Harmonix explains Rock Band 3 legacy track upgrades, pricing

Nov 8th 2010 10:00PM (Joystiq)
@libregkd But when it costs the same as the original DLC, it's NOT an upgrade. You're just buying the song again.

When Apple introduced iTunes Plus, you could pay 30 cents and download the songs again with no DRM and a higher bitrate. With Singstar, when songs get dance and guitar upgrades, you pay a small fee and add those features to that song.

In Rock Band, when you upgrade a song, you might as well have never bought it in the first place because there's no discount or incentive to buy old songs or reward those who already gave you money. It's appearing in the song list alongside the old version with no way to delete or hide it. Forever more you have two versions of the song. You DIDN'T upgrade ANYTHING.

If you guys buy the "upgrades" you are part of the problem. There is no upgrades, just price-rape.

4 out of 5 doesn't seem to match up with the words in the review.

NuCaptcha offers video-based CAPTCHA prompts, easier for humans

It's FLASH video, meaning it could be rendered in a variety of ways. It's not a video stream.

But this does nothing to fix the problem. Captcha farms in India defeat the whole "verify human" part when you pay someone pennies an hour to do it for you.

That's inexcusable.

Sega dusts off Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns for Wii

Repeating myself here. It's NOT a light-gun game. It was all joystick based, like Star Wars Arcade Trilogy.

This is NOT a light gun game. The gun tips are solid black. It's all joystick-driven. If you need proof, look up the manual and calibration method for the game. Or just wave your hand in front of the screen while someone plays.

Same goes for the Terminator 2 Arcade game (Not home versions) and Silent Scope (Not Xbox version). The arcade versions are JOYSTICK-driven, not true light guns. You're just aiming an oversized joystick.
