Yeah this should be no different, but there will ~1000 price drops tomorrow so finding the 5 or so non Rock band ones in that list may be hard. I'm trying to see if I can scan the Rock Band ones first. That will put them at the end of the history.

It would be nice if Microsoft chose to send out random emails wanting feedback on the beta to improve it as they go. They may be and it just wasn't knowledge to me, I just hope it gets better.

There's a whole forum for users to post their feedback.

I did know about the forums, though I do appreciate letting me know just incase. I just meant on a more individual bases. Nothing against forums, as I support this one, I just know when feedback is asked for people can go a bit off the rails. None the less it's a matter of "wait and see" either way.

Beatles DLC will NEVER be compatible with the Rock Band franchise (including RB3 & RB-Blitz), but will only work with "The Beatles - Rock Band" ... that was a core stipulation of the contract to avoid devaluing their brand.

Word to the wise ... rather than hoping xbldb.com catches all the track-packs & individual songs tied to each pack, I'd like to remind y'all that the Rock Band Music Store is still a great way to navigate the RB tracks & track-packs. It won't isolate what's on sale, but it DOES allow you to see which individual tracks are associated with larger collections, so that you don't mistakenly purchase both track-packs & individual-tracks (thereby purchasing items "twice"), plus it also allows you to preview the songs before purchasing.

On a general note ... geez, what a lot of thread-crapping on a Monday! Come on, folks, get happy!

Never say never. They might finally realize they're losing out on more potential royalties and change their minds. Remember how long they held out from putting their music on iTunes? (And yeah, yeah, I get that there was a trademark dispute over the "Apple" name being associating with selling music, too... but still).

And the Rock Band sale announcement couldn't make me happier. I wish they'd staggered the sales as a weekly RB deal instead of dumping it all on us at once, though. Even after triaging which track packs I absolutely want, I'll still be spending $200 in one go.

Reminder to all that the "Crazy Game Time" deals are still valid on 4000 point cards, and though I've placed at least 5 orders in the last 4 weeks, I'll probably give them another $78 tonight ... and my order placed just 5 min's ago was billed & redeemed flawlessly.

You'll find their links @ CAG's "XBL points & GOLD subscription" thread here:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/....php?p=6721848

If you need XBL GOLD subscription time, they supposedly have a deal for 9/17 only, and the coupon code can be found in the thread's OP as well.

I also can vouch for CrazyGameTime...

between their sales and bingrewards im not really bothered by the MSP system anymore.

I may have to try crazygametime this week. I have a feeling I may need quite a few points...

crazygametime is good, instant delivery via email.

I agree. It was so overwhelming tonight to figure out what to buy. I don't want to go overboard and I am at 2 packs (No Doubt/Rush) and close to 50 singles.

do they ever put games like Resident Evil Code Veronica on sale?

Resident Evil Archives? Closest to a real sale, I guess... Lol

For the record, I ragged DDN for being a half-brawler. I think that's true in SP, but with the addition of a second player and all the double damage, health sharing, et al, the game becomes MUCH more like a proper beat-em-up just by the numbers game you can now win.

I still like the game in both its formats. If it were $15 I would blanch, and even at $10 it's probably a little much when the soundtrack is PWYW and easily half the value of the game, but it's a fun ride and Wayforward can at least throw a rip-roaring final battle, even if the only good way to beat most of it is with Fireball.

Just for completeness sake, my bro-op partner quickly wanted to play Shank 2 again and I don't blame him. For fluidity, solid mechanics, and gruesome satisfaction, ain't nobody touching Shank 2 any time soon. The list of things I wouldn't do for more Shank is getting embarrassingly small.

I have both and Revenge is infinitely more playable. Bejeweled Blitz is a waste. Pick up any other Bejeweled game and you'll be far better off.

Completely with you on this. Whoever said the first Zuma is easy... Come on, stop bragging. Very few people are able to complete that game, whereas Zuma's Revenge is both beatable and a major improvement in lots of ways.

It's always been the go-to game for all my friends when we'd hang out. Most of us were in band or garage bands in high school so that might have something to do with it.

I beat it once, and it was frustrating as hell. Took me months to do, and one night I finally did it. Zuma's Revenge is far easier.

Meh. I love Rock Band, and a lot of those songs rock, I'll snag a few Snoop Dogg songs and maybe a SOAD song. I'm bummed that it's only pre-RB3. Before Rock Band 3 was when I spent most of the money on songs. Had it been post-RB3, I'd sink at least $100 on this sale. Here's hoping to that!
