    Fix the Music Store, please. Choosing the 'recommended' option gives the error page saying that you have lost connection to Rock Central and boots you out to the main menu

    I'd like to say this was a brief issue with my connection or the game, but it's had a zero percent success rate of accessing the recommended section for the better part of two weeks. Before that, it would only show me the first five songs alphabetically in my recommended section, when it's supposed to show me 20 or 25 songs (I don't remember the exact number)

    I had a problem this morning on the PS3 where I was connected to rock central, but my score war didn't show up. I played the song anyway, and the game crashed going to the score breakdown (hard crash, had to power off the PS3 manually). I checked, and the score war was there and I got credit for my play, so I'm really not quite sure what happened.

    Then again, when I went here to report it at the time (around 5:20 AM Central time), Rockband.com was down, so it might have been related.

    I've had this exact problem. I also thought it was my connection, until I restarted my console twice. I wonder what the problem is.

    i have several features that i would like to see in rock band blitz. i will post 1 at a time so i dont clog up the feed with a massive post.

    If it was possible to i would love to see individual instrument play's in blitz, I know it might be pointless for a lot of songs but i would like it. Possibly with 4 notes being

    For example:
    L1L2R1R2 (Shoulders Layout)

    Or some other layout in which ever way possible, even with 2 notes as it is not would be good. I would like to see the goals that you find in rock band 3 being introduced into blitz, I love having hundreds of goals to do so.

    I have enough songs for it to be worth it for me but for everyone with less than say 500 songs it will give them a lot more to do. Maybe having different power-ups or single track or something or just having the X2 as it is in other rock band games.

    I understand people not liking this idea but for people who don't have many songs it will be great for giving them more to do with the game and more score war challenges.

    I have a feeling this may be impossible due to the game may having to be re-coded but pro charts were added to old rock band songs when rock band 3 came out so i have a feeling it could be possible.

    Either updating for free or having a £0.10 charge per song to get extra lanes on the songs.

    Easily make a lot of money from it cos ppl wont thing that £0.10 is a lot so a lot more people will upgrade songs to be able to do so but i think this could be a fantastic addition to blitz in the future.

    So have Guitar, Bass, Keys, Vocals, Drums and Band.

    Band being what blitz is now.

    I think it is a good idea but i'd like to know what everyone else thinks and seeing what changes could be made to this idea.

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmno. Only having one track to focus on for the whole song would be far too easy. Easy =/= fun.

    What a silly idea.

    "Hey Harmonix, make Blitz Rock Band 3 with a controller."

    That's the opposite of what they were aiming for.

    well i wrote a really long reply and then the site logged me out so i am just going to say.

    for people like me with lots of time on their hands to play a lot more content would not go a-miss. making anything i love the goals but there is not enough of them as each week there is more goals which can be completed within a day or 2, if there was a lot more goals released each week as in 10+ i would like the rock band 3 type goals where there is just hundreds of them scattered all around different parts of the game.

    that i all i was saying and for me i have always wanted to play rock band 3 with a controller seeing as due to health issues it is very rare for me to be able to play rock band 3 for longer than an hour at a time which is why blitz is perfect for me i am just wanting to put a suggestion out there that if it was possible would give people who do play kthe game a lot more things to do with it. rock band 3 can be played on 4 different instruments on base songs and 8 different instruments on the RB3+ songs. that is what i loved most about it, the thing that you only need to play each song once is a bit bad in my opinion which is why i like the goals that make you repeat them i just dont like adding a score that i have already played, which is why on rock band 3 i played on guitar, bass, drums and vox, grant it i sucked at most of it but at least i could play each song 4 times without having to repeat a song i have a score on.

    if they could bring out the goals like they have on rock band 3 where you need to gain coins/cred to unlock as you progress and complete some goals to unlock others would be good cos then they could create literally hundreds of goals instead of bringing out a few each week which can be completed too fast. make it is a long progression to complete the game so to speak.

    i have another suggestion and what is needed is a suggestion for the store and it is a sort option which allows you to hide or show only your purchased songs in the rock band store, i have thought it has been needed since a while before i bought 1k+ songs cos now when i am looking through the store and not searching for a specific song, i have to go through so many pages of purchased songs to just find some songs that i have not yet purchased

    also i think a show only would be good cos then you can check which songs u have purchased but are not in your library if you have had to format your ps3 which i have done twice and had to download all my songs again but there is a few that i have forgotton and had to find again in the store and re-download cos my PSN download list is too long to search through it all.

    Hi, I am new to this forum, and have not read through the entire thread, before posting this. If this has already been mentioned, I haven't seen it, and I might also be posting this in the wrong thread. If so, sorry about that.

    First of all I think Rock Band Blitz is a brilliant and smart way to revitalize the music game genre. But I have two minor issues. First of all, the game tend to freeze over a few times a week, this usually happens after I have spent some time in the store first, and then it freezes when I load the first of the new songs (when I want to play it).

    The second issue is regarding a few songs marked as on sale, and still costing full price. I am based in EU (more accurately in Norway), and am a PS3-user. While I have spent quite some money in your store, I cannot buy everything either. And I were quite happy to suddenly find out some songs were free (Free pack 1). Later I linked my account to facebook, and found out through the "cheap bastard"-goal that there were even more free songs. Though to my suprise only two were actually free ("Miranda Cosgrove - Headphones On" and "Vesuvius - Promised land"). The other two ("GlaDos - I'm Still Alive" and "Stephen and the Colberts - Charlene (I'm right behind you") was fully priced, even though they even are marked as on sale. I believe it is a mistake here.

    Not to be ungrateful, but my girlfriend and myself are loving this game, and every extra song we can get is a nice bonus. If it were just a limited offer, I think it's weird we got the other two for free. Anyway, I also believe The Offspring with Self-Esteem is wrongly priced. It is also marked as on sale, but you must pay full price. That Offspring song is even in a pack with three other songs, and that pack is marked as on sale, and that price is correct for a three-song-pack on sale.

    I'm turning to this forum, because I could not find an e-mail address to directly contact someone. In any case, I will comment you on this game. And I really hope you'll consider making an add-on pack with more songs, powers, trophies/achievements and perhaps add a two-player function (both co-op and against each other, like a battle or something. Perhaps through a split-screen or something like that).

    Hopefully the right person will see this post, or it may be moved to the right place, if I have missed the correct thread for this post. Thanks in advance!
