    I guess the idea is that if you were looking for pro upgrades, you'd be looking in the pro section of the music store, which cuts down a LOT of the clutter. Unfortunately the legacy upgrades will still be pushed to the back page. I wonder if maybe adding a separate section for legacy tracks with pro upgrades would have been a viable solution. There are still lots of legacy tracks I'd love to see pro upgrades for.

    yeah, i think that sorta worked in the early days, though it's not very intuitive for the more casual players who probably only check out the "new songs" section of the store from time to time. but now with over 200 pro guitar DLC tracks you've got a lot of scrolling to do to get to them. and with the rock band store constantly kicking you out (on PS3 at least) it's not easy to do. i managed to get them all, but it took a lot of time, patience and effort to make it to those last couple pages of songs without getting booted over and over.

    I made up a spreadsheet of all the legacy songs that are now on sale, and included a notation for all the ones that offer a Pro upgrade (information that I got from the Wikipedia page for Rock Band DLC). I've only got a few more of these to buy, so I just search for them by title now. But if you don't have a list already made? Yeah, it is a bit of a pain.

    It looks like you can also pull up a list of all Pro Guitar songs using the Song Finder on this website. That makes it easy to filter the results by Source / Decade / Genre.

    Well it's not like I spend hours in the store, I usually just know what to buy, and put them in background for speeding up things purpose.

    It happens to me too. It took forever to get the Nirvana upgrades because of this.

    Wow, I never got kicked even if I was browsing to find 20 specific songs through title. It wasn't long but still took a while to get them in background.

    The week that Train and Eddie Money both got pro upgrades, it took me an hour and a half to buy them. And they were on the first page of everything. The store just kept kicking me relentlessly.
