Splitkick: For a time, I was a plastic rock god.
About 5 years ago, amid the initial frenzy of Guitar Hero, I found it almost impossible to walk into a gathering of friends where someone wasn’t plugging away on a plastic guitar. I’d wait patiently, not wanting to seem too eager to play, and when I got a chance to step up I’d slide the difficulty to expert and melt some faces. Soon after the release of Rock Band, I purchased a gig bag so I could transport my drums and guitars wherever I went. I wasn’t as good as those videos you see on YouTube – I wasn’t gold-starring Run to the Hills or anything crazy like that – but I was the best fake rockstar I knew, and that was enough for me.
Pick it up quick.
J Station X: "Harmonix have slashed the prices on multiple Rock Band games and their downloadable track packs in time for Christmas and New Year’s Eve."
I only play a few times per year anymore but what about the songs that lost their contract and had to be removed? Should I not let it update?
The songs just get removed from the store. So long as you've already bought and downloaded them, you're fine to do any updates.
R.I.P. I bought over 1000 songs and I wish I could say still counting. We love you Rockband. <3
