Haha, skulle vara trist, tror inte det men man vet aldrig
Jävlar va mycket bra låtar, känns bra att man avbokade GH3 efter att ha lirat igenom det hos polaren och insett att det bara är SKITMUSIK I GUITAR HERO 3, (det finns en handfull bra låtar, men inte på långa vägar väger dom upp resten av skitlåtarna)
Kan man ju lägga pengarna man sparade in där på DLC (skulle vilket fall som helst köpt Rock Band)

Ursäkta uttrycket men jag tror jag pissar på mig, herregud vilken låtlista Rock Band har! Det är som om de tagit min party-playlist och kört den rakt in i spelet. Arghh, mars har aldrig känts så långt borta (om det nu är mars som gäller för EU-releasen, men jag skulle våga sätta en balja skit på att det är det).
Hur mycket i cash motsvarar 400 poäng?
köpa via live lite mindre än 40kr.
