Rock Band Blitz sorting in RB3

[billybobjoe1881]

In RB2 the Lego songs were all sorted as DLC because they came out late in the RB2 lifetime and it wasn't worth the time to make a patch. Is Blitz going to have the same problem in RB3 (being sorted under DLC not Blitz) or is HMX going to patch RB3 to make it work.

Blitz will be sorted as DLC.
No they will not patch it.
And Im oretty sure Lego was always sorted as Lego unless they patched it beforeI bought the game.

In RB2 the lego songs were sorted as DLC. In RB3 they got sorted by Lego.

Blitz songs are actually RB3 DLC format. It was the easiest way to support instant playability in both games. As a result the songs will sort as DLC in RB3.

In Blitz they appear under their own heading, separate from DLC.

Well that poses a question as to whether the existing DLC sorts like it does in RB3. e.g. do Lego Rockband and Greenday Rockband show up under their own headings or is it all listed as "DLC"?

If/when RB4 comes out, will Blitz get it's own sorting section?

They show up under their own headings.

EDIT: Oh, you meant in Blitz, not in RB3. Nevermind...

This here is what I figured. I'm also guessing that when a player buys Blitz and starts the download, 2 items will be DLed: The Blitz game, and a RB3 track pack.

I've sometimes wondered if Rock Band 3 uses a list-lookup function, a source tag on the data object, or a combination of both to determine a song's source. If a Rock Band 4 is ever produced, a list-lookup might be added to list Blitz as a song source.

I wish Rock Band: Blitz would be sorted into it's own category, just as I wish the Track Pack discs (if downloaded in their entirety) and the Rock Band 2 20-Pack were in their own groups.

I always sort my library by "Date Acquired" (which is somewhat broken on 360 anyway), and "Previously Acquired" is always miserable to wade through.

Hopefully, if Rock Band 3 is ever patched again for any reason (adding in the other two removed RB1 songs, fixing various bugs, reducing the volume of menu sound effects, making way for a Beatles export (wishful thinking), etc.) they'll add in a Blitz tag.

Eh, that was predictable.

That's why we need a way to create our own sorting in RB3. I have a lot of friends that wants to play old GHIII or GHII songs, and it's not exactly easy to show them everything.

Whatever, i'm goin' off topic.
