Garbage garbage garbage
So I figured I was cheating the system and it turns out the system saw me coming and changed the rules on me. For Rock Band 1 to RB2, you simply put the RB1 disc into your system, payed a $5 fee, and you got to export all but 2 RB songs to RB2 as DLC songs. Great move. For Lego Rock Band & Green Day RB, you open up your new copy of the game, go to a website, put in your code, get another code that you then put into your redeem code thing on your 360, then start your game, go to the RB music store in the game, confirm your intention to transfer the tracks to your HDD, pay $10, and download 1.2gb worth of music. There is no way to do that whole song and dance if you don't buy a new copy of the game because you won't have the "I can download the songs" key. No key, no songs regardless of whether or not you have the $10 to buy and pay for them. The rub here is that I signed up for Gamefly specifically to be able to get the songs from Lego & Green Day Rock Bands. I just signed up for NOTHING now. I was mislead by reviews stating the ease of transferring songs for use in RB2. The only workaround is if you (you being anyone) have a gamertag that has applied the in-case code for their gamertag. That person then transfers their gamertag via the recovery tool to another 360. 2nd 360 can then put in the Lego RB disc and download the songs while the transferred gamertag is logged in (as, say, the 2nd player). The game looks for the key, it doesn't care who has it, just that it's on the 360. You can then pay the $10 and download the songs. =--= The game itself, Lego Rock Band, is actually really good. Great song variety and the story mode is actually quite good considering it's still just a rock band game. Playing The Hives "Tick Tick Boom" while doing a "destroy the building" mission was fitting. |
