question - can we play solo with our au profile and save etc, and use the US account only to buy songs? or am i tied down to using my US account from here on, with my extra DLC etc??



I use my main AU Account to play and has all my game saves, and just use the US account to download new tracks.

awesome... thanks for that discomark!! i'll ensure i save my game that way then

EDIT:

My thoughts on Rock Band – it’s really a freaking amazing game! If you’re a gamer and you love music as well (good old rock/metal/alternative etc, not really your top 40 stuff), then you would instantly fall in love with it! Besides playing the solo tour, your friends can join in for a song, which makes it so much more interactive! In short, it’s possibly the best party game to date

For all of you considering importing it, I’d wholeheartedly recommend it. You won’t regret it. Its so easy to set up a US PSN account and Entropay virtual credit card to get additional songs online. Heck, on my first night with the game I bought three song packs (9 songs all up) – Metallica and two Nine Inch Nails packs (which are awesome songs btw)

If you’re not sure which ebay seller to get the game from online, PM me and I’ll refer you to the guy I got it from. His prices are pretty competitive, and shipping was excellent in my case

Thanks!

Ahhhh....ANother one extremely happy with his product. I don't think
anyone who has imported has been dissapointed by this game.

The only thing this game could have improved in my opinion is the character creation.

Yeah I have no regrets whatsoever buying RB1 instead of waiting for RB2

Well.. you could wait I suppose.. the question is are you able to wait that long? RB2 is supposed to come out sometime in Oct, and with shipping etc (possibly even shortages on the bundle) you’re looking at receiving it at the end of this year. That’s a looong time.. I couldn’t wait that long

Hahah thanks.. I didn’t do very well on that song though. Managed to finish it, so I suppose that’s good yeah I started playing drums in 1999, but I have not played for about 3 years now due to me not having a kit anymore..

p.s. i got the SL model drum kit... thats the latest version, right? what model do you guys have??



oh . . . . damn . . . . I even bought a second set, and still got EL


Knew you'd like it Jinx - wait till you get a few friends over with some'liquid talent enhancer' on board, and see how much it turns into a chuckle-fest.

hahah of course yeah it is a fnatastic game - i cant wait for this weekend to officially "start a band" me and my housemates have been having a blast the past 2 days

ouch.. that is prety expensive. i paid about aud$50 less and i got an additional Nyko guitar with my bundle. like wutang said, the smart thing to do would be to import or wait for RB2

DiscoMark said: I'm not sure why people who are interested in this game haven't already!!!!



i guess some people dont want to risk importing it all the way from the states.. or the hefty price of shipping (which actually works out to be cheaper, based on this new aussie pricing rumours). i gotta admit, those rumours look pretty realistic..

you can buy songs within the game itself. BUT, you need to make prepatory steps beforehand.. you will need:

1) US PSN account
2) virtual credit card (with an american address on it). entropay works well for most of us here

in short, log into your US psn, start the game, go to music store, and buy away. have you done or are you aware of how to sort out steps 1 and 2 above? the how-to is somewhere in this large thread

Australian Rock Band Pricing "Completely Wrong"?

www.kotaku.com.au/

Crazynites, the struts are good. Worth the money in my opinion.
(They're the ones that support the green and red drums right?)

Yeah thats the ones, I got the wooden struts, I figure they might be a bit stronger than the PVC pipe type that I had seen.
