[finsfan0210]

just as a reminder rock and roll band by foreigner is only a buck right now on the psn. Don't know how long it will last but i thought i'd just let you guys know

[StrandedBrit]

Just want to check with you guys that you have credit cards to deposit funds.

Also I see you guys want to move fast, so I'll create the shared account tomorrow and deposit my first $10. If we all deposit 10 that will give up $30 and potentially 15 songs. I'll PM you guys the account details via CAG.

EDIT: I agree with finsfan below.

[finsfan0210]

These songs are only a dollar for each week listed below. May i suggest that if their is a song we all want to get and it happens to be one of the ones below maybe we could wait to buy it until the week its on sale.

And I also agree w/ StrandedBit's idea of depositing $10 each so that we may have 15 songs in all (or more depending on # of members). Personally, I'm not in a rush to download songs but it doesn't look like anyone else on CAG is interested.

EDIT: Songs #10 and up were just added.

[StrandedBrit]

Rock Band Gameshare Account created! I'll PM you guys the details via CAG once we get this rolling/confirm we're doing it.

[gindias]

I guess my list will be short, I am good with anything really and only have a few that I really want. I also have a few on your lists already I dont know how that will affect the group.

My list;
Peace of Mind - Boston
Heroes - David Bowie
My Sharona - The Knack
Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots
Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Train in Vain - The Clash

[StrandedBrit]

Simple Man – Lynrd Skynrd (x4)
More Than A Feeling – Boston (x3)
Message In A Bottle – The Police (x3)
Peace and Mind – Boston (x3)

All The Small Things – Blink 182 (Purchase when $1) (x2)
Oasis Pack 1 (x2)
Hard To Handle – Black Crowes (x2)

Heroes - David Bowie (x2)

I would think all songs with 3 and 4 votes are locks. I guess you should look down this list of songs with only 2 songs and voice objections to them.

EDIT: Update. Also seeing as I have none yet, I'm all for getting all on the list.

[evergoo]

I think you forgot to mention Heroes by David Bowie as 2 votes (Gindias and me).

It looks like we want some sort of Stone Temple Pilots song. One's more mellow (Interstate Love Song) while the other's more aggressive (Sex Type Thing).

And if you haven't downloaded it yet, Portal's Still Alive is free. Funny yet cruel song.

[finsfan0210]

I'm ready to get started whenever the rest of you guys are ready.

[StrandedBrit]

Well I guess finsfan and evergoo seem to be OK with that list.

If gindias OKs the list then we'll get this show on the road.

[gindias]

Im ready let me know how/when to add cash. I already have More than a feeling so if you guys want to I can just share that. The rest of the list I am fine with. Like I said I am not picky about what we get I just dont want to buy songs I already have. But I wont block any just because I may have them.

[evergoo]

Assuming that all 14 selections are final, the total comes out to $30.36 (12 $1.99s, 1 $5.49, & 1 $0.99).

StrandedBrit: Does your plan involve each of us depositing $10 (via Credit Card) into the account OR is one person in charge and collecting all the PayPal? Let us know soon because I think we're all ready to rock!

[StrandedBrit]

Everyone will deposit funds via credit card/psn card.

Details PMd to all via CAG (for security reasons). Lets get this started!

One little detail I didn't mention in the PM. If more than one of us is in the account trying to download, it'll kick one of us off. If this happens, just wait a while for the other person to finish and try again. Rockband songs aren't very big files so this shouldn't happen often.

Enjoy!

[finsfan0210]

Are we only getting 14 songs? I dunno but for 10 bucks a person we could get 25 songs in all.

[evergoo]

I think we're getting only 14 selections right now (16 songs total including Oasis pack), but will use the rest of the money for new songs that we agree upon.

I'm assuming the format will be the same: 3 or 4 means definitely while 2 means possibly unless people object.

[StrandedBrit]

Yeah we'll just vote on stuff that comes out every week and purchase as necessary.

Finsfan, Evergoo and I have added funds. Waiting on Gindias and then we should be set.

[gindias]

I added $10 today the total was $42 if I remember right.

[StrandedBrit]

Sweet. When I get home this evening I'll purchase all the songs and post here so everyone knows.

Unless one of you guys wants to do it. If you do post here that you are doing it, then edit your post once complete.

Yippee!!! I'm buying the games right now! Will post an edit when I'm through.

EDIT: Bought everything on the 14-selection list except All The Small Things (waiting for $1) & Train in Vain (waiting for Thursday). Current wallet is $14.66.

EDIT2: Finished downloading the songs. Please make sure to post here so that people are aware of you downloading.

[finsfan0210]

Downloading the songs now. Thanks to the ones who bought the first couple of songs on their own I may buy some a few to make it fair using my cc.

[gindias]

I started downloading around midnight CST, I didnt download More than a feeling and Fortunate son. I already have those so they will have an extra download available.

Its finished, I added my other account to the friends list so I know when somebody is downloading and I wont boot them. I am on at wierd hours sometimes and I dont want to boot someone by accident.

[finsfan0210]

I added an additional 5 bucks to the wallet and purchased rock and roll band by boston($1), 3's and 7's by queens of the stone age($2), and zero by the smashing pumpkins($2).

[finsfan0210]

"Train in Vain (Stand by Me)" by The Clash

I vote for getting this song that just came out. The others are kinda lame to me.
