Can somebody confirm this..

Can I sort by songs 3 stars and up and organize it by band?

I have so many songs that sorting it by song name is the stupidest thing ever.

Are song ratings per-console or per XBL account? Can my wife rate songs differently than I do?

Per account. It might be a bit confusing on the song selection screen, because it'll only show the rating of the band you're currently playing under, but after every song each band member can enter their own ratings.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.

Hit the mall at lunch today and there were no keyboard bundles at either HMV or EB Games at Metrotown in Burnaby, BC, . Lots and lots of copies of the game, though.

Think I'll hold off for the keyboard bundle, that's pretty much what I'm most excited about anyway.

So what are some favourite keyboard songs so far?

I only got to play for like an hour or so, but I found Rock Lobster to be really drat fun on the keyboard, even though there's a long stretch of no playing.

Who thinks we should start taking bets on whether or not rockband.com will get relaunched any time soon? The day's more than halfway over and they haven't mentioned the site on their Twitter even once today.

Between this and all the glitches I'm hearing about, this is the most botched launch for a great game I've seen in some time. It almost makes me wish they'd delayed the game to prevent all of this poo poo.

Back from work, finally, and able to enjoy RB3 with all of the people just getting it today.

Has anyone found any brick-and-mortar retailers that claim to have the Mustang? I'm not optimistic in the slightest, but I'm calling around without success and want to make sure I've checked everywhere.

Yeah, the keyboard is making me feel exactly like I did when I first started playing Guitar Hero. I keep messing up my fingering and am catching myself looking down to fix it. I'm hoping it doesn't take me too long to get the hang of it.

We will, actually, and not a bit less because you came in here to whine that it wasn't Guitar Hero. I'm sure you'll get over it, though, once Activision hands the franchise over to their flight sim devs or the Starcraft II team.

Wii: Just realized the RB2 export option appeared under "Previously Redeemed Codes" despite me never entering it (though it appears I would still need to actually purchase the export).

So are they just giving credit for owning RB2 to everyone on the Wii, or was it because it recognizes that this Wii owns RB2 DLC or what? Either way seems like they haven't actually implemented a strict one-time use code for the Wii RB2 export -- unless this is just a release day gently caress-up and it's not supposed to show me as already having entered a code.

e: Looking at my RB2 manual again I guess there aren't unique codes printed for the Wii? I could have sworn there were despite not needing them for the 20 free songs. Guess that explains it.

If I'm someone who only plays drums on Hard difficulty, do I gain any fun at all from picking up the cymbals? Looking at them, they look like they'd add a lot, but if I'm not playing on Expert, I want to make sure it's not a waste.


Also, make sure you enjoy that squishy strum bar feeling before deciding on a guitar. If you like it, take one of the suggestions here, but if you like the metronomic click of the Guitar Hero ones, then pick up a cheap Guitar Hero 5 bundle.
The Beatles Gretsch has a nice QUIET click, so you get the best of both worlds.

I haven't owned a GH game since GH III.

And considering I spent 60-70% of my time in score duels, and 15% playing X+ customs, those two things are a big deal to me. I'm not saying those should be a big deal for everyone else, but most of my friends on Rock Band are other drummers and I don't like when there isn't a competitive edge when I play.

If your friends and stuff are real drummers, why the gently caress are you all playing Rock Band?

You can sort by only 1 thing at a time. You can sort by rating (but not filter out specific ratings) and you can sort by band name, but you can't sort by both. If you sort by rating the ratings are sorted alphabetically by song.

My guess is they're too lazy to figure out how to play the songs themselves since he mentioned customs (hey wait, isn't that ?).

I didn't say anything about having real drummers for friends. Most of the people I'm friends with who play Rock Band (i.e people online, not real life) are people who don't really do anything but drum, such as myself. Plus, I don't really enjoy BQP anyways.

You don't even think pro drums look like they have the potential to be challenging? I've been hearing good things from very good drum players.
