I remembered the song I was thinking about. It was Walk Away (Alternate Studio Take) by James Gang

quovadis13

Gold starred the whole Blitz setlist. Now to work on the DLC achievements. Also, I'm gonna need to download a song from the 50's

Dehumanized

Oh Jesus the announcement was a 50% off sale on 1100 dlc songs. My wallet is crying!

Edit: forum post with announcement and PDF of all the sales

One Thousand Cables

Jesus, that's a lot of savings. If this weren't Borderlands 2 Week I'd go in on this sale real hard.

Dehumanized

And here's a direct PDF link.

I think I'll just grab around $50 of points and figure out what all I want to buy. Happy fucking 5th anniversary, Rock Band!

sir_pinch-a-loaf

Shame I've pretty much bought everything I have any interest in playing already.

Dehumanized

I've got around 400-500 songs; I shouldn't have much trouble picking things out. Already eyeing Axis: Bold As Love and Tragic Kingdom.

quovadis13

Ohhhhhhhhh man, DLC sale. Gotta go over that list and stock up. Stopping for a points card on the way home

Skull2185

Hot damn! Just in time for RB3 to arrive at my house, there's a massive sale!

FyreWulff

Time for me to full-complete Grateful Dead

Hardtarget

that is not the RB3 songs importing into Blitz news that I wanted!

Johnny Cash would be the easiest to pick up for the decades achievement.

DarkPrimus

Honestly all the albums I have cherry-picked from, the savings make it only cost as much as buying all the remaining singles at their regular individual price. Which if I felt like doing I would have gotten the pack in the first place.

I'll have to squint and look at the singles on sale, though. Fyre, they have "Cream and Bastards Rise" for $.99, you should get it for the awesome-sounding bass line. But of course, no Johnny Cash.

Dehumanized

Yeah, if anyone has some overlooked cheap gems to point out, then please do.

Bartholamue

Does that sale include Pro charts? I've been wanting more pro charts, but at a dollar per song, it's not that easy to get them all.

Arikado

Considering it is pre RB3 dlc.. gonna guess no.

FyreWulff

Content items can only go down to a dollar in price methinks. Only gamerpics/avatar items can be 40msp

quovadis13

Harmonix just announced in their live stream that there will be a goal for Blitz tomorrow (get 30 stars) and if you complete it, you will get 160 Microsoft points. Link your Facebook accounts for free points!

Santa Claustrophobia

So it's a big sale on DLC and I can't access my computer with my Wanted list. That,s just perfect.

Quoting this, as living proof that Santa can never be happy.

Maximum

Who's the dumb guy that bought a digital copy of RB3 on Saturday because he assumed he could play those songs in Blitz?



<-this guy

HappylilElf

I'll have to go through the pdf at work to see if there's anything that jumps out but yeah a lot of what I saw glancing at it that I'd want I already have :P

mxmarks

Has the sale started yet? I just went to buy "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains, and its 160 points, and since it's 99 cents I figured it would be 80...

Did you try from the dashboard/website or through RB3/RBB/RBMS?

quovadis13

Harmonix is live streaming themselves reading every song they are putting on sale today.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like its over

Endaro

Whoops I just spent 20$ on songs last weekend to catch up on old songs I always wanted to get. I could have gotten twice as many!

Any idea when this sale ends? I don't see it in the announcement.

Did this come and go already? I can't find the goal in RBW.

I found it with no problem on my Facebook. They only have a very limited number of codes to give out (2000 on Xbox, 500 on PS3), so I don't know if they limited it to the first ones to sign up for it, or the first ones to complete it. I accepted the challenge earlier today and just completed it right now and got a code that worked even though it was supposedly for America only.

Dehumanized

edit: Found it. Looks like I needed to unlock more badges to even see it.

Skull2185

Oh how ive missed the sore fingers, and vision thing where it looks like everthing's melting because you played like... 4 continuous hours of Rock Band.

Tried to jump right into expert guitar, but after a 2 year hiatus, my skills have atrophied, I couldnt wrap my head around all the buttons i needed to press at once :rotate:

Little bummed that my first two band name ideas were too long.

The Dr. Skullnumbers Digital Prostate Exam Experience

And

Shepard Commander and the Paragons

Settled on Krogan Headbutt.

DarkPrimus

I've been rolling with the same band name since RB1.

The Fake Ghostbusters.

Bartholamue

I've been rolling with the same one as well. Penny Death.

Dehumanized

About half of the sales aren't yet active, because apparently discounting ~1400 pieces of content is hard, but here's what all I'm going to pick up:

Stone Temple Pilots Pack 01
Alice In Chains - "Would?"
Alice In Chains - "We Die Young"

Got another couple hundred MSP leftover, plus the 160 from the challenge.

Hardtarget

sucks that queen songs are on sale but no queen packs are

FyreWulff

In theory, the first Queen pack should be discounted since it's pre-RB3, but that isn't the newer ones with keys support.

However the Enhanced versions for RB3 don't have Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

edit: also the Country Classics goal dishes out 5,000 coins for 4 songs. Noice
