So does anyone actually do Vocals on PS3?

[Exoduso]

Would be nice lol... we'd have a full band.

[Melena]

10+ years of smoking completely ruined my voice. Trying to reteach myself to do vocals is friggin annoying, especially when you have issues projecting. Maybe if I get bored with drums i'll dick around with vocals and see if i can figure it out again.

Any suggestions for DLC? I've been buying songs here and there, and every time I go into the store I get kind of overwhelmed. I currently play guitar only, I'm pretty decent but not at the level of gold-starring impossible tier stuff. Challenging stuff is good (just bought ride the lightning today and got 4 stars on my first run through, to give an idea on my proficiency) but I don't mind easier stuff if it's fun to play.

Bloomberg.com: Japan

Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Viacom Inc. and its Harmonix studio sued Konami Corp., claiming the Japanese company’s “Rock Revolution” game violates a patent for game controllers that simulate musical instruments.

The complaint, filed yesterday in federal court in Boston, seeks to block sales of the video game by Tokyo-based Konami, plus cash compensation. Konami also makes the “Dance Dance Revolution” game and the “Metal Gear Solid” espionage game.

Konami began selling “Rock Revolution” in October to compete with “Rock Band” by Harmonix and “Guitar Hero” by Activision Blizzard Inc. “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” together accounted for 16 percent of video-game software sales in December, according to researcher NPD Group Inc.

Konami sued Harmonix and New York-based Viacom in July, claiming “Rock Band” infringes two of its patents for simulating musical instruments. Viacom is seeking to have that case transferred from a federal court in Marshall, Texas, to the one in Boston since Harmonix is based in nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Viacom patent, issued Dec. 2, claims it is an improvement of earlier video-game controllers that emulate musical instruments, and cites the Beatmania series of games by Konami as an example of the older inventions.

Konami American depositary receipts, each representing one ordinary share, fell 37 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $16.23 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They have lost 37 percent of their value since the beginning of the year. Viacom’s Class B shares rose 66 cents to $16.29 on the NYSE and have dropped 15 percent this year.

The case is Harmonix Music Systems Inc. v. Konami Digital Entertainment Co., 09cv10206, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Boston). The earlier case is Konami Digital Entertainment Co. v. Harmonix Music Systems Inc., 08cv286, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall).

Apparently they are suing because they took HMX controller's and tried to improve them, go figure.

You mean like HMX did to Redoctane? >.> ...

[Diamicles]

Awesome, they are actually releasing a good White Zombie tune (more human)! Not a big fan of Black Sunshine though.

[Selamis]

Awesome, they are actually releasing a great White Zombie tune (more human)! Not a big fan of Black Sunshine though.

Fixed to reflect my opinion. Very pleased with having Zombie as dlc.
