracks I've already played. How about recommending something that might have to do with goals, or tracks I own that are similar to the genre I play most?

    So start charging real money for coins, which they said they won't do? Would people like me who already have every pro guitar upgrade not get the coins?

    +1 what the heck is that awful scratchy noise supposed to be anyways?

    I'm sure most have been covered, but add more support for:

    - offline mode (either a separate 'save' altogether or one which is synchronized online when connected)

    - allow for score tracking in 'pass the controller' play. May have to be offline or if another PSN id on the console can seamlessly log in / switch to play a song.

    - as it is currently constructed, there seems no reason why PS3 & XBL can't have the same leaderboards. So, truly global leaderboards.

    - track goals in game

    - I can't for the life of me figure out how to start a score war outside of the initial recommended one. Maybe I am missing this one. I'd like to simply pick someone off the leaderboards or similar.

    Having a blast with the game....just want more :-) Thanks

Well, that makes sense, but the issue is that you lose the coins you allocated for powerups for that song. I think that needs to be fixed, if possible. Also when that warning screen comes up, I wish it didn't make you go back to the main menu and make you sit through the checking downloadable content again.

    If anyone else can confirm this is happening to them, that would be great.

    I got confirmation of this over IM this morning:

    (9:36:23 AM) Stack: Way to lose coins: Select a demo song
    (9:36:39 AM) Stack: It won't play, and you lose whatever coins you had invested on the power-ups
    I find this kind of scary. Since they're not marked, all my demos are sitting in the song list like invisible land mines waiting to take my precious coins away. Precccioussssss...

    Would be nice if after you unlock all your powerups, your cred would make progress toward coin bonuses. I believe cred doesn't really do anything other than add up for Rock Band World charts, but it would be nice to still have the progress bar in the game and you'd unlock a bonus 1,000 coins or something like that. So occasionally you'd get coin bonuses just for increasing your cred.
