    Re: Rock Band 3

    You unlock things through challenges instead of money.
    It's even worse than GH 5 because it includes pro.
    So if you don't play vox you won't get items from the vox challenges.
    If you don't have drums you can't get drum items.
    You can play expert guitar but didn't shell out $250 for a pro guitar you can't do those challenges so can't get those items.
    Stuck on medium bass? Too bad no hard or expert unlocks for you!
    Want that spiffy trenchcoat? Well you have to hit 10,000 notes. Don't worry though those silly backwards jeans you DON'T want will unlock after you hit 5000!



    As opposed to just bulding up money and buying whatever you want specifically.

    It does unlock for all band members if you unlock it but still if you can't unlock it to begin with either due to skill or just not having the required instrument that's not much help. There's some stuff that unlocks through quickplay/leveling up the band.

    They changed it in GH 6 so it unlocks through ranks,which go up through stars,which you get more of through challenges but there's challenges for everything so you can still get whatever you want regardless of what you play or difficulty you play it on.

      I would buy the keyboard just to play Piano Man.

          Re: Rock Band 3

          Couple questions about the Squier Stratocaster:

          - For songs that have a different tuning or use a capo, would we just have to play it normally to make the game recognize it properly? For instance, if I wanted to try and play the song with the guitar plugged into the amp instead of hearing it on screen and I wanted to use a capo, would everything get fudged up because I may be a half-step higher than the way the game recognizes your notes?

          - What if your strings break? Does the guitar recognize the things you press based on the strings, or can you always get new strings if they break?

            I dunno about your first question but for the second it will come with extra strings.

              Gotcha. So you think it's the strings that are partly tied in with how the game reads the guitar? Just wondering in case, you know, you snap multiple sets (it is a guitar after all). I replace my acoustic guitar strings every three weeks, I don't even have to snap them to have worn them down enough that I don't like the sound of my guitar anymore.

                It's been covered I just don't know where it's at and don't remember how it works.

                RB 3 is the main focus of GTTV on Spike tonight at 1:13 A.M. EST.

                  $9.99 to export most RB2 songs...

                  And DLC with Pro Guitar will be $2.99. Not bad at all.

                    $10? Not bad. I was expecting at least $15.

                      Any ideas as to what won't export? I'd guess "Battery" won't.

                        Probably Spoonman since Soundgarden had a big tie-in with Guitar Hero.

                          Anyone else not exporting RB2, or at least not right away? I didn't care for the majority of the set list at all (I actually consider it the worst of the RB titles), and while there are some I'd like to have in one spot in RB3, I'm in no rush to export.

                              That and because Black Hole Sun is missing. Also reports that the Anvil,Guess Who and Dinosaur Jr. packs are missing.

                                What's the story with the RB1 songs, are they exportable with the same key we bought for RB2 in the past?
