    Keep in mind that if you do run the transfer, it will erase all data on the target drive. And when it's done, it will erase all data on the source drive.

    So make sure there is nothing on the new drive that either cannot be easily replaced, backed up, or isn't important enough to care about.

    I'm pretty sure you can still get one for free if you contact MS support. There might even be folks on this board willing to send you the kit if you ask around. It's up to you, but there are alternatives.

    Well I had to get a new xbox entirely since the video card burned out, so now I have an elite.

    If you bought a new xbox entirely you don't need any of this junk. Take off your old HD, and put it on the new xbox. Then you just have to go to the online form to transfer your licenses to allow you to redownload DLC. You don't need any transfer kit for saves, just put on your old HD.

    Transfer kits are largely for if you're upgrading to a bigger drive, not for blown up xboxes.

    License migration is a different issue. I know if I had an HDD full of saves I'd probably rather copy them to the new HDD than lose them entirely (but in that case, I'd just wait for the thumbdrive support). Plus, it's still better to have the full DLC on the new drive and just download the 'updated' license after migration than to download the whole thing a second time.

    Meh *shrug*, unless he's redone his licenses some other time in the last year it's a hell of a lot quicker than waiting for a transfer kit to be shipped. I had a few hundred songs and was good to go in 15 minutes.

    Edit: I guess the problem here is he went with an elite, where if he had gotten an arcade he'd already been done. So he both has to transfer licenses and saves, a console change and a HD upgrade. Unless he doesn't need to use the new elite HD for a while.

    Eh, it's fun for the "I'm singing the That 70s Show theme!" effect but the song isn't one of my favorites.

    Everytime El Goodo or September Gurls comes on my mp3 player I'm pretty much compelled to sing / air guitar / air drum along. Might as well score some points for it :P

    Yes you have. Did you watch That 70s Show? Ever?

    Granted, that's a cover, but it's still their music

    Here, let me help you rectify this sad state of affairs:

    Yeah, I've seen That '70s Show, so I guess I've heard a cover

    The only part of that theme song I recognized is where they throw in the bit from Cheap Trick's "Surrender" at the end

    Know what would be awesome on Rock Band? Failure's cover of Enjoy The Silence. You know a cover's good when the band whose song it is says it's better than the original.

    So I was looking through my Xbox's memory deleting a couple things, and as usual I flipped through my Rock Band saves just to marvel at all the DLC.

    What I noticed was that the RBN songs in the RB2 location all have the album cover as their icon, rather than the RB2 icon. Awesome little touch.

    Did we know this already? GWAR is coming to RBN. (Possibly NSFW).
    HMXHenry: So this is a tremendous treat for me, and hopefully for you guys as well, Gwar, I'm not sure if it's been announced yet, is coming to Rock Band Network. Did you have a hand in this at all?

    Oderus Urungus: Well, yeah, I'm in the band.

    HMXH: Oh, well, did you have a hand in bringing the song to Rock Band Network.

    OU: Actually, I had no idea it was even in there. But many times I sit there and I play that f***ing game, and I suck at it. And I sit there and think, "Maybe if I was doing a Gwar song, I wouldn't suck so bad. So yes, I understand we're doing "Gor-Gor" or something and it's gonna be f***ing awesome.

    HMXH: It's going to be tremendous. I'm very excited. Do you guys have any plans to release any more songs in Rock Band Network?

    OU: Well I think if we had it our way, it'd be an entire f***ing rock star thing all about Gwar. In fact, there would be no other songs allowed, except maybe Diamanda Galas. Have you got Diamanda Galas in Rock Band?

    HMXH: No, not yet. Hopefully soon, though. Fingers crossed.

    Maybe Green Jellö/ÿ isn't too far behind? (Via)

    When I was in Wal Mart last night I noticed they were selling the Wireless mic for 30$ now, marked with a red tag "used to be 49.99".

    Don't know if that price cut is permanent, so there you go.

    Still haven't seen any of the mythical 10$ drum sets though.

    The thing about using the link instead of the in-game store is that not everything that shows up on the website is technically 'live'. Some have been pulled and yet to reappear. And so far, HMX doesn't update in-game on the weekends (though we know they're in Boston now). If people buy this and it doesn't get approved, then they'll have to buy the new version that ends up available if they want to play it with anybody. That's why as long as I continue to post the new songs, I'll stop listing the website only ones.

    Anybody looking forward to Cheat on the Church in Rock Band Network like I was? Apparently, the charting group, MusicGameAuthors no longer exists.
    MGA is probably no more, The business side of things just never got rolling ... [...] I am not sure what happened to the bands but all of them we're un-contracted so they will probably be snapped up by other authoring groups very quickly.

    So, I was thinking of going back and actually getting the rest of the RB1 achievements I never got due to no one to go through World Tour with.

    BUT

    I don't remember how to calibrate RB1 any more, and putting in the settings from RB2 does not result in a smooth, buttery sync.

    EDIT: Using their pre-set LCD TV setttings, however, does! I am happily surprised.

    So I know we've all mentioned it off-hand in the past, but I just glanced at my Amazon page and saw that my Alphabeat CD would be arriving on Monday, which got me to thinking: How much has Rock Band affected what I listen to, really? As in, what bands have I become a fan of as a result of Rock Band, outside the domains of whatever songs they released in-game?

    So, I thought I'd go through my RB library and make a list of just such bands:
    Alphabeat
    Blondie
    Cross Canadian Ragweed
    Drive-By Truckers
    Freezepop (in conjunction with other Harmonix titles)
    Jimmy Buffett
    Juli
    Kaiser Chiefs
    Neko Case
    The New Pornographers
    Oasis
    Panic at the Disco
    Phoenix
    The Police
    The Pretenders
    Queens of the Stone Age
    Squeeze
    Vampire Weekend
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs
    Yellowcard

    Not quite as extensive as I thought, but still. Because of Rock Band, my music library is now 20 artists richer

    If I had RB, I'd think that I would never buy DLC from a band I'd never heard of. Perhaps I'd listen to Youtube videos of their stuff and THAT would broaden my musical horizons. It's all by the proxy of RB, but not RB per se.
