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.

Erluti @ Nov 6th 2008 2:50PM

keep the tissues ready

Hafk @ Nov 6th 2008 3:01PM

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

Vol @ Nov 6th 2008 3:14PM

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

ScottG13 @ Nov 6th 2008 2:37PM

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.

Odog4ever @ Nov 6th 2008 3:34PM

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.

ScottG13 @ Nov 6th 2008 3:41PM

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.

Jigga @ Nov 6th 2008 4:29PM

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

OTAM @ Nov 6th 2008 6:08PM

I feel the same way as you.

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

Young_Nastyman @ Nov 7th 2008 8:17AM

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

defpoet1790 @ Nov 6th 2008 2:38PM

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

erik @ Nov 6th 2008 6:54PM

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

Eric @ Nov 6th 2008 2:39PM

Why i love Rock Band.

SilverFireshot @ Nov 6th 2008 2:52PM

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

Vegnagun bwf @ Nov 6th 2008 2:56PM

Now that's an album that I can enjoy.

[.sm0ke.] @ Nov 6th 2008 2:57PM

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

Angusailde @ Nov 6th 2008 3:00PM

Geez, I own 12 of those songs already!

AkmGamer @ Nov 6th 2008 3:03PM

How about chairs.

DZeroStar @ Nov 6th 2008 3:12PM

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...

Robert Vrabel @ Nov 6th 2008 3:14PM

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 =)

Viridium @ Nov 6th 2008 3:37PM

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

baby sea tuna @ Nov 6th 2008 3:17PM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Farseer (GDI) @ Nov 6th 2008 3:19PM

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...

T @ Nov 6th 2008 3:24PM

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.

Chase @ Nov 6th 2008 3:25PM

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

Sora @ Nov 6th 2008 6:21PM

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

Kizzle @ Nov 6th 2008 3:36PM

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

kip @ Nov 6th 2008 3:51PM

NEW WAY HOME!!

FTW!!

dov grol @ Nov 6th 2008 3:56PM

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

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Nov 6th 2008 5:16PM

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

Go die in a fire.

Sora @ Nov 6th 2008 6:22PM

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

busydoingnothing @ Nov 6th 2008 3:58PM

Rock Band singers: Prepare to cough up blood!

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

Logic Bus @ Nov 6th 2008 4:14PM

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

styrofoam @ Nov 6th 2008 4:19PM

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

deaftly @ Nov 6th 2008 5:08PM

Fucking Awesome.

VaultICEE @ Nov 6th 2008 9:10PM

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 :(

MrSpaceCowboy @ Nov 6th 2008 10:07PM

Love the album. And now it shall be mine!

josh @ Nov 9th 2008 11:41AM
