Possible glitch in the Music Store RE: Mama Tried (RB3 version)

[Epsilon82]

I just wanted to make Harmonix (and users) aware that there appears to have been a problem with Mama Tried when I bought the song as a single from the Music Store (on PS3). Even though it showed up as Mama Tried (RB3 version) both in the Music Store AND within the game, it appears that the version of the song that I actually downloaded when purchasing is the regular RB2 version.

What kind of threw me was the fact that the Music Store listing showed it as "Purchased" instead of "In Library," and I suspect that "Purchased" might refer to disc exports instead of singles downloaded as DLC.

I went ahead and bought the Country Megapack, since it's a pretty nice deal anyway and I like playing Country in Rock Band a lot more than I generally liked listening to it, and as soon as I did that, when I went to play the song again, it showed Mama Tried (RB3 version) as an entirely new song, and the one that I had played 5 or 6 times before to try to get it to show up for the goal didn't have (RB3 version) at the end anymore even though I'm positive it did before.

So something appears to be goofed up there. Whether it's on Sony's end or Harmonix's I can't speculate, but be wary of buying Mama Tried as a single until this is resolved. If you go ahead and get the Country Megapack or Going Country Pack 7, you shouldn't have this issue.

EDIT: Just to make this shorter and clearer, the basic problem appears to be that when you buy the single of Mama Tried (RB3 version) on the PS3 Music Store, it actually gives you the RB2 version which doesn't count for the Country Jamboree goal, even though it shows as the RB3 version in the title.

Thanks for the tip, I was having a issue with this song / goal as well.

This needs to be talked about more, because it's a serious bug. I bought Mama Tried (RB3 version) in order to be able to complete the goal. At least, that's what I thought. Because if you download Mama Tried (RB3 Version) as a single, you just download the ordinary version which shouldn't be up for download to begin with, because it was exclusive to the Country Track Pack. And of course, the regular version won't work with the goal.

So please Harmonix, fix the goal or something, because I don't want to buy the Country Megapack or Country Pack 07 to be able to complete the goal (also, I don't have the funds to do so).

EDIT: This is on Xbox by the way, so it's definitely on HMX's end.

Same thing on the PS3, Yes it is a serious bug that needs to be addressed....

Welp, wish I had found this thread before purchasing this song today, darnit.

On the bright side, there's no keyboard part but at least it has harmonies when played in RB3! I would really be annoyed if I paid $2 for this and it was only solo vocals like all the $1 RB1/2 DLC.

You have to remember it's NOT a serious bug. Both versions are identical and compatible, it's just that one doesn't apply to a single Goal on Rock Band World.

Is it something that should be looked into? Sure. Is it a 'serious bug'? No.

You surely can understand a lot of people's frustration, though, if they go to buy this song specifically for the goal and it turns out that the version they're selling doesn't count, even though the description in the Store gives every indication that it should.
