re: Rock Band 3

I think the DLC we purchased will work, but I worry that the RB2 disc based songs if they can't get all of them licensed we will lose some songs.

Hopefully they fixed those contracts when they made RB2 so that they could being all the songs over.

STP (also for GH 6):

In recent weeks, Universal Music Publishing Group signed a multiyear worldwide publishing deal with Weiland and extended its deal with STP. (Weiland's existing publishing agreement with Bug Music for his share of the STP catalog expires in September.) The new deal with UMPG encompasses the band's catalog, including the new album. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

"We already have major things in the works, like film trailers, big commercials and videogame opportunities," UMPG chairman/CEO David Renzer says, noting that the agreement had just been signed and deals hadn't yet been finalized. "We're very highly focused on the whole synchronization area."

In addition to licensing STP music for the upcoming "Rock Band 3″ and "Guitar Hero 6," Dufine says that she's targeting synchs for programs like "True Blood," "Gossip Girl" and "Vampire Diaries."

Additionally, ESPN will use eight STP tracks-including new cuts "Between the Lines," "Dare If You Dare," "Take a Load Off" and "Fast As I Can"-across its programming. And footage from the band's March appearance at South by Southwest will air on TV screens in Best Buy stores and be used for album teasers on STP's Web site. The group has several TV appearances lined up around the album's release-including "Late Show With David Letterman" (May 19) and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (May 25)-and it's scheduled for Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio show May 18. STP's March 27 concert at Chicago's Riviera Theatre will air on VH1, MTV2 and sister HD channel Palladia in late May.

Though hopefully each game gets a different song and not just the new single for both...not that anyone wants the new single when we still don't have Creep,Big Bang Baby and Plush.

Guess Plush can be removed from my last comment.

It had been announced that Game Informer was getting their hands on RB3 today. I guess the question is whether they'll release that info today (I'm overly optomistic).

Keyboard, eh? Hopefully all of these new instruments will be as they say, that it will better help us learn to play the instruments.

I'm in... just not right when it releases. Oh how I wish this was coming out next year instead.

I haven't played RB2 in a while, we'll see how much I enjoy Green Day and see if it gets me back into this type of game. I played RB2 and the GHs for so long, I think I burned out a little.

I have reached that point with these is a total burnout.

re: Rock Band 3

So I guess that makes it 99% that BoRhap will be in this too. Though I guess that means they won't chart piano to the guitar like GH will probably do so it'll suck on that. Then there's having 5 instruments on screen. Wonder if there'll be backwards compatibility like with The Final Countdown,Baba O'Riley or that NIN song they charted the piano in.

If they update all the songs to include new features/instruments for RB3 that would be amazing.

I also like the fact that there are 3 microphones in the logo

Yeah, I definitely got burned out... but I still love the games. If someone else was there with me playing all of the time, then I most certainly would play all of the time as well.

I downloaded the Green Day demo, and one thing that I noticed was that it utilizes all 5.1 channels instead of omitting the center channel like RB2 does. It sounds much better. I hope RB3 does the same.

I hope this means we get some Warren Zevon in RB3.

I'd kill to play Werewolves of London.
