Official Discussion: DLC Week of 1/15 - Rick Springfield 3 Pack!

[hmxhenry]

There was a time I would skim these release threads and just read your posts. Now I dread finding your posts because they seem to always bring bad news.

Well that's no good! On the positive side: this marks the 270th week of consecutive RB releases, we've crested 4,000 songs in the total library, a dedicated RBN community continues to put out songs every week, we continue to make improvements to our servers and stores 5+ years into the franchise, and we have some great stuff coming up with new DLC releases every week.

Boo to the 20% (ish) price hike for single track DLC (even higher for 3 song track packs) for PS3 Europe.

To give some additional context, the cost of PS3 singles in the UK has changed from £0.99 to £1.19 (with similar changes in pack pricing as well, with 3 packs changing from £2.49 to £3.19). SCEE handles their own pricing conversions, and we don't have any control over how SCEE rates the pound against the Euro. It is our understanding that this should only affect content released from this point on, not the extensive RB back catalog.

I do not believe it got much if any radio play unless it was an album rock station and it never charted. He performed it extensively in his live shows and it first appeared on All Night Long, his live album from 1978. It was released as a B side single and then later a studio version was released as a B side single in 1979 (b-side of his version of "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay").

speaking of otis redding, we got a cover of a cover of hard to handle. how deep does the rabbit hole go?

To further clarify, none of the Blitz artists have additional content on the schedule beyond the singles yet to be released.

sad that we won't be getting any more living colour (not that i really expected any) or quiet riot. but since i didn't care for most of the artists on blitz, i consider this mostly good news.

I guess on the bright side, this means 25 less bands competing against me getting another Alice in Chains pack.

This. Its now 3 YEARS since the last AIC pack. On topic, "Don't Talk To Strangers" gets cranked up every time I hear it on the radio. (which isn't too often) and is a pleasant surprise to get as DLC. Back in the day Rick Springfield was a poor man's David Cassidy. Pop/Rock star who also appeared on General Hospital. The ladies LOVED him....

Ugh! No Collective Soul pack?!? Major disappointment. The sad thing is that I actually like these songs, but I am more disappointed that this means I likely will never see more CS on Rock Band.

Oh, yeah! I've been wanting either a six pack, or releasing a full album. I'll take Dosage or Youth please!

Eh week, ill pass for now, I like Jessies Girl, but I already have it. I cannot wait until Blitz is all released, then we can go back to weekly DLC, that is if it doesnt end after March...

Oh and im not sure if this is allowed anymore, but i found a code for 5 RHCP songs in my RB3 case and I already have them, so first one gets it i guess haha

I wouldn't hold your breath. The way things are going, the full release of Blitz may mark the end of an era. If they hadn't planned that already, the poor sales over the next couple of months will solidify that fate.
