crap

Almost worth $30. However, some of those songs are taken from three-packs and albums (e.g., the Police pack), which negates the advantage of buying that three-pack/album, so you have to take that into account when buying this disc. In the end, if you CAN download songs, you'd probably be better off downloading only those you really like.

For PS2/Wii owners, though, not a bad deal.

How many systems can you transfer the songs to? I have two PS3s in the house. Can I transfer the songs to hard drives of each system?

Fane @ Nov 8th 2008 1:31AM

I don't know about this disc or the AC/DC one, but I've been able to put everything on both of our PS3s so far, including the recent 20 song "one time code" DLC. I would guess Harmonix might link the transfer to your PSN ID. Otherwise, I don't see how the disc would "know" it had been read (since the drive can't write on the Blu-ray disc).

As for the AC/DC transfer, they say that it's a one-time only code, but like Fane said, I think they said the same for the free 20-track pack for RB2, so I don't know for sure. =/

blockbuster rental for the tracks.

10 bucks to rent so its a good deal

I don't think that's likely. And if so, I'm pretty damn sure they won't give you a transfer code. Depending on who's in charge of getting things to rental stores, someone has to be smart enough to realize that rental copies need to have the code removed. But then again, people make dumb mistakes, so who knows.
