Ferret/Metal Blade DLC still available?

[ratsinthehallway]

In Shoe's post the song 'Grave of Opportunity' by Unearth (if I remember correctly) is recommended to get a lot of easy vocals trophies. Does anyone know if the Ferret/Metal Blade DLC that contains this is still available? The in-game Music Store won't connect for me and I can't find it in the PSN store.

Alternatively, is there another screaming song available for purchase that would serve the same purpose?

Or, could I just make a custom song with that sort of vocals? (I've messed around with song creator but don't really understand it at this point...)

Thanks.

I downloaded it just yesterday, but I use the European PSN store. I went and searched the US store in my US account, and the pack isn't there

I don't know if the DLC will be compatible with your version of the game, but if you live in the US and have/can make a EU account, you can still download it for free, and see if it works. Use the search bar in the store (outside of the game, in case it glitches if you launch the store in-game) and you should find it.

EDIT: By the way, the song Debaser by The Pixies has pretty easy vocals too, it's a straight line on Expert. It's not free though. I got it from the Pixies pack, but you probably can buy it separately.

Thanks for the tips. I'll create an EU account and see what I can do.

If I use Debaser, do you know if I'll be able to get the 1,000,000 pt for one song trophy? (Not that I even have four microphones/controllers at this time, but it'd take some pressure off having to get the trophy online immediately to avoid potentially missing out...)

Debaser is about 58k on Expert 1 mic, while Grave of Opportunity is 110k. Debaser probably won't reach 1 million, even with all the multipliers of 4 people using mics.

I did the 1 million trophy with 3 people (easy drums, medium guitar, medium vocals) on Freebird (10 min Lynyrd Skynyrd song ), but again, you'll have to buy it.

If you got 2 mics and 2 controllers (usb headsets will work, just any kind of mic that can be used on the PS3 is ok, as long as you got another controller for it), and you managed to download Grave of Opportunity/Debaser we can help each other out. I miss the 11x/4-of-a-kind/4-ppl-no-fail-expert trophies, and the "host a career" one. Check my post at the trophy boosting thread

I haven't tried to get 'Grave...' yet, though that's probably what I'll do. I would've just bought Debaser if it'd get me to 1 million, but guess not.

Right now I only have one mic. I was counting on using the PSeye as a second mic, since it works in Rock Band games, but it doesn't seem to work that way for Band Hero.

I downloaded 'Grave...' etc. via an EU account, but after installation it isn't showing up in my game. Other DLC I've gotten from the US store showed up automatically. That isn't the case with the EU stuff, and even updating the set list does nothing. Perhaps it isn't compatible, unless there's another method to get the game to recognize the DLC.

You won't be able to use dlc that is from a different region from the game you're trying to play it on. There's no way to make them compatible.

Wow, quick reply. Thanks for that - now I can stop trying

Makes sense in hindsight, since it seems a lot of US people who have other region accounts use them for demos, etc. that don't have to interact with US games.
