I'm gonna cry if somehow ALL the tracks I've downloaded are published on physical media and bit-by-bit cheaper than what I originally purchased them for.

keep the tissues ready

Of course, you don't get choice with Track Packs.

It's doesn't matter. This game could easily cost you more than $400 over its life.

That's a homerun. Harmonix has started bringing out the big guns after the GH:WT release. I'm very thankful after a summer of crappy metal to suffer through.

Personally I wish Harmonix would go back to releasing a bunch metal tracks. I've been spending so many points on DLC since RB2 dropped it's getting ridiculous!
Good problem to have I suppose. It would be nice to go a couple of weeks and not feel like I was missing something though.

As a marketer, I'd LOVE to see the sales charts on these songs. What are the best sellers? What tanked? What surprised? What had long legs? You know Weezer and Oasis sell to this day when people are first scrolling through the available DLC on their brand new RB2 purchase.

I would like to see the stats too. Kinda like what Valve does with the Steam stats, that would be interesting.

I feel the same way as you.

Except I love metal and have to suffer through crappy 90's alternative.

You know what really sucks? Liking both metal AND 90's alternative...MY WALLET NEEDS A BREAK!!!!

very cool to hear! looks like i have to run out and get another PSN card.

whats a psn card is that like the broken version of xbox live?

Why i love Rock Band.

Well, I'm glad I forgot to get Vigilante 8 yesterday. Now I have the points for this.

Now that's an album that I can enjoy.

Activision needs to announce more DLC plans. For now, I really don't see Guitar Hero gaining any ground on Rock Band at all.

Geez, I own 12 of those songs already!

How about chairs.

Freakin' Sweet!

I'm a big fan of the Fighters of the Foo, and The Color and the Shape is on my short list of most awesome albums EVAR. Waaaay back when they first announced full album downloads for Rock Band, I had my fingers crossed for this one to make the list.

I will have to spend a week just replaying this album straight through with each different instrument!

This is especially pleasing after the "Not Quite Nevermind" album released earlier...

Holy crap... that is one of my all time favorite CDs and definitely my all time favorite Foo Fighters CD. I can't wait to play those... I don't sing very often but this CD will open the door to a lot of new songs to sing =)

This is easily the Foos BEST album, and contains what I consider (for whatever reason) their finest song ever - Hey, Johnny Park!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

This has to be one of the best albums to come out of the 90s. I really don't have the time to play this right now, but that's not going to stop me from doing so...

I'm geting that album on Day 1. This rocks.

As far as the Pack, I've only got 5 of those songs currently, and there are a few more I've been thinking about getting.

But even if I didn't have any of them, there are some on that pack I know I don't want (Devo for example) that would lead me to pass on it.

Maybe if I end up with a rental or cheap copy I'll go for it.

There goes my hero... Watch him as he goes.

There goes my hero...He's ordinary!!!

Not a huge Foo Fighters fan, but I'll admit this is a pretty awesome release.

NEW WAY HOME!!

FTW!!

foo fighters pack? all i can think is...

THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST THE BOST

You are CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER.

Go die in a fire.

This place is turning into 4chan more and more every day, I swear...

Rock Band singers: Prepare to cough up blood!

I can't fucking wait. Such a great album.

Got my code for the 20 free songs just now ...

Freaky- Just as I was reading that users were getting their codes, an email popped into my gmail account.

Fucking Awesome.

Fuck-freaking-Yes.

This is perhaps my favorite album from the 90s along with Nevermind and Pinkerton. I only wish I could stay home all day Tuesday and play it :(

Love the album. And now it shall be mine!

Easily THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST album theyve made, in my opinion.

Jostiq, where are the embedded videos?
