Out of Wii points again? Already?? Damn - I've got a lot of uncashed in wins. :( I hope they get them back quicker this time.
I have 2000 Wii points on my console. I can gift you games in trade for RB tracks for the 360.
Since 1 win = 200 Wii points = 1 360 track, I'll give you the same deal. This goes for anyone. Please post in the thread instead of PMing me (and I'll in turn PM YOU) so I don't get a flood of PMs once someone calls dibs.

I entered and played 5 caps today. Thankfully, they were all winners. Now, I just need them to update their DLC list.
I'm new to this promotion, so I have a question for those playing (and mostly winning) with multiple caps in the same day. Do you guys play them all in one go using the play again button, or do you wait an certain interval (mins?, hrs?) of time between playing each cap?
Mirpkered
08-14-2009, 12:58 PM
I've been going random times as it seems for me it never makes a difference. I play 2 caps and if both lose I stop, but if the first or second is a win, I play until I get another loss. This seems to be a decent strategy for me instead of entering a static amount of caps at a time.

You can't gift ms points but with the axe promotion and that ford promotion I figure someone has some spare points to trade.

I went 3/3 at about 6am the other morning and i waited about 20 seconds between each play.

Hopefully, the tweets (I feel dirty saying that) and forum posts mean we actually do get an update. Even if we just get one more update, all will be forgiven if the new songs from the past month or so are thrown up.
I lost for the first time at my "magic" hour yesterday, which puts me at 43/45 overall.

I've been having bad luck as well. Since I don't have a supply of free caps from anywhere, I bit the bullet and went the Ebay route. Picked up 22 tracks for $16. Not bad considering it's no work for me and doesn't require purchasing the soda :)
I'm eager to see what additional songs the update will bring. I've been going over the list with my wife to see what we'd like to add to the collection. :)

Isn't it a little early to be cashing out? There's still a month left in the promotion and, even though it's been ages since we've seen the track list updated, I'd like to think that the response on Twitter and on the Rock Band forums might help spur Pepsi and Harmonix to put more songs up.
Right now, I'm holding onto the codes I have in case something new shows up. If that doesn't happen, then I'll just use them all at the end of the promotion to finish up a few track packs, and pick whatever I'm interested in that is in the list.

I use up all my song tokens right away. I don't want there to be a fiasco where the website shuts down early and I'm screwed out of my songs. Holding on to any type of unused store credit is always risky.

im hoping theres something good in a update, but i bought most of the recent songs using live points before i found out it would update again. If they get the new pearl jam, up ill be happy but not really hoping for much more.

I agree. It's getting harder and harder in my area to find caps.
Also I noticed I went from a 75% or more chance of getting a song to a 25% chance of getting one. They really dropped the chance to win.

I have no idea why you people think they will update. Harmoix claimed at the beginning that the list would not be added to (a lie, I know, but still). They added the Green Day songs so they could be part of the video contest. The others: eh, I don't know. They, however, have not done an update (to my knowledge, at least) since the video contest ended, which I believe was July 31st, nor do I expect them too. They should, however, add more Wii points, being as that is a legitimate win. The contest is in the wind-down phase. I seriously doubt they would bother adding any at this point.

Just like the soda...
Back on track though, I seem to have gone from terrible luck to a bit of a hot streak. Not only that, but employees at two stores I frequent are saving me caps, and one of those stores just restocked cherry pepsi and thank the FSM, they have yellow caps on them.
Now that I've got enough points to get the rest of the DLC for the FF4 sequel, I'm contepmplating what to get next - probably gonna try to get the other 3 Strong Bad Games, then move on to Bust a Move.

I don't think they added Green Day just for the video contest; the other updates they've had to the track list added recently released songs too. Between the Twitter and the Rock Band forums, it sounds like there's been a lack of communication between Pepsi and Harmonix. Whether or not that translates to more songs is anyone's guess.
As for Wii points...given that there's a month left there will probably be more added, but I don't think they'll make it to the end of the promotion.

Me too. I think that unless Pepsi updates the list of songs we can download (to a point where I would need to try and play for more tokens), then I'm just going to enter all my codes for that bundle. I have ~20 unredeemed tokens left, and 10 codes just sitting in my account.
I'm only a little worried about the bundle being in the weekly drawing. That means only one bundle per week, right? And there's only two weeks left of this promotion..

If you go to the learn more tab, it says that they are giving out 200 a week.
*Note: 400 "The Beatles: Rock Band" bundles will be given away. The breakdown for each platform will be as follows: Xbox - 65, Wii - 87, and PS3 - 48 each week.

The Beatles guitars look pretty nice. Wonder if the drum set will be better than the one that releases with Band Hero.
Does anyone else ever have the problem where yo click the downloadable track game, the page stalls, then it loads again saying "No points available for instant win"? I've had this happen at least four times now, and its in essence just stealing my initial code...

This has happened to me around 3 a.m. eastern/a little bit after. It seems to me this is when it resets. One time I lost and the other 2 times it happened I actually had 2 redeem songs in my history. So click on "Your Account" and see if you actually won or lost.

AGREED! Great week in DLC if you ask me.
The past month or so has been solid, but I've been holding off on it in hopes that they'd add the new tracks. It looks like I might be in luck.
To review, here's what's been released since the Green Day pack...
Judas Priest, Big Dipper & The Dead Weather (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150884)
Kings of Leon, Rancid, Rise Against & Lush (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152193)
Weezer, Blink-182, Kiss (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153604)
Spinal Tap (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154909)
Gorillaz plus random classic rock singles (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156269)
Blind Melon, Blur, Dropkick Murphys, Eve 6, Kaiser Chiefs, & (more) Foo Fighters (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157576)
Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol, Jet (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159002)
Now, it'd be a little stupid to expect that we'd see all of that (and I can't really blame anyone who's still skeptical we'll see an update), but those releases would probably constitute whatever update they might include.
The only one I expect we'll see is Billy Idol, since that already (accidentally) showed up in the list early in the promotion. Other than that...who knows? :D
And, if anyone needs proof that an update should be in the cards...voila! (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2913011#post2913011)

I decided not to take any chances and just redeemed all 93 of my remaining wins for Wii/DSi points. 18,600 points. :) Of course now I have to enter them on the Wii... good thing I've got a keyboard....
I have one point left to play for now. I think I'm going to call it good enough and just play ones I happen to get from actual purchases, and won't be doing that until I go back to work in a week+, as I haven't been waking up at 5 in the morning.

Care to share your keyboard? Still have 3600 Wii Points to enter but my Wii is maxed out on them right now. Went 192/233 in redeeming codes for DLC. Not a bad winning percentage.

I'll stock up on points because of walrus' proof, and after I get whatever new songs come out (cuz there has been some pretty good DLC lately and I would happily take any of it for free) I'll keep the rest towards trying to win the beetles bundle.

I was taking the trash out at work today and tossed the bag of cans and bottles into the dumpster and notices a few yellow caps. I thought to myself "Hmm, wonder if those are the Rock Band caps?" I pulled out the bag and sure enough they were.
Just entered them and went 5/5. Thank you coworker that drinks diet Pepsi. I'll have to figure out who it is.

will anyone trade un-used wins (I'm trying to get 360 codes) for Wii codes? Please let me know. I have a bunch I was going to use but decided against it. I would *really* appreciate if someone would swap. Please let me know, it would be a HUGE HUGE help, thank you!!
Edit: I have 20x Wii codes. Even if you guys could just agree to swap a few with song requests for 360 that I send you for my wii codes, I would be really thankful!

You can use pretty much any USB keyboard - just plug it in. However, I'm now using the Logitech wireless Wii Keyboard, which I like. I mainly like it because it's small (doesn't have a numeric keypad), but also it has some special keys useful on the Wii. Any wireless keyboard that uses a USB dongle should work too, though.

Our first limited edition tracks? :lol:
Joke aside, that's another plus Rock Band has over Guitar Hero - unlike Activision, I can't think of any times where Harmonix has pulled DLC from the store permanently. I'm still pissed that I wasn't able to get the Dropkick Murphys tracks for Guitar Hero 3 because I didn't own an Xbox at the time. They didn't change the price or anything...they just pulled them entirely.

Have 16 caps waiting to be redeemed. Decided to just half it for now on. half for wii points, the other half for songs. I'll end up with songs I don't want but free is free. Only 20 days or so left of this but still, it's been fun.

well that happened to me too..only like 2 weeks ago, and they came back. but I'm sure by now they're mixing it up and only a few yellows are being sent out per shipment(s) since it's almost over.
Wouldn't be surprised if they showed up even after the promotion is over though.

From what I understand we can redeem the Wii, 360 and PS3 codes all the way until December 31, 2009 right? I don't mean trade the pepsi codes, but rather the song codes, like the 12 digit code for PS3 songs. If so at least I can just hope that the Wii gets some more games that I want to spend points on.

I believe that's correct, although I'd check the rules to make sure.

That's worth a shot, but it might not work. I know that I've just been throwing the caps back on the bottle before I throw them into our bag of recyclables so the bottles don't leak and get everything sticky, so anything you'd get from someone like me would be a dud.

After reading this, I just went 2/2! I wonder what happened that made all of us start winning a lot today? Maybe the Rock Band Pepsis supplies have depleted around the world now?
In any case, before I get too excited and throw the rest of my caps in for DLC, I need to realize that the list is still the same as it was before, and that there really is nothing I'm dying to get off that list. But I just had to get the winning feeling again. lol And I made it so I used a nice even number's worth of points. (I now have used 70 out of 83 codes).
But yeah. I hope Pepsi updates the list soon!

If it's the latter, then that's pretty cool because I didn't even realize you could "stack" your wins in this! I always assumed you had to claim a song before playing your next point.

As for the update, HMXSean (one of the developers) said last week that we were due for an update and that "technical issue" were the reason it hadn't already happened. With any luck, that will mean tomorrow, to tie in with PS3 track release day, since it didn't happen on Tuesday for the 360. Either way, "this week" means they've got two days before they make the developer a liar since we can probably assume a weekend update is out.

I do too, but keep in mind that we've got no idea what songs will be included if and when they update. Billy Idol is probably a safe bet since those two songs were included in the list at the beginning of the promotion, two months before it was even announced as DLC...but for all we know, that could be it.
Weezer, in particular, I'm unsure on. I want all of the tracks from their last pack, but the fact that "Greatest Man" and "Dreaming" didn't make it from their first pack makes me a little worried that they won't put up all of (or maybe any) the new pack.

Now when you say this, do you mean that you have 26 points to play, or that you've already won 26 times but just haven't picked your songs yet?
If it's the latter, then that's pretty cool because I didn't even realize you could "stack" your wins in this! I always assumed you had to claim a song before playing your next point.
Yeah man, just like Gothic Walrus said, if you win a DLC track, you can select redeem for later and you still have the DLC track credit in your account so you can "bank" them at a later time. I have 26 songs waiting for the possible Rancid, Blink, Weezer, Gorillaz, Kings of Leon, Rise Against and the Woodstock songs. And it would be a special treat if we could see Billy Idol, Fleetwood and Tom Petty on there haha
But yeah to redeem your songs after you won them, just go you "Your Account" and look at your My play history and the song credits will be underlined in red to click and it takes you to the song list.
And yeah its speculated for tomorrow, and I hope it goes through!:bouncy:

Much thanks to Gothic Walrus and Masterchip for the clarification. I went ahead and banked a bunch of wins, since I now realize that there's no need to wait and see what gets added to the list!
And the possibility of Billy Idol tracks really isn't a stretch at all. They've been on the list before! :D

edit: I guess I'll find out for myself soon. Hope it is still like it was yesterday.No need to worry! I bought the codes at 9:30 AM, received them (via eBay's "Ask A Question" thing, forwarded to my regular email) at 6:47 PM. The auction was for 25 codes, but he threw in 2 extra just for the hell of it! One code didn't go through for whatever reason; I emailed him about it and he quickly sent a replacement code, along with an extra "for my trouble."
So at the end of the day I ended up with 28 codes for $7.99. I bought Kool Thing and now I'm sitting on 27 in the "bank." :D
EDIT: just realized your question was more about the current win percentages rather than the reliability of the seller, but yeah, I was 28 for 28 on wins a couple hours ago!

Just bought 25 more. So I've bought 100 from him. I'm going to try for the Beatles bundle. First time I got two free codes then a few extra since some didn't work. Went I bought 50, I got 10 free codes and all of those worked.

Thanks for the response anyways Busta. Yes, I just went 25/25. $8 for $50 worth of Wii points is a great deal.
2 were invalid but I'll see if the seller responds back to me, either way I got what I paid for and the 2 extras made up for the invalid ones.

Pretty much that. A list will probably be posted in the RockBand.com forums like the past few updates; if you want to check yourself, I've got a post somewhere in the topic that's got the last song on each page (which will change when new ones are added, since they haven't changed the number of songs on a page once in the promotion).

Yesterday, nothing came up when I searched for "pepsi codes," but when I searched "pepsi rock band" a bunch of stuff came up. So leaving out the word "codes" might make it easier to find these. Actually it wouldn't surprise me if the sellers are intentionally leaving that out of the auction titles in order to dodge some eBay crackdowns.

I know this was asked before, but I did not see an answer:
Are they updating the list of RB Pepsi songs?
And if so, when?
I'm holding out a couple of my codes in hope that they will update with the full song list, but don't know how long do we have to redeem the codes?According to rumor/Twitter, the list will be updated today, tomorrow, and/or September 1st.
I think September 13th is the last day of the contest. After that, the song tokens have some sort of expiration I think, but there's really no reason to be sitting on those once the contest's over.
Also your best bet is to just play all your points now, while the gettin's good, then go back to your account and redeem the wins after the new songs are added (I had been rationing out my points until I realized you could just keep racking up wins like this).

They're working on a list on RockBand.com; I'm lazy, so I'll just copy that over. :lol:
I see all of Weezer's new pack, all of Blink, all of Kiss, all of Kings of Leon, most of (all of?) this week's new tracks, the singles from the Blind Melon week...hell, they've even got the Big Dipper tracks up, and some of the songs off of the Spinal Tap album.
The only thing I DON'T see right now that I was hoping for is Clint Eastwood (Feel Good Inc. is the only Gorillaz song up right now), but given that they added most of what I wanted which makes for another two pages or so of DLC, I can't complain. :D

That said, this year's promotion has been very good to me. I haven't been getting the caps in bulk like some of you guys have - I've gotten most of mine from guys my dad works with, and occasionally from bottles somebody in my house buys from the nearby dollar store - but I'm still looking at over $100 in free DLC by the time this is said and done.
