Rock Band DLC - The Obsession

January 14, 2009 in Blog comments 4

Patrick Klepek of multiplayerblog.mtv.com blogs about the strong urge to constantly purchase more downloadable content, despite barely touching any of it. At least $150 is a fair bit of money for nothing.

So are they alone?

There's little doubt in my mind that almost $150 of my own money has been spent buying new tracks for "Rock Band," whether it's an entire Foo Fighters album or cherry-picked favorite songs from a pack for The Who. But I haven't played almost any of those songs, yet I compulsively sign on and buy more of them because "I need them...eventually."

    Well if you can spare the money, then whats the problem? They're there for when you have people over and don't feel like playing "Livin On A Prayer" everytime. Diversity is good, and thats what the DLC is for. And they're not forcing you o buy them anyways. Thats what the store is for. Go shopping when you need them. If you don't play the game much, don't buy them. Only an idiot would buy DLC for a game he/she doesn't play a lot. Especially this game.

    Though I do buy more tracks than I play, I'm just one of those people who likes a large collection of playable songs. But when it comes to stuff like Rush and the Foo Fighters, who can say no?

    Meh, it has to eiter be something I really like or something I kind of like and just happen to have an extra $2 in my wallet for. But then I'm not much of a music guy. I have a very small collection of CDs and zero MP3s. But what I have is pretty good stuff.

    Oh and of course I bought Rockband over GH purely because of the Rush tracks. My favorite band.
