If that changes for next week that's fine but this means I need to blow five more bucks on SOMETHING so I can cash in on the 2400 points - 800 points free deal. Doors were going to push me over the top. Any good 5 dollar XBL games? Nostalgia games especially?] EDIT: Oh hi, TMNT. weekly font fucked around with this message at Oct 26, 2010 around 14:34 |

Utnayan posted:What I mean is EA is smart enough to not pay royalities for the same music twice and have an agreement in place to make licensing of songs span the brand. So while drafting licensing documents with music publishers they have stipulations in place to cover using the songs more than once across any Rock Band game. Which is why I do not buy the licensing excuse for charging 10 bucks to export the songs. EA is not the publisher, just the distributor. Also there's a huge difference in the RB music licensing and licensing for Battlefield.

weekly font posted:It is the hardest part. There needs to be more Petty. Specifically more Petty off the Live Anthology set. There's a goldmine of great music there and Benmont Tench is a pretty solid keyboardist so it should make for good pro keys content.

So where the hell is my RB2 export key then? I bought the game new, take good care of this poo poo too, can guarentee that I have no friend that came over and snatched it either. The only code I have in the entire instruction manual is the Bonus Downloadable Tracks key in the back. Nothing is labeled Export Key, nor do I remember it when I first got the game.

There's a massive difference between licensing something that can be easily ripped off a CD and licensing multi-tracks, composition and performance rights. That's not even starting on things like converting media types vs. a single download licenses, the fact that broader licenses cost more money, etc.

mastershakeman posted:Odd that rb1 could be exported without owning rb2, but rb2 can't without owning rb3. Oh well. It makes a lot more sense for non-nerds to have one place in RB3 to go and input an export code, instead of having to dick around in the old games to get it done.

The waiting game is going to last another week for me because I don't get the money I need for the bundle until next week. You lucky bastards. Random questions: Is there an option to rewatch the cinematics featuring your band, like in Lego? Also, what's the cap on created characters?

Probably because 2+ years ago they couldn't say for certainty that that's how any possible future export would be handled.

Does anyone have info on a bundle with the pro guitar? (The button guitar, not the unreleased expensive one.) I'm trying to keep myself from playing it with the old controllers because of how much I hate them since I know how to play guitar.

I am not sure I would go that far yet, but honestly with the way the industry is heading right now I wouldn't put it past them. I have seen much worse. HK posted:Also there's a huge difference in the RB music licensing and licensing for Battlefield. Care to explain this? The only difference here is the development time to create the interactive content with the songs. The licensing of the actual song content has already been given permissions and it works the same whether it is a single player game, multiplayer game, or an interactive music game. A license across a brand or IP doesn't change just because a developer may need to re-develop new interactive controls. And even if it is licensing, there is no way that $10.00 per user would pay for the re-licensing of god knows how many song titles. They would be taking it in the shorts and would just block RB1 and 2 content from being pushed over to the new Rockband without a brand license.

What's the chances of being able to walk into the store later today and picking up a keyboard bundle for 360? I didn't preorder since I was originally not going to pick it up on release day.

Kaboobi posted:Licensing for music games requires a totally different (and more expensive) license due to the nature of how the music is used. I'll let this argument go for the sake of the thread as I do not want to clutter it up with this. But that just isn't the case. Because you would also see a difference in regular and pro mode content licenses as the same result. Licensing doesn't go this deep. The reason for the increased cost you will see on pro-mode songs will be due to the increased development time. Which is something I would never have a problem paying for because I understand that aspect. But unless there has been a law changed in the last 6 months I do not know about, a brand license doesn't care what you use the song for. It's tied to that brand or IP, and is yours to do with what you wish for the lifecycle of the brand. The only other issue I see for a licensing issue is the break that Viacom and EA had back in March of 2010. Utnayan fucked around with this message at Oct 26, 2010 around 15:01 |

I am going to run out at lunch and get the game. Question: Is the Pro Guitar out yet? Most retailers listed it as releasing in mid-to-late November for 360. I really want the game for Pro Guitar, as I want that insanely difficult learning curve I experience from GH2 when I played for the first time and went FOUR BUTTONS gently caress THIS poo poo. So yeah, is the Pro Guitar in stores?
