11/8 DLC Discussion - 21 Track Country Pack! Johnny Cash, Shania Twain, Keith Urban!

[Catch-22]

What if I emailed them my code on the back of my CTP2 booklet..I don't even want it free all I was asking for was a discount like when you buy the pro guitar upgrade.( which i find totally unfair as drums and keys don't have to pay extra for pro upgrades)

Please don't make me count the ways that this is a dumb argument.

no man of me is the newest one

Who's a sucker? We got the songs quite a bit ahead of anybody else, were able to export them to RB2, and had the advantage of additional Achievements or Trophies to hunt for that people won't get who download this pack.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. But don't act like HMX set out on a mission to trick us. Especially since the option was always there to wait for the songs to be made available as DLC.

Oh I feel like a sucker cuz i went out and spent money on something that is pretty much useless to me as 90% of my friends have upgraded to the rb3 version or never had the CTP2 and now the only time they will be played is by myself so yeah kinda feel like a fool and now there are saying if they do get codes it will only be for a few hundred people and not once did I say HMX tricked us I understand licensing and stuff and I don't even want a free code all i was suggesting was a discount like with pro upgrades. You have to add you CTP2 code in and then you get the songs for 1.00/track...well WTF is that. so yea SUCKER

I'd argue that those who bought it more recently were far more likely to have paid less than full price comparred to those who bought it closer to launch.

Yep, that is almost certainly true. I never would have paid full price for this collection, but I picked an export code at a discount. Someday I hope to pick up the disc itself, because I love trophies! I suppose I could just rent it ...

Trophy name: "Worked All Week"
Score 100% notes hit with any instrument in 'Sideways' ... on the weekend.

It is a shame, and yes I would fully support a cheaper upgrade path from legacy to RB3 versions but it is a little complicated for HMX to get this done so we have this problem. HMXhenry is trying to be helpful, so just add your name onto the list with the rest of us who purchased CTP2 and keep those pinkies crossed.

Codes likely aren't going to go out until they're certain they've got a good system for distributing them. I'd rather they took their time then just start pumping codes out.

...Yes, even if it means I never get one.

HMXhenry already said it comes down to the honor system. I doubt he has the time or resources to indepth check everyone. He can start with the previous thread and then the posts in this thread before it was known about the possible DLC codes. Since those who posted then will likely be the ones who purchased it to start with.

Then I guess he could look at the later posters who gave pic links, but I guess it all comes down to time which he probably does not have.

Last time on, "As the DLC Turns"...

Vocal minority who bought CTP2: This mades me sad.

HMX: Hey we're trying to get you some free stuff to make you feel better!

Other people who didn't speak up: Free stuff!!! Give me plz!~

Yep... see, I don't think it would be worth the extra $20 to upgrade... but if HMX is nice enough to spot me the $20 I would much rather have the RB3 versions with the keys... as I said before, it seems that harmonies are most important to those I play with and I already got those with the export. So, getting a code would just be a nice little unexpected bonus, plus, I like jumping on bandwagons when they go by.

That's what I was thinking too.

A LOT more people became outraged about this once HMX mentioned free stuff.

See, what I'm cynically pointing out is that none of these people who are suddenly so eager to prove that they own the pack and think they deserve a free upgrade were willing to pitch in when half of the forum was shouting the rest of us down for daring to be upset about the situation.

But now that they might get something for free, of COURSE they're interested. I'm not sure what word I would use to describe it, but I'm pretty sure that any word I attempted to use would get me in trouble.

For me, it's enough to know that Harmonix has apologized and will (hopefully) not make such a blunder in the future.

Where do we get said code from? How do we request it?

[Mileycyrussoulja]

Well, after seeing some of the charts on YouTube, I must say the keys in most of these songs are pretty damn decent, especially in Ride and Summer Nights. I'm still not buying them, but possibly Ring of Fire, which I haven't seen the charts for yet.

Also, Ride has an excellent guitar chart, and I'm glad that got a pro upgrade.
