Whoops! I somehow didn't see your post. Please, don't beat me up. Wink

Looks like we have a majority for Godsmack and the following situation for the Steve Miller Band songs:

The Joker (2/5)
Take The Money And Run (3/5)
Space Cowboy (2/5)

Hmm...interesting. Anyone wanna change sides? Laughing

I finally earned Flawless Fretwork (100% Expert Guitar) and Flawless Groove (100% Expert Bass) today without much difficulty! cheers

My recommendation for the two easiest songs: Nirvana's Something In The Way for Guitar and The Beastie Boys' So Whatcha' Want for Bass. On Guitar, the song repeats the same 2 and 3-chord notes over and over. On Bass, just hold the green button and up strum...or if you suck like me, turn your guitar upside down and down strum. Cool

Nice Evergoo, I did the flawless fretwork/expert 100% bass on that steve colbert song, short and sweet.

All tracks are original master recordings.

These tracks will be available on Xbox 360 in the Xbox Live Marketplace on January 27th, and they will be up on the Playstation 3 in the Playstation Store on Thursday January 29th. We'll have more information on upcoming Wii DLC posted shortly, so keep posted to this thread for more info.

These classic Dead tracks will run $1.99 (aka 160 Microsoft Points) a piece, or $9.99 (aka 800 Microsoft points) for the full Grateful Dead 6 pack.

evergoo Tue Feb 03, 2009 5:01 pm

Thanks for your generosity finsfan! My gf and I love Zoo Keeper (Bejeweled clone on the DS) so I'm sure we'll fall in love with it all over again. Very Happy

As for this week, my vote goes to Pat Benatar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot and Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back In Town & Cowboy Song.

Btw, I purchased the 2 Steve Miller Band songs since we had a majority vote for them. Our wallet is now $27.80.

I will vote for the Pat Benatar for the week of 2/3, sorry I didnt know we voted on content that week. As for this week I will vote no to everything.

StrandedBrit Thu Feb 19, 2009 9:55 pm

Nothing for this week.

Also, I added $20 so I could be caught up. ~47 in there now.

mwestep Fri Feb 20, 2009 9:53 am

Sorry I haven't been around lately, between keeping busy at work, my internet going down for a bit, and everything else, I just haven't had a hcance to get on in awhile.

I am a yes for the Boys are back in town.

evergoo Fri Feb 20, 2009 6:17 pm

Just dl'd Hit Me With Your Best Shot and the balance now is $45.81.

I deposited $20 via PSN Card but please account for only $10. The other $10 will be for personal song purchases (Thin Lizzy's Boys Are Back In Town and Cowboy Song). So I'm debt free and have $6 in credit. Hope that makes sense.

The account balance now is $61.83.

mwestep Thu Feb 26, 2009 4:38 pm

Have you guys put in more money already? I will put money into the account if I am backlogged.

As for this week, I am down for the drive by truckers song, and that should be about it.

Did the password change on the account? It isn't letting me log in.

StrandedBrit Thu Feb 26, 2009 5:10 pm

If you try and log in it actually says "You cannot use the Playstation Network with this account". Shocked

I don't know what's going on. My other gameshares work OK.

EDIT: Has anyone used this account to get on Home? I've googled it and apparently the error code/message is due to the account being banned usually between 3-30 days. Most people report it's because people are being reported in Home.

Technically all our content is there and can be used, but we cannot access the account (for a while anyway).

mwestep Thu Feb 26, 2009 5:14 pm

Yeah, I was wanting to download the previous weeks rock band dlc, and it wont let me in for some reason.

EDIT: I hope its just that, we cannot log in for a specified amount of time. I don't even have Home installed on my ps3.

Does anyone remember all the information on the account? Maybe someone can call and try to figure out what is going on with the account.
