A big patch for Rock Band was just released, adding an in-game store where you can finally preview the song before buying it and see cover art and difficulty ratings for the different instruments. It doesn’t add the rumoured online mode for the World Tour though, which I’m still hoping for.

I figured I’d give some more songs a fling on Hard and started working my way down the downloaded songs list, but no, I still need more practice. Up to El Scorcho, I could only complete about half of them, often failing out within the first minute, and only five-starred one of them (El Scorcho, since it’s a fairly slow song).

Practice makes perfect, of course, but I don’t know if I really want to give it the hours of dedication needed to break through that Hard barrier.
