eBay is your friend. Also, the keyboard bundle can now be found at very cheap prices.

If you were going to buy a cheap secondhand 360 just for RB3, then might as well go the whole hog and get a JTAGgable model.

The default 120GB hard drive is more than enough to hold the ~3000 songs that a Rock Band 3 library is software-limited to.

Not to mention the fact that nobody has time to play 3000 songs. I have around 1000 songs (and only ~150 are customs) and don't have the time to play 1/10 of them even on a dedicated rock band party night.

Wow, really? So if you - hypothetically - bought all the RB and RBN tracks, you wouldn't be able to play them all?

Macavity posted:

Yeah, when I'm playing I regularly do a half-hour session of drumming a day, which is like a half-dozen songs, so to get through C3's output would take me around four to five months. I have like 1500 songs between legits and customs, and just switched back to doing pro drums, so I have like 1300 songs left to play through.

That is correct. Harmonix has actually talked about that before. They didn't realize it would get so out of hand.

Best thing about Last Christmas is I authored that back in August, so my music/emotion clock was all messed up, dreaming of a white Xmas during a heat wave.

A straight-to-VHS movie about Rudolph had a completely original soundtrack and then jammed "Wonderful Christmastime" right into the middle of it for no apparent reason. It was always the most bizarre part of my yearly Christmas watching as a kid.

drummerockband has done some hard poo poo for C3. I had to do a brief playtest of the song and I was sick of it after just that.

I don't see why people are harping on Wonderful Christmastime, when they should be complaining about Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer, not only is a terrible song, but it spawned an even more terrible christmas movie

Yes, they basically formed TSO as a side project and then TSO became waaaaaaay more popular so they basically abandoned the Savatage name.

Hey quick odd problem. My XB360 E74'ed and died, so I got a refurb and swapped my HDD into it. All my music is there, but everything I've bought from RBN is showing up as DEMO or not there at all.

I tried deleting the song cache, but no dice. Any suggestions/ideas? Google led me to the song cache, and re-downloading everything one a a time, but that is gonna take a while.
