Should exported LRB songs appear as LRB or DLC?

"Lego rock band songs aren't "normal" dlc"

DLC is DLC. There is nothing technical about it.

I've never seen it in my playstation store, that's weird... It can't be classified as a downloadable content because all you need to have it is not just one of the rock band games and internet.

But I guess you've found your super-constructive argument no one could ever deny : "IT GOES THROUGH INTERNET !!!"

As for the DLC / not DLC argument - are you people crazy? Just because you physically downloaded it doesn't mean that makes it DLC.

Well, yes, it really does. DLC stands for DownLoadable Content (or DownLoaded Content, depending on who you ask). By its very definition, the Lego song pack is DownLoaded Content because you downloaded it.

Well, the rock band 2 songs are on-disc songs, they have their own icon.
The rock band 1 songs are on-disc songs, they have their own icon.
The lego rock band songs are on-disc songs, they should also have their own icon.

Lego rock band songs aren't "normal" dlc, unless you are able to download it without a lego rock band export code found in a lego rock band copy ?

The AC/DC live pack of songs are on-disc songs and are not available through the online stores. They don't have their own icon either. They are also listed as DLC because they too were downloaded songs.

The "they are DLC so should be labelled as such because they were downloaded" is pedantry. Who cares what the method of obtaining those songs was? Only those that like to split hairs on technicalities.

Logically, sorting by stars shouldn't require you to play the all songs again, but technically the game has no way of knowing the difficulty you played on. Logic is how it should be, but technicalities are more in line with what's actually possible.

You're confusing two technical issues. He's talking about "technical" in term of semantics, while you are are referencing technical in terms of actual technology. Not that I agree with him, but he wasn't touching on the actual technical issues but only semantic issues.

Indeed, though, the reason this won't happen is because the software engine can't do it without a patch and its clearly not a big enough issue to justify the software development expense. The current situation may not be ideal, but it is sufficient.

Actually the RB2 songs are the only ones "on-disc". The RB1 songs are save files ripped DIRECTLY from the disc. Something LEGO is not.

I've never seen it in my playstation store, that's weird...

You also haven't seen the Country and Metal Track Packs, AC/DC, or the RB-20 pack.

Regardless, this argument is so friggin' petty that it's not even funny. The only people bothered by this are the same people who already know the songs came from LEGO anyway.

My issue with this is not so much knowing where the songs came from, but being able to quickly group them together and access them. I know where the songs came from and I don't need the game to tell me. It's all about correctly sorting the song library. These songs were packaged together and ought to be able to be displayed together. To bypass the now asinine "is DLC / is not DLC" argument as best I can, there just needs to be a way to group these songs together in Rock Band 2.

This, obviously, was something HMX cared to allow us to do by providing a "Location" sorting option in the first place. Songs originating from different locations were meant to be grouped together. This is something we've already become accustomed to not out of something imagined, but by something already present in Rock Band 2. Logically, it makes sense to handle it the same way previous Rock Band games have been handled.

I don't understand the perception of people caring about the issue as silly or wanting something they shouldn't have come to expect. No one is acting like it's the end of the world. I don't understand some people's harsh reaction toward anyone wanting this corrected. No one is really needing told "you shouldn't care" or "get over it".

Well, the poll results pretty much reaffirms my belief that people are far too needy.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

And your post count reaffirms my belief that some people have nothing better to do than to debate issues that they don't even care about.

If you look at who is saying "you're all idiots because you don't think this is DLC," it's all the people with high post counts. This isn't debate class: it's bringing to light a bug that many of us are requesting be patched.

No, we are debating the neccessity of such a feature using the counter-argument that we don't give a crap about where it goes. (Which appears to be an ever growing amount of people).

1) If you're going to open a discussion on a forum, be ready to hear from people you may not agree with. This isn't your blog, it's a forum. If you don't want to hear anybody disagree with whatever your views are, I strongly recommend that next time you keep them to yourself.

2) Post counts have nothing to do with this. At all. If you can't assemble a decent argument without attacking the person you disagree with, perhaps you should reconsider the strength of your convictions.

3) This is not a bug. There is nothing that is malfunctioning or otherwise preventing these songs from working once downloaded. At all. At worst, it's an inconvience.
