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

Nice, grabbing all 4 of the old tracks. It feels good to throw money at HMX once again (though I'm sure Captain Morgan will be jealous!) Good get, excited.

You can satiate the Captain by playing Aerosmith in Rock Band with him. It never fails.

With the addition of "Dream On", RB now has my four year old son's four favorite non-Christmas songs (along with The Jackson Five's "ABC", Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Get Up, Stand Up", and Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light").

Your son sounds awesome. Might I ask, how did he come to love those four particular songs so much? They're quite varied.

Also - KILLER week, I'll be picking up the entire pack. I only like about 3 of the songs, but what's the cost of 1 beer to support HMX and have future tracks I may one day want to play?

This has been my mentality lately - buy extra songs to support HMX. Just yesterday, I spent about $40 on DLC sale tracks and some RB3 DLC that I initially decided weren't worth cherrypicking, but will add some wonderful variety to my library. I only have about 600 songs currently; so I could use more and HMX could use some money . I know it won't make a huge difference for them, but every little bit counts.

I can't wait to play the bass part in Sweet Emotion.

First time in a long time I won't be buying something from the sale using Bing Rewards. I'll actually have to buy some MS points. A most excellent week.

I'm not big on Aerosmith and I think this pack is fantastic.

Buying half of it for sure.

[metalkorn]

but WHEN will you pick them up? you're still boycotting DLC, right?

Oh yeah, I will pick them up the day the re-releases stop as I have said all along, so end of March i guess.

Awesome! This release by the way is 100% proof that GH exclusive bands have a 5 year period of exclusivity as previously rumored. The game came out in July of 07. So 5 years means July of 2012 the exclusivity ends. They license Aerosmith and it’s been confirmed DLC takes 6-7 months from contact for licensing to being released, so that means July of 2012 license is going to be released Jan of 2013. Perfect. I guess that means we can expect Metallica’s exclusivity to end in March of 2014, as Metallica was released march of 2009, and a Metallica pack to come out September of 2014, remember this post everyone, I’m calling it now

This post might be worth something if the Aerosmith game actually came out in 2007. Unfortunately for your story, it was released in North America on June 26, 2008.

Oh dear. Defenetly buying this DAY ONE. Great catch HMX. Great stuff, good songs, and the new ones are pretty cool as well, raw and old style sound. NOW ONTO PACK 2 WITH LOVE IN THE ELEVATOR and TOYS IN THE ATTIC!

Seriously speaking, this is one of the most amazing packs since I don't know when. Makes me believe even more in other exclusive artists coming in Rock Band. Great, great choices.

Oh, Aaron, can you please check the price for EU PS3 users? Usually, 6-packs are at € 8.99, can you confirm the price?

[tnevaker]

no, this is 100% proof that 1 of the bands had a 5-year exclusivity deal

it's actually not even proof of that.
