Official Discussion: DLC Week of 1/8 - 3 Blitz Tracks Being Released as Singles

[Mega-Tallica]

Sigh, why do people need to be so negative about this DLC? I'm a Wii user and I'm sure glad they're releasing the Blitz tracks for us.

Because it offers no variety to the a good amount of people who still bother to play Rock Band and who already have purchased Blitz. You would be upset too when DLC is only down to 3 songs a week and now you're getting repeats of songs you already have in your library 5 weeks in a row now if you include next week...

The streak is over. Long live the streak.

Technically, the streak ended when the Country Track Pack exclusives were released as DLC.

For someone like me who hasn't bought Blitz, this is good news! Buying all three!!!

See, if you are on the Xbox that makes no sense. It was just on sale for only 600 points! You could have had the entire song set for about the same cost of these 3 songs.

Because most of the serious players have long since given up on the Wii. However, I realize that not everyone is in a financial position to do that, and I'm glad that Wii users will be able to get these tracks.

I'm on the PS3... and I live in the province of Quebec, in Canada. So I have no idea what the word *sale* means....

[Plutarch]

Really? No new stuff at all? Ugh.

I didn't have any problem with Blitz songs being released alongside new content, but I don't have it in me to defend this. Very disappointed.

HMX has ALWAYS showed favortism towards the Wii. Those of us on X360 and PS3 just want a little love, too. We're like the red-headed step child in this family!

Not necessarily. They were, technically speaking, fresh pieces of DLC.

Here is where I draw the line, though. Henny Boy told us that the week of Blitz itself counted because the soundtrack was content and downloadable, and new at the time. Here is some content that is downloadable. New? No. It's been offered before, and I'l have no Dave, Derek or Aaron tell me otherwise.

Besides, 4000 songs is a far more impressive number than 250-odd weeks. Just use that in your press releases/brag posts, HMX.

This week of DLC is like the Battle of Helm's Deep.

Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Rock Band will ride out to meet the enemy, and Gandalf will appear over the ridge as the sun rises on the third day.

Just wait a couple more weeks. You'll see.
