  • From Joystiq:
    The Rock Band 2 press release, which included the final set-list for the game, also mentions that Rock Band content from the discs will be transferable to the sequel, but for a price. The release states that "owners of the original Rock Band will have the ability to export most of the Rock Band disc tracks and upgrade them into Rock Band 2 gameplay-the first time ever in videogame history!" You will need to pay an unlocking fee to do so, which will be "under 5 dollars."
    awesome...

    • under 5 dollars per track, or one flat fee? Big diefference.

        • Well OK then. Want those drums bad, but I can't justify the expense. Not when I need real drum items for the same price or more. Too bad.

          • Although, you did read that those drums double as a "real electronic drumkit" right? As in no game needed apparently.

            • Yes I did. I'll believe it when I see it. Decent electronic kits go for well over $1,000. Not $300. I'm sure it is a fantastic drum controller. Sounds a lot better for songs with a lot of notes going on. I'm looking at you Iron Maiden.

              • I dunno. I've played around on a 600 set and it was decent. Obviously you wouldn't tour with it, but it was fun and did what it needed to do.

                • No no no. You got it all wrong. I would guess that these drums would require a separate external module from Roland or someone to function as electronic drums.

                  • Ah, see I assumed it would just have a midi in/out and or USB...use that shit with Fruity loops or Reason. Although, totally agree about the external modual. One of the reasons why I didn't buy Rolands cheap drum set. It came with one but wasn't customizable or upgradable...fuck that.

                    I want to use my collection of porn sounds with my drums. That's how I roll.

                    • I like playing fake video game music to real songs. That is all the musical talent I was given.

                      • Aw, motherfucker. I think my drums are finally broken. The yellow pad felt mushy when I hit it with the sticks so I fingered it a bit (shut up, pervs). It's super mushy in the middle, like the plastic plate underneath has snapped.

                        Rest is pieces, good buddy.

                        So let's do the tally:

                        Bass pedals killed: 2
                        Drum pads murderized: 1

                        • Haha. Awwws.

                          My red pad broke after not playing for like an month and a half. I was rocking out to Enter Sandman tonight with my broken, taped together bass pedal when my red pad stopped registering almost every hit. It feels weird and I'm pretty sure it's broken. Oh well. I'm not fucking with a new set until the Ion set comes out with RB2.

                          • Your guys are sick man! I wonder if you spend $300 on the new and imporved set if it would hold up to your pounding?

                            • That's just it, I don't pound the kit very hard (ha ha). The only problem is that I do get into the crazy high-hat bit at the beginning of Who Are You. I can keep the x4 multiplier going through the whole thing and I get all excited.

                              • I haven't even played any of the new Who songs and I'm sad. But no more Rock Band until the ION set and RB2 is out.
