Its not over five thouzaaaaaand!

News broke earlier about how Harmonix wanted to release more than 5,000 songs as DLC for Rock Band by the end of the year. Epic? Yes. Possible? Nuh-uh. Harmonix was contacted to set things straight and guess what? It was a misunderstanding.

The quote was taken from Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopolous during an interview at CES 2009. Back then, his quote was: "Â…as the catalog expands from 500 songs to 5,000 songs or whatever in the coming yearsÂ…weÂ’re going to be less constrained from a genre standpoint." It certainly doesn't sound like he was making promises.

So someday, in the far, far future, when Super Saiyans exist once more, we'll probably have over 5,000 songs for Rock Band (360, PS3). Right now, we'll have to content ourselves with the 600 or so songs they do have.

Lol it's nine thousand, not five thousand. At least get that part right if you're going to quote something. Besides, it's totally irrelevant to the Rock Band topic.

They were supposed to have 500 downloadable songs by years end. NOT 5000! Der.

No, it was 5,000 (three zeros). And this news didn't break "earlier". This news broke a few weeks ago. We all thought it was BS then, we thought it was BS yesterday and according to today it was nothing but....BS.

I read in a magazine that they were planning on reaching "50,000" by years end. It was just a typo but this makes it even more funny. A typo within a misunderstandin g...

And you are a troll, kid.



As far as the inside joke goes, not everyone reads every single post. I stand by my statement.

Everyone parodies the DBZ thing, so your point is moot. Stop being asshurt that you didn't catch the joke. It's also still relevant because the joke was *gasp* towards RB2.



GG.

I like your reasoning.



Post something and look stupid, then when proven wrong, remain ignorant. Rinse, Repeat.



I haven't read every post and even I still got the joke.

There's absolutely nothing else I need to say. What I have initially stated is what I stand by, and I have yet to see that I have been proven wrong.



Keep 'em coming.
