lol So, your counterpoint is that you've never heard of it? Therefore, you assume that game developers are unaware of it? THAT'S naïve.

Moving accelerometer-based levers aren't exactly the same thing as pressure sensitivity. Accelerometers work, because you feel yourself moving something rather than squishing something. If you had to press the X button as hard as you could in order to floor an accelerator pedal, your thumb would die.

You tried too hard to make sense of it all, and you went off on entirely the wrong foot when you began.

Playstation has had pressure sensitivity on every button for years. I can't remember if it debuted with the PS2 or the PS3, because nobody has ever cared, and implementation in games has been close to zero. We've already figured out that pressure sensitivity is a bad idea in any interface. People invariably assume…

Never give up, never surrender.

Sad stuff. Maybe it's time to invest in one of the high-grade midi-based sets.

Most of the music in Rock Band is from the last 9 years.

"Besides, if we follow the logic of "there are already similar Rock Band games..." Blitz and, indeed, the Rock Band sequels in general would serve absolutely no purpose."

Maybe put up a want ad? I don't know.

Rock Band features practically every conceivable genre of popular music.

So many people are posting the bizarre single songs on which their opinion of a gargantuan game hinges. If you love that song to such a freakish degree, you could cover it and put it in the game yourself via Rock Band Network

Personally, I'm more annoyed by Gotye. It's all just taste.

They do it because uptight people are funny when they overreact to popular things.

If you type a search in here, http://www.rockband.com/songs/finder you'll see five compatible songs. Go With the Flow requires an export from the RB1 disc, and No One Knows won't be playable in Blitz unless RB3 someday becomes exportable.

I got a barely used RB2 kit for $15 a few months ago on Craigslist. Deals are out there if you shut up and put a little effort into it.

I find it hard to believe you've played enough music games to know who Harmonix is. There are always individual songs that you don't like. Always. Suck it up and don't be a prick about it.

Why would you want that? There are already similar Rock Band games for the DS and PSP: Lego Rock Band and Rock Band Unplugged. The PSP one is very good, and has a lot of available DLC. The whole point of Blitz is that it works with our existing libraries from the proper Rock Band series.

Really?! I bought a brand new spare from a friend for like $15 a few months ago. XD

RBN consists almost entirely of obscure tracks charted and submitted by or on behalf of the artists and peer reviewed by the players. I think you just mean the store.

Did you check out any of the portable Rock Band titles? Unplugged was pretty darn good.
