The patch will also bring a revision to the game’s Band World Tour mode in the form of what Drake kept referring to as a raised "pop cap." What he was referring to are the number of fans that can be obtained on easier difficulty levels before hitting a ceiling. This allows players on Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty settings to progress further and with more ease, opening up a wider range of venues, and allowing players on Hard to obtain the "One Million Fans" achievement.

YES.

Additionally, selecting each song will bring up its corresponding album’s artwork and – are you sitting down? -- you’ll also have ability to preview songs before you purchase them. No more hopping on iTunes or YouTube to jog your memory of a song, a small sample of the tune will be cached on your hard drive for easy reference.

I want a single player BWT mode. As often as I can get my wife and friends to play with me, I'd still love to be able to go through it on my own.

The only solution so far is to set up one instrument, and sing as well

HELLS YES. The in-game music store was big on my wish list. Now we just need them to implement solo career playlists!

It's on PS store right now and not on the XB Marketplace.

if only this patch would make Highway Star, Flirtin With Disaster, and Green Grass easier... its like the game is taunting me, there must be some trick i'm not getting to pass these songs

ugh, yeah I just found em in the PSN content thread on GAF

glad I'm not in the country

in-game music store looks fucking hot--I thought we'd have to wait for Rock Band 2 to see it. otherr incremental improvements look good, too, inc. mic latency on PS3 (sometimes really notable)

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:49:37 AM »

Last couple of weeks have been blah. Harmonix needs to hurry up and get a Queen Pack on there for I burn their building down. I'm not asking for much, just a 6-song pack with Fat Bottom Girls, Flash, Princes of the Universe, You're My Best Friend, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Tie Your Mother Down to get started with plz.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:11:15 AM »

Those European version songs (Muse, Oasis and Blur) better show up in the North American store, or I will fucking riot on Harmonix's asses.

When is the Nirvana album coming and how much will it cost, these are the questions I have.

i just smashed my stratocaster in pieces, i am now guitar-less

guess i'll start drum solo

I hope you did it to an appropriate song.

... highway star?

wireless strats come out in April apparently, although i'm still looking at the Les Pauls

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #27 on:** March 21, 2008, 09:42:52 PM »

Next week's Boston Pack is hottnesssss

As for the music store, not all is perfect. It doesn't detect that I've bought Paramore's song (I have, I'm even on the friggin' leaderboards for PS3 drums) and although you can buy through the music store interface, they seem to have neglected adding an option to actually do the (PS3-only) required install of the song without exiting the game back to the XMB. Whoops. Seems like something they will patch in, though.

The caching of DLC is nifty tho.

I bought 1600 points today. I imagine I'm going to spend most of it on RB songs unless something good is coming out on XBLA this week.
