First

Jeff Rubenstein replied on February 15, 2008 at 3:58 pm

I can’t believe this “first” business has started up again. It was a quiet couple of months. We’re going to start keeping things more *on topic* around here soon.

[gets ban menu open]

Happy posting!

Saying first is LAME.

Hurray for freebies!

Pelaez  |  February 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Yay, free songs!

It’s sad that Rock Band gets so many songs and GH doesn’t…

tirminyl  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:01 pm

Wow. Very sweet that this is free and I absolutely love this song to boot!

wizardpsp  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Wow this great!!! and freee!!! gooo sony!!!

NewYork214  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:07 pm

i wish more games had free downloads liek this. not into music games so cant use this.

haha that was funny jeff. glad the first thing will be banned lol

knowitman  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. I can’t wait until this becomes available. It’s good to see the artists getting more involved in the game.

Solace  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

lol @ Jeff pullinig out the “ban hammer”.
OT - nice to see the Guitar Hero folks getting some free love.
If you’re listening, Harmonix, we Rock Banders wouldn’t mind seeing some free love too!

Kamahl  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

nice, gonna download as soon as i can

Neil  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

I don’t have this game but it’s nice to see content show up on other days besides Thursday.

cmargary  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

Yep… finally because this blog need to be more professional look with mature and on topic comments… one thing jeff.. you ban the sagar guy right?

Anyway on topic, it’s cool that in special circumstances you add things to the store like warhawk in a tuesday night… don’t forget to add the news in the information board for the people who doesn’t read the blog…

Jeff Rubenstein replied on February 15, 2008 at 4:55 pm

Sagar is gone. Spammers beware.

And this’ll be in the info bar!

Stoffinator  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:39 pm

This is good stuff. Can we start to get Store updates during the week and not just on one day?

Solace  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

@ cmargary
I just checked the InfoBoard and they added it, so you must be psychic!

silentmatt  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

I’d never buy an entire game of Aerosmith songs… but Dream On is a pretty sweet track. I’ll download that tonight for sure.

stennex  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

Great. Also great is Walmart now only suporting blu-ray!

MUGEN02  |  February 15th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

now only if the store got upaded every thursday at midnight.

Macros  |  February 15th, 2008 at 5:05 pm

I really hope that this comes to the AU store, I hate getting flicked the middle finger because I was stupidenough to purchase an Australian version of GH3, thinnking that I would still be able to buy, download and use the US store’s songs.
Please release the songs for the AU store at the same time as the US Store.

Yes I learnt this the hard way by purchasing the Foo Fighters pack and it didn’t work, and I didn’t get a refund.

Won’t be making the same mistake with Rock Band, importing it as I type.

DankandSticky  |  February 15th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

More GH content More GH content!!!!

Chaos911  |  February 15th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

As happy as I am to get a free song, I still think that Activision needs to release DLC more frequently, and at a more reasonable price, if they wish to compete compete with Rockband in the future.

I, for one, would definitely of bought Rockband over GH3, if I knew that it would have cheaper DLC more frequently.

kspraydad  |  February 15th, 2008 at 5:59 pm

I don’t even OWN GHIII yet…but I’ll download it now for future use!

Thanks.

Cool. I’m glad we don’t have to wait until next Thursday to get this limited time content.

skater2  |  February 15th, 2008 at 7:31 pm

Cool! Free songs.

Crimson_Ryan  |  February 15th, 2008 at 11:16 pm

Well, do you mean tonight as in, before this blog was posted? Or do you mean the day after? Because its 2:18 AM here and I’ve gotten nothing.

But, I’m not complaining at all, its free and I’m sure I’ll get it sometime soon.

Workshed  |  February 16th, 2008 at 3:41 am

Are we going to get this on the UK/EU PSN? There doesn’t seem to have been any news on it so (call me pessimistic) i assume one of Sonys biggest markets is being overlooked again?

Youlikeyams  |  February 16th, 2008 at 7:06 am

Will Europe get it, or shall we be given the sharp end of the stick again? I contacted Nick Sharples (Phil Harrison’s PR) about this issue and I wasn’t given many answers. Why not?

dmc2008  |  February 16th, 2008 at 7:19 am

Granted, I love getting new GHIII songs, and it’s even better when it’s free…. BUT… A rerecorded version of Dream On?! That’s a classic track, SHAME on Aerosmith. I would’ve rather had a cover band do this one– at least the vocals would sound more like the original… But hey, it’s GUITAR Hero so I guess I shouldn’t complain about awful vocals…
So I guess we can assume Aerosmith rerecorded all their songs for this upcoming game… I smell a new “best of” CD on the horizon..

Tiran Kenja  |  February 16th, 2008 at 12:41 pm

@Workshed

Fat chance of that. We didn’t even get those christmas tracks for GHIII yet.

Jeigh  |  February 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

I really don’t feel that Aerosmith, or any band for that matter, should have their own Guitar Hero. Sounds like they’re just milking the franchise for what it’s worth and then some. Still, the content is appreciated.

ChaseHammer  |  February 16th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

i might have missed it

but why the small time to be up on the store?

Snap  |  February 16th, 2008 at 8:08 pm

Nice to see a non-Thursday content update. Give us more please, I have money to give to Sony! =]

scuggler  |  February 16th, 2008 at 9:16 pm

just wondering, how come in the featured banner in the store it says “littlebigplanet” under the gh3 logo on the right side? also this only shows up on sd tv’s and sd settings.

Chaos911  |  February 16th, 2008 at 10:29 pm

Yeah, we have a nice thread about it over at PSU (my PSU handle is ZW):
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=littlebigplanet&thread.id=5274&jump=true

Jeff, if you could shed some light on it, that would be great. Hopefully it was put in there as a test, and whoever posted about it gets an early copy of LittleBigPlanet, or the beta?
hehe, I wish…

Prolog  |  February 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

Awesome update!!!

My girlfriend loves this song, so she will be happy, no doubt.

Suntop  |  February 17th, 2008 at 5:22 pm

I don’t own GH I can’t justify spending the money for it. Even tho it can be played on a controller (not the same) I like Dream On I did download it for my Niece yesterday for her machine. Its good to have a freebie once in a while. Freebies sell games. Like Burnout Paradise. Freebie game that you can enjoy driving around and play online (Most all demos never have that feature like Darkness) The online ability sold me the game. So lets keep it up sony. Oh need more arcade games Gauntlet II (as soon as i locate a PSN card) will be on my machine, mahaps get Pacland (Great classic from the past)

Wyverex  |  February 18th, 2008 at 3:24 am

Still no word on whether or not the EU store is going to get this then?

TheManBearPig  |  February 18th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Here Here ! On the EU question. I downloaded it and it does not work on my UK Ps3, any reason why? is it region encoded?

TLSBill  |  February 20th, 2008 at 8:13 am

Alright, that’s it. This blog is on the daily run now. I totally missed this.
