I was showing the game to a friend that plays guitar. After he did a decent sight read of House of the Rising Sun I asked him if he was ready to get owned...

And cued up For Whom the Bell Tolls. Good times.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or something but all the original rocksmith DLC is 50% off right now. It's pretty lame they won't sell the new stuff cheaper too.

That's the default, store-wide discount, and has nothing to do with Rocksmith 2014 being a daily (which is what we were discussing).

It's the winter sale. So it's weird that some DLC is on sale during the winter sale and some isn't, even when the base game is further discounted on a daily deal.

I guess I should clarify. On the low E any slide less than three frets long it's pretty much ignoring. My little ninja guy does a flip, the game yells random advice at me (check your fretting finger! slide faster!) and the little fucker just sits there like an idiot.

So I just went ham and bought like ~200 bucks worth of rocksmith 1 dlc and the importer tool. Question: Do I need to install rocksmith 1 to get all the songs on rocksmith 2014?

I'm not really sure. Rocksmith 2014 downloads a 220mb "RS1 Disc Compatibility" and 32mb "RS1 DLC Compatibility" file. DLC Songs are like 4-5mb each though so I can't imagine that it includes all that data on it's own.

Rocksmith is the first game on Steam with cross-game DLC so it's running into some wrinkles.

I didn't have to on OSX, so you likely won't have to on Windows. I think it works based on your Steam library.

I don't think the first Rocksmith was ever released for Mac but you should be able to use steam to activate the CD key so you can buy+import old Rocksmith DLC for RS2014.

To get the 50ish tracks from the DVD into 2014 you'll have to buy the import tool DLC because they reworked them into different arrangements with a new file format.

Right, you can't play RS1 on Mac but if you have it in your Steam library then you can import the tracks into 2014 on either OS.

I just got rocksmith for my 360! Super pumped. I recently started getting back into guitar after a long hiatus. This should be a great tool for learning songs. If I can get my hands on a 360 version of the first game, I can import the songs, right?

So, looks somewhat difficult to get a cheap used copy of rocksmith 1 on 360. Anyone have a copy they'd be willing to let me borrow if I pay for shipping both ways?

I could be wrong, but I do think you can load the songs from a game the songs have been pulled from. If it's anything like rock band you've got a single use code in the package that allows the transfer.

It's based on having a save game, I believe. When Rocksmith was released they had no idea there'd be a sequel so there wouldn't be a code in the box for that.

I'm pretty sure my left hand has gone through like a dozen fingerprints recently. Fresh out of the shower my fingertips look like they're from a body they found floating in the river.

I just get an immediate "this title is only available to US customers" message when I try to complete the purchase. Should I try adding a new US address, creating a whole new account, or can somebody just help this Euro dummy out since it's Christmas?

I tried but I think it still requires a payment method with a US billing address. Oh well.

Use your normal payment method but change the billing address on it to the fake US one, or is that what you have been doing?

If that doesn't work, maybe your bank is fussy, you can also buy yourself an Amazon US gift card with your normal payment details, apply it to your account details and use that balance, along with the fake US billing address to buy the game. That's usually worked for me.

Huevo se dice argidia. Argidia!
You just need to change your billing address to a US one. I've used a Tucson, AZ address for years and it's worked fine. You will get charged sale tax if it applies to the State you chose, tough. I find the 3% sale tax laughable compared to the 22% tax in my country so I don't even bother to look for a tax-free state.
