Unofficial "We Refuse to Spend $3 On One Song" Thread

[solidsnakejt]

same for me, unless it is epic and long i wont buy any 3$ songs

i would buy stairway to heaven, november rain or songs like that though....but blondie? seriously?

[JPSChampagne]

Love Blondie. Not spending three dollars on a song. No matter who's it from.

[GeneralGilliam]

HMX made it clear that songs could range from Free to $3.

bzzzzzz, wrong answer! Songs cannot be free, $1 is the minimum a band can charge. Thanks for comin' on the show, we'll be seein' ya now!

I'd happily pay $3 for a 7-10 minute track (and longer, if ever possible)

I totally agree with this. I hope the lack of purchases will drive home the message that no one wants to spend 3 dollars on a single song.

[QUOTE=Thom1234;3552539]In my eyes, no length under 10 minutes could possibly justify charging 3$. I wouldn't even pay $3 for Led Zep, and, while many say they would, I'm sure they wouldn't if the situation actually became reality.


And you would be DEAD wrong....

If I wasn't busy with Final Fantasy XIII I would have already bought this song.

This is like anything else in the world, someone sets a price and you decide if the price asked is worth it to you. To me it is one of my favorite songs so well worth the three dollars, if you think about what you waste a buck on in day to day life it's kind of silly to get all militant over something like this.

Um, you realize that I'm referring to all of RB right? You know, back in that original announcement about DLC when Rock Band was first announced.

And from what we've seen, Rock Band DLC can definately be free. Or else somehow I stole a copy of "Still Alive" from MS's servers.

[T-Hybrid]

Yeah, it should be:

Unsigned Band 1-6 minutes: $1
Unsigned Band 7+ minutes: $2
Signed Band 1-6 minutes: $2
Signed Band 7+ minutes: $3
Unsigned or Signed 15+ minutes: $3

This discussion is reaching embarassingly new lows...

[Troodon]

Well I'd rather pay $2 for a song than $3 for a song, obviously. But if it's a good enough song, and paying $3 is the only way I can possibly get it, that doesn't put it out of consideration for me. But it would have to be a pretty good one. "Atomic" doesn't qualify for me. (To be honest I doubt I'd pay $2 for it, but maybe that's just me.)

A "fair" price is one that both the buyer and seller think is reasonable. So is $3 too high? Depends on what's being sold for $3. If the only way I could ever get a Led Zeppelin song is to pay $3 for it I can't honestly say I wouldn't consider it. But the threshold of quality goes up when the price does; I won't pay 50% more for something that isn't in my mind at least 50% better.

This is about songs on the RBN, not all RB. When RB was announced and they announced prices and stuff, the idea of the RBN hadn't even been thought of yet.

Also, while Thom is acting like a self-righteous *****, some of his views are right.
