Question for thoes complaining about the "All or Nothing" export

[T-Hybrid]

I've seen a number of people comment that the "all or nothing" style in which LEGO exports means that they are essentially "stuck" with a bunch of songs they consider to be junk and filler.

My question for those people is: Why areyou even considering buying the disc in the first place?

I mean, seriously, it's quite confusing. Why would anybody spend $60 for a game in which they don't like a large portion of the setlist? Heck, why would you drop the $50 on the game in the first place?

LEGO isn't just another Track Pack, it's full game with it's own unique features and presentation. You're spending $50 on a whole new game, and have the option of doing a $10 export if you like the setlist enough to want it available to the full platform.

But it's no different than RB1, or RB2, or heck even The Beatles had it been available for export. Either the setlist is worth the price of admission or you don't like enough of the songs to warrant purchase.

Remember that woman in the late 90's that had seizures if she heard Mary Hart's (of Entertainment Tonight) voice?

I fly into a blind rage and start swinging a tire iron if I hear the Spin Doctors for even a nanosecond.

I think the answer is: we don't want them gumming up or setlist. Some people are OCD about odd things.

I want to question someone as to why the game cant just come with a one time key to unlock the ability to buy the key to unlock the ability to EXPORT, not download. All of this online key entering, then going on the xbox to redeem that key, then having to go into the game to complete is just crazy.

Current method:
1. Use 16 digit One-Time use key online. Receive code.
2. Use code to purchase key on XBL.
3. Use key to unlock ability to download Export.

My method:
1. Use 25 digit XBL One-Time use code. Receive unlock export key.
2. Use unlock key to unlock ability to BUY the export key.
3. Use export key to actually export, and not download.
Pros - No PC required. No internet (except for XBL) required.


Sincerely,
User that keeps getting an error that wont let me download the export.

I really wish the RB1 export came from Xbox live. Then nobody would have gotten use to being able to delete single songs (xbox users).

But whatever. Let them voice thier opinions. Personally I prefer being thrown a song in a setlist that I really dont like..........because sometimes I start to like it. Or I find a really great drum chart.

To me the problem isnt really the exporting as one large file. Its the downloading, non child/noob-adult friendliness, and the songs showing up as DLC in RB2.

Rockband DLC and Exportable games are like Pokemon to some... 'Gotta Catch Them All.'

Liking has nothing to do with having I guess

Thats exactly why I made the last statement.

I can understand why. The amount Microsoft charges for their 60 GB and 120 GB drives is criminal. I can get terabyte external hard drives for half the price MS charges.

Storage is at a minimum on the 20GB drive (10 already taken for backward compat) 1.2 GB is a pretty good chunk out of that.

I don't get why people would rather have the content ripped from the disc. For the RB1 export, what happens if you lose the song data? You have to go find a new disc and do it all over again. For LEGO, what happens if you lose the song data? You just go to your purchase history and redownload it. No disc needed.

So it comes down to "There are songs I don't want on my HDD.

Which means you aren't answering my original question...Why are you spending $50 on a setlist that contains songs you can't stand?

It doesn't mean that at all. I never said I didn't like the setlist. I am sure everyone out there has some songs they like more than others. Right now space is getting tight on my drive.

It sure would be nice if to download a new map pack that is 600 meg and I only have 400 meg free that I could delete some of the songs from LRB's 1.2GB download vs having to remove the whole thing.
