Re: Rock Band II - Discussion Thread

[mwestep]

A little late, but yes to no doubt. thanks for downloading the free song, i would have missed it. I have been so busy at work and school lately, no time for the lonely ps3 =(.

but, good news is that I passed my final class for college, so i will graduate this semester. whooo!!! also work has been kicking my ass doing overtime.

Also, bought the Batman blu ray... it looks PHENOMENAL, easily the best looking blu ray I own, thats including Planet Earth. Some of the shots of Batman were shot in IMAX, and the detail and clarity is unreal. You guys definitely need to check it out, just for the video quality alone. The movie being badass is just icing on the cake.

OK, I've been a little lax in keeping the other thread up to date with payments. I've checked the history and it seems that everyone is up to date on payments, except for myself who owes $20 I think. I also am not sure on the whole ACDC thing so if I'm off please do tell.

I vote no for country this week, but if the rumored Pearl Jam Ten album is next week I'll def be wanting some of that!

I own The Dark Knight blu ray (along with Batman Begins) and it looks awesome. I was extremely impressed while watching it in 720p and can only imagine how it would look like in 1080p. For some reason, the movie didn't wow me as much compared to my first viewing (midnight launch). Nevertheless, it's still a great movie. Lovers of Planet Earth should also check out Galapagos. It's a very interesting nature documentary that focuses on the mysterious islands and its inhabitants. I found it more informative than Planet Earth since the film is much more focused.

Anyways, no to country.

AC/DC cost me $10 out of pocket. So I am up $10 as far as payments go.

[StrandedBrit]

OK, so mwestep and ginsias are current, finsfan and evergoo are down 10 and I'm down ...... 30

I'll be depositing funds closer to xmas time unless we get real low and need it sooner.

[gindias]

I think I am current, I added $10 on 10/29 and another $20 on 11/9 I think it was. $20 was to match evergoo and $10 was to help offset the AC/DC pack. Please let me know if we had another "add funds" post that I missed since then. I will also vote yes to the Pearl Jam if it comes out.

[mwestep]

No rush on adding the funds guys, we have PLENTY of money in the account. This time of season can be rough on us all, family and friends/christmas comes first.

[StrandedBrit]

[mwestep]

I am going to have to listen to the christmas songs first before I pass judgement.

[finsfan0210]

no to the christmas pack but yes the the foo fighters 3 pack for the 23rd

[evergoo]

No to everything this week. I think we have enough Foo music if you know what I mean.

[gindias]

A little late but I vote yes for the Foo Fighter also. No to the Xmas stuff.

[mwestep]

[evergoo]

Yes to Roy Orbison's Oh, Pretty Woman and You Got It.

Mwestep, I'll take your word about the upcoming updates but I won't vote yet since the PSN schedule is off whack.

[mwestep]

I have had You Got it stuck in my head for the past few days.. without even listening to the song in a few years, lol.

too damn catchy.. awesome song though. You really have to appreciate Roy's voice. One of the best in the industry.

[gindias]

I will vote yes to Pretty Woman and You Got It, really the only tunes I have ever heard from Roy. Did they set a date for the "70's" DLC I read about? Really looking forward to another Tull track even though nobody in my house can stand it

[StrandedBrit]

I'll say yes to whatever you guys want on the Roy Orbison stuff.

[evergoo]

Since we have a majority needed, I went ahead and bought Orbison's Oh, Pretty Woman and You Got It.
