what time did you get yours? Which TRU? How many were there?

7am

Arrowhead

2

Like I said, good luck. Stranger things have happened though. I know a guy who got a $100 HDDVD player on the Sunday after the "secret Friday sale" at a Wal-Mart in Buckeye.

Holy crap. I just played Green Grass and High Tides on Medium Drums and they kicked my ass. I almost failed about 2 times when I can get almost 4.5-5 stars on the rest of the songs. Throw in the fact that it is 8 minutes long and wow.

I was at Best Buy tonight and I have decided that I want Rock Band, a new gaming system and a 42" HD LCD TV.

I have been very good this year, Santa. Please don't screw me again this Christmas, Old Man.

Of course they were adults. Teenagers are in REAL bands. We adults are just hanging on to our childhood! (And I, for one, don't care, lol!)

I want a home entertainment system!!!!!! Surround sound! HD TV! Cool gaming system! I have four big TVs in my small little apartment and I would trade all of them for one beautiful flat screen LCD HD TV. :( Damn you, stupid college (for the THIRD time) and substitute teacher salary!!!!!

it was definitely the most difficult song that I have played so far.

The Red/Yellow hit, with the yellow/pedal in quick succession over and over again kicked my butt.

People were telling me that Welcome Home was a hard song, but I got 5 stars on it. Enter Sandman was pretty tough as well, but I was never in danger of failing.

Pretty sure my skill level is in between medium and hard right now... I hope I can get better.

I've retired my guitar and picked up the mic. Singing is tougher than I thought it would be. Although I did get a "killer performance" on Don't Fear the Reaper!

I love the mic.

I have only failed out one song on Easy (I'm So Sick) wow that song is hard. I passed it the second time.

I am pretty much in the 90's on all songs now on Easy and Medium.

Jeez. I usually fail every song first time on the mic! The only two I didn't were Don't Fear the Reaper and Say it Ain't So.

Paranoid and Maps killed me. The maaaaa aa a a a aa a aa aps is too hard for me to hold the note the whole time let alone change my pitch during it.

Finally beat it because I hit the power phrases to carry me.

My shining moment was my 99% on Dani California. I don't do too bad on the mic, and I'm adequate on the guitar (on easy). The jump in difficulty between easy & medium on the guitar was staggering to me. I think I'll eventually be okay, but I haven't had nearly as much practice as DCR (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it)

My first time on the mic I got booed off the stage. Should I Stay or Should I Go...it took me awhile to even attempt it, and after that I almost didn't go back again. My voice sucks, but I do okay now.


So, inquiring minds want to know...have you even touched Celebrity Skin?

omg, wait until you unlock some of those other songs. I love the long notes, I seem to shine at those times.

Now, I have failed songs that I know on hard. The buffer that you have on the notes is next to nothing.

I'm sure it helps that I was in choir for a while. :)

Understanding what they want while singing is key.

I fail most songs first try on easy so I'm not ready to even go to medium, let alone hard!

I can't sing. Can't hold a note. Have no rhythm. This game is perfect for me!

I suck at it, but it's by far the most fun I've ever had playing a video game.

I literally have to take a break between songs when I'm singing because my throat hurts.

Nope, sure haven't. First time on the mic I did Say it Ain't so and I beat it, so I figured it would be easy...went on to fail the next 10 songs in a row I tried/retried.

I try to have water next to me when I know I will sing more than one song.

I like to sing anyway, so this game is also perfect for me.

My most shining moment is getting Linder to actually pick up the mic and sing.

I like singing that song. The lower pitched notes can be a you know what at times.
