Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 1/29 - Aerosmith 6 Pack! Plus 2 Pro Guitar Upgrades!

If the Facebook winners have all been notified then yep. Big shocker. I didn't win, again.

There were only 20 winners so there wasn't a high chance of winning anyway.

Any PS3 codes coming from HMX today Hank?

No PS3 codes to dole out today, but we'll have them tomorrow. The team is still getting settled from an office move, but we should have time to dish out codes tomorrow afternoon.

Just for everyone's sake -- will future Wii releases have to be pushed back as well?

All future Wii releases should be on time. To my understanding the reason for the delay is that Nintendo can't accept DLC submissions out of order, so because we had already submitted content through February, we had to live with a later release for this pack. It's a bit of an awkward system to work with, but we got these tracks late in the process and turned them around very quickly during the holiday, so there was an element of timing that added another wrinkle to things.

As per my last post 15 minutes ago, neither Facebook nor Twitter winners have been contacted yet and should hopefully get notice by the end of the day.

I still expect to win ... it's not "the end of the day" yet! But I'll be buying the pack (+ pro upgrades, plus that RBN track by Giraffes? Giraffes!) as soon as I get home. If I get notified after that, I'll pass on my code.

All good to know. I've been squatting on https://twitter.com/rockband for something like six hours. Nice to know I can afford to make a run to the store And good for the Wii'ers.

Actually that's not what you said, but what I thought you said wasn't what you said either. Meh, I'm still not expecting anything. Which is why I wish the codes were going out today -- I really want to play this pack, but I sure don't want to buy it and then win it.

How are you going to do it?

Hmm

does that mean that March 12 is an open date on the DLC schedule?

It means they hadn't put in the DLC for March 12th though to Nintendo yet. Anything else you read into it is your own issue.

I wish I'd have known about the surprise Wii delay so I wouldn't have prepared for nothing.

[brookfieldworldorder]

Well, crap. No Aerosmith for another six weeks.

How are you going to do it?

Don't know yet. May just do it the same way we handled the 360 giveaway yesterday and dole a few out on Twitter then do the rest in the livestream chat. Twitter has a lot more bots and if we can hang out in the chat and have some fun then that might be the best solution.

No, that just means that at that time we hadn't submitted content for 3/12. We traditionally only submit content 4-6 weeks in advance, so in mid December it's not at all uncommon for us to have content submitted through the end of February.
