Rock Band

So there is a 360 title update coming out for Rock Band today, PS3 will follow and we'll let you know when we have an idea when it will drop. What's in it? A couple of things.

First of all - it updates RB1 so you will still be able to purchase DLC from the Rock Band store. Downloading this patch is required if you'd still like to do that.

Second - Lowers the threshold on gold stars making it easier/possible to gold star songs. This won't affect leaderboards as it only affects the threshold, not the score.

Third - Lately a few songs have had unhittable notes. This should be fixed now.

Lowered Gold Star limits. I can GS It Hurts and Should I Stay or Should I Go now. : D
 
The DLC for the week of Sept 9th will be a 3 pack from the metal band All That Remains. The track listing and pricing is below.


ALL THAT REMAINS 3 PACK - $2.99 (240 Microsoft Points)

THIS CALLING - $.99 (80 Microsoft Points)

CHIRON $.99 (80 Microsoft Points)

TWO WEEKS $.99 (80 Microsoft Points)


Two Weeks and Chiron are exclusive to Rock Band for one week before their new album Overcome is released on September 16th.

Each track will be available for a one month special offer of $.99 (80 Microsoft Points) per track or $2.99 (240 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for the three-pack.

These tracks will be up on the Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday, and the PlayStation Network Store on Thursday.

All tracks are masters.

And so ends the last DLC update in Rock Band 1's thread.

A free song lands today, but not just any song, a song made by Stephen Colbert. If you remember his "Love Ballad" 1980's tribute about a girl named "Charlene". You will get a kick out of this....

Wow, I didn't know Australia was missing out on Rock Band as well. Good for them though that they finally get to experience it.
 
It was like the two easiest songs on the setlist, Creep and um... is it Should I Stay or Should I Go? I don't remember the name of it.

Creep I had to skip one of the fast bass notes. I couldn't hit it, I have a HORRID time with that beat.
