I just hope that this doesn't become a habit for them. Next time they want to release a bunch of songs for some big band like this it would be a lot more convenient to their community to have the songs available as DLC.
Yeah, the price tag is too high and.
I wonder if with due time these songs will become standard DLC?

This is a straight-up rental. For $2 a track online it'd cost about the same, and unless you can export the songs to your hard drive I wouldn't consider purchasing this, as much as I love all those games.
Dmgi, this doesn't sound like it could even be a rental. How would they deal with the one use code for transferring the songs?
Frankly I just don't see how this can sell well. I'm not a huge AC/DC fan but there are a lot of great songs. But enough to merit 40 dollars on an outdated title? No thanks.

Gonna run to wal mart, buy this, go home and transfer the songs.
Take the game to my local video game shop, trade it in for fallout 3
maybe have to spend 10 bucks more
Good deal to me i think

It could stand to be a little cheaper, and I'd rather AC/DC just unclenched their tight assholes and let the songs arrive as ordinary DLC.
But the only real problem I have is the Walmart exclusive; thanks, fuckers. I live downtown - there are no fucking Walmarts. I have to ride a fucking bus all the fuck out to the suburbs to buy a game? You must be joking.

You know, I understood I'd be paying a premium overall for the songs, since AC/DC probably cost a bit more than usual to license, but I wasn't expecting Harmonix to ship it with the Rock Band 1 interface. That's just a bit lazy, in my opinion. Sure, once I go for the (apparently very simple and easy) achievements, I'll import the songs and only play them in Rock Band 2, but still, kind of disappointing in that regard. Sigh...I guess I'll pick it up, just because it's always good to have more songs to choose from.
Rock Band 2, with 80+ songs on disc-$60
Rock Band AC/DC, with 18 songs on disc-$40
Am I the only one who see something seriously wrong with this picture?!

Will you be able to rent this from anywhere, or is Walmart's exclusive ACDC assrape preventing that? If so, rent, import songs, return game. $40 saved. Somehow though I'm sure it isn't that easy.
Seems like the easy thing to do here is to either:
A. Wait it out. This will eventually get cheaper, say, a few months from now.
B. Craigslist or Ebay it to someone who doesn't get the concept or care about downloads.
Seriously, there's no reason to hang onto this for JUST the achievements. You could buy it and sell it on Ebay this weekend if you want it bad enough and you'll get a decent turn around.

This just seems a bit crap, to be honest. I'm a huge AC/DC fan, and I've always been wishing to play the Thunderstruck intro on my Fisherprice guitar. But to not include Angus/Brian/Malcolm/Cliff/Chris skins is just cheap, especially leaving out the iconic schoolboy outfit, horns or no. And why the Rock Band 1 engine? It's a bit ridiculous, should have been DLC, if not, should have had more songs (there were 23 on the album, 22 if you don't count "Bonny"), if not, should have had more quality packed into what it did have.
at some point Walmart will clearance this for $5 - $10, and then I will swoop in like a.. kidnapper.. at a.. chuckie cheese.. or something more clever than that.
OK heres the deal, and I just did it haha
Disclaimer, I by no means endorse doing this, so I don't wanna hear you bitch about getting caught.
I went into Wal-mart today, bought the AC/DC for my console (360). Paid around 45 bucks for it after tax. Took it home, unpacked it. Got the code off the back of the manual. Put it in my 360 and started downloading the tracks to my RB2 game.
I then called up Wal-mart, told them that my little brother had grabbed the game but for the wrong console, and if I could come in to just exchange it out for the PS3 version. They said that would be fine.
So I drove back, went and exchanged the game. And if about 2-3 days I'm going to go back, return the game, and hopefully get my money back. If anything, Ill get store credit and use it toward a worthwhile purchase. Probably Fallout 3
So either way I made out.
Now the faster you do this the better probably, seeing as the longer things go on they might catch up that you can download the songs with the code.
And yea I'm a cheap Jew bastard, so no hating

I was excited for this, but the price tag for 18 songs, the fact that it's live (I know it's an awesome concert, but I prefer studio versions in my music games) and the one-time transfer just turn me off. Bummer, cause I really wanted some AC/DC in GH or RB.
I'm with Sharpless, if only because
a)it's hard to feel too bad for Wal-Mart and EA
and
b)I like it much better when pirates don't try to morally justify their actions with DRM bitching or the like. Just admit that you're broke, cheap, or of suspect moral fortitude.

As of right now, I'm sitting on the PS3 copy of the game. So in a sense, I got the first game for 40 bucks, now I have another copy. So I think I made out with around 80 right? lol
But I by no means think its right what I did. But its not like I just went in and stole it, there was a lot of shit that went along with todays jewing of wal-mart haha I actually had planned on buying the game, using the code, then going to this game place by my house and trading it in. The guy there took forever to check how much, then finally went online and saw that it was a walmart only thing. So he turned it down. Thats when I thought of the returning it thing, not thinking it would work.
Exploit the system i guess haha

Ug... It's a standalone disc that you can't export into RB2?
I'm an AC/DC fan, but a huge sell of RB2 for me was that all my RB1 stuff would export into it. I'd definitely pick this up if I could export it, but otherwise I'll pass.

Scotty: did you actually read the story? It says there is a one time transfer code which YOU CAN USE TO EXPORT TO ROCK BAND 1 or 2.
You CAN export it to RB2... but only 1 time...
I was interested in buying this until I found out it was $40.. I misread the press release and thought the $29.88 was for the 360 version.
Also @ SpencersGifts: That's fraud... and you're admitting to it openly... not smart.
