Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[Sayburr]

Harmonix: $15! That is a great price-point, one that I find unexpected for "more than 20 songs" and a cool looking arcade game. So, in about a month, I am looking forward to jamming with this game. Thanks.

The leak is most likely correct now as We Are Young was announced. Interesting that it's 1200 MSP rather than 1600 MSP and August 29th release is annoying because I have to wait 7 weeks to play it. Did any members of fun participate in American Idol as the livestream hinted at more American Idol songs next week?

I'm cool with the price, dissappointed at the release date (I hardly consider the last days of august to be summer).

And I think we can say now that the leaked list is, indeed, legit. I'd be quite surprised if the last six songs are something else (and SERIOUSLY dissappointed if Spoonman wasn't along them, I've been wanting it back ever since we lost it).

Don't think so, but Steven Tyler was a judge, so maybe we'll get Aerosmith... Wishful thinking it's most likely Kelly Clarkson...

Yeah, Summer is not over until September 22nd?

Unless the grumps would've bought 7 and a half songs in the set at normal price, they're still gonna be grumps because of the remaining songs they wouldn't have bought taking up space on their hard drives.

I'll have to add myself to the grump column. I figure out of the songs announced to date I would probably have bought at most 9 as DLC, several of which without great enthusiasm. To say I wouldn't have bought the other announced songs would be an understatement.

It goes almost without saying though that I'll still end up buying it, because it will be the only way to get the songs I do want in RB3. Arcade games aren't usually my thing, but I'll give Blitz itself a brief go as well.

When It's Not Over was played on Blitz (bonus stream time after main choices of TTFAF and Nights On Broadway).

Yeah, with the songs announced, I would have bought about nine of them... but the other songs are not that bad and I am no upset that they will be part of the overall setlist of, in my case, 975 songs playable in Blitz.
