This is pretty cool.
I might buy it anyways just so I never have to swap discs if I feel like playing RB ever again.

Have all the instruments still just in case, but not sure if I want it...probably want the keyboard too...
My previous post was ill-worded. I did not mean to imply that I am unlikely to play it, but that "ever again" could be taken that way. Maybe sleep isn't optional.
At this late stage in RB3's lifecycle, wouldn't it make more sense to go "free to play" and let people just buy the DLC they want.
I've love a F2P style Rock Band where I only pay for the songs I want. I'd want to be able to get a 80 song set list for about $20, though, otherwise it would be worse for customers.
Compared to hauling out the guitars, assembling the drum kit, and making sure all the batteries are charged, swapping the disc is the least of my concerns when I want to play RB3.
@Sohei
Yeah, because MS would just love to distribute a 5.5gig game to potentially millions of customers for free. All that bandwidth down the tubes for the chance to shave a few dimes off $1-2 songs that they would get anyway.
That would be unlikely with any network provider, but just about implausible with MS's XBL.

@Stahl - The game its only that size necessity it comes with 80 songs. If it went F2P, it would be a small shell of a software download.

I bought this. Explicitly for the reason Dale mentioned at the end.
I will never have to swap discs to play Rock Band. It is always ready and waiting for me. Forever. Thousands of songs ready for me. My disc will forever remain on my shelf.

Play Rock Band 3 all the time with my girlfriend. Buy other rock band games merely to import the play lists. If this is only $19 in Aus too I'd seriously consider buying it for convenience. Of course I doubt it's that price in Aus.
I own four copies of Rock Band 3 currently. Don't ask why. Just know that Apathy loves his rhythm games, especially of the Harmonix variety. I beat Nick Chester when it comes to this shit.
...That, and I honestly don't know how I came to own four copies of this game, but I'm honestly not complaining at all.

@Arttemis @Stahl The RB2 export was 1.93gb for 70 songs, so with all things considered equal (which of course they are not, but for illustrative purposes, we assume they are), Rock Band 3's 83 song setlist would be 2.29gb, which would still leave 3.2gb of the engine, assets, and non-song data required for a "small shell of a software download."
While I do think the "razor and blades" methodology would work well for Rock Band, the file size is still a somewhat significant hurdle.
