Next Week's Rock Band Tracks Require Many, Many Friends

@Luis:
Suckered? I, and you, have been playing those songs for months. You get what you pay for.

I always kinda had a feeling that they would become available someday. I even thought thay would be free. I waited for the first halo map pack to become free before i got it. But i couldn't wait for these songs to be free (or to pay less for them later).

My thing, i don't think OXM is a bad publication. Expensive? HELL YES! But you pay for that f'in demo disk. You have to.

And sometimes... just sometimes... that disk has something awesome on it. And the magazine itself is a good read for one simple reason. It's about video games. I could talk to a moron for hours if we're talking about videogames. And i will have left that conversation with a better grasp on my opinions and feeling about the industry. You can always learn SOMETHING.

but $12... yeah. i can understand that, but my argument had nothing so much to say about the songs, more about defending a credible and decent publication from internet trolls.

Can people that bought the Xbox Magazine pack get the HMX Pack for free just to fix the name of Super Sprode?

@XWonka: The OXM hate comes from the fact that for weeks OXM was hyping and promising that you would never be able to download these. They would only be available on their cd, ever. So they suckered me and I'm sure a bunch more people into spending $12. I hope they reply to this fact on their next podcast. I'm pretty upset about their flat out lying.

As somebody that bought a $10 magazine for the "exclusive" 3 tracks, I am not happy. After going through 4 guitars at launch, why is EA/Harmonix making it so hard for me to be happy with this game? I'm not washing my hands of the game yet, but I'm right there... Not cool...

I've had these since the magazine released them. It's a bummer. It's a bummer, dude.

At least mine were free. I'm not saying theft. You can say theft.

OXM is a very tiny magazine with a large price. That is why no one likes them.

Sprode has the WORST drum chart in the game.

All of these songs are fun as heck. Rock Rebellion is espically nice for bass players.

So what's with all the OXM hate? I mean, it's a video game publication. When is something like that bad to read? Do you guys not agree with their agenda? what?

Hmm just because I'm willing to pay 2 bucks for these songs doesn't mean I should have too. When will Sony adjust the damn prices on PSN? (By that comment I mean canadians have to pay twice what U.S. residents pay for these songs).

@Mavwick:

You can't count not being published as a sign of quality. Some of the best songs from GH 1-2 are done by the guys at Harmonix, their own 'in house' bands.

Count Zero's okay. The other two are great tracks. I'll have to nab them, as I didn't get any special toilet paper with a demo disc.
Count Zero doesn't even have published work. The best MP3 a friend could find to complete his collection included the in-game sounds. Ding!

Goddamnit, I already have these from OXM. So between last week's "Still Alive" sillyness and this, that's essentially no new songs for two weeks.
Where the f*** is Nevermind and Who's Next, Harmonix??

i'm fairly certain that these songs were in Issue 80 of OXM. and they were free on the disc.

Sprode is freaking awesome to play guys. Its a must have.

However, this makes me sad that I paid 12 bucks Canadian back in the day for these three songs, and the free coloured toilet paper, when I could have had them for 240 points (3 bucks give or take).

Toilet paper wasn't even that good.

Ha! I already know these songs too well.
Prepare to be bested, guy who actually buys this pack!
Also: Super Sprode is oddly addicting.
Also also: Getting you're buddies together to sing Bang Camaro in unison doesn't work too well, as demonstrated by these people:
