Guess I was getting spoiled with 3 or more DLC songs every week. Just getting one is kind of upsetting... but the price is right.. :)

Yeah ... cannot complain with that price point ... I even liked the 80 MSP of some of the other DLC that they have had!

Can't believe this game ain't out over here (UK) and still doesn't have an official release date

Portal is prolly one of the best games ever created and anyone who doesnt think so can burn while trying to get the cake!

Know what? They're probably taking their time for when they break out the awesome news soon.

Can we hear Band World Tour ONLINE and downloadble ablums, anyone?

"I wonder if that is not an early april fool's joke. i hope it's not but it seems like an odd download for rockband"

The song has been announced as coming to RB for a few months now, so tis no joke.

I for one, can't wait. Can't beat that price either!

this song should be cake to gold star... pardon the pun =P

Monday, March 31, 2008 @ 06:40:00 PM

Free is good, but this game seems more synthesisers than guitar. Then again, I guess so is Nine Inch Nails. Different song though thats for sure. Never played portal so maybe it fits that theme.

Monday, March 31, 2008 @ 08:04:32 PM

don't have rock band, but I might DL it just to have it already in my DL'd files queue that way if they make it cost something in the future I will have it, only a month after I start working will I have the money, so that wont be bad.

"i hate how everyone in Europe complains about not having rock band.. i cant wait to play this song though. it sounds extremely easy."

So, Kornstar, if they released rockband in Europe but not the US you would be cool with that ? I think you would kick up as much a fuss as everyone else is.

We only complain because we don't even have a release date for it. Even though it is supposed to be coming out. And we are going to keep on moaning cos Rock Band looks like such a fantastic game.

And i really want it so i can play this song.

Awesome, I've been waiting for this one. Even if it may end up being a bore-fest to play. I just love Portal too much, I can over look the simplicity.

The Nick be quiet, i could care less if they didnt release it in US its not gonna end the world. if you want it so bad go to the good old America. at least you guys are eventually gonna get it, along with 10 songs we dont have. so be grateful and patient and your time will come. :)

Monday, March 31, 2008 @ 11:53:52 PM

Ah, this song is amazing. A little too easy to 100% on guitar but its all fun. Here is a youtube vid of it for you UK fellas.

And for the Others, this is a good star path aside from the last one, use it a little beforehand.

"Sounds great! Maybe this will bring some attention to the wonderful game Portal that was overlooked by many."

Only reason it was overlooked by many were coz of all the dummies that bought Orange Box for TF2 an crap....I reamed my friend hardcore today for not even knowing about Portal when he owned Orange Box....but he's just stupid anyhow since he keeps buying Xbox games and not playing them instead of World of Borecraft.

Tuesday, April 01, 2008 @ 02:27:32 PM

why dont they make all songs free since the incredible high price of the rockband game ? I can buy 3 full price retail games for that price

Comment #83 by sloppyjoe811
Tuesday, April 01, 2008 @ 03:11:30 PM

Its not that high when you think about all you are getting for the price. I wish they would put some more free DLC like guitar hero 3.

Too bad Rock Band isn't out here in Europe yet.

I will give it a look, but I have downloaded 90% of what is out there for rock band, and enjoy most of it. But hey, you don't even have to pay for this one, so if I don't like it no harm no fowl.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
