    I'm kinda tempted by Bon Jovi, they'd be fun to play. I don't particularly want two versions of the songs I have already though...

    I haven't seen a side by side and haven't played the new one but the charts look to be the same just with keys added.

    That's a damn shame. I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for the added keys, but paying full whack for songs I already have seems a bit unfair. I was hoping there would be a way to update some songs that really could do with keys - Baba O'Reilly, half of Lego Rock Band :pac: - but full whack means I'll probably only pick and choose a handful of the best if they're re-released.

    Being asked to pay extra for pro guitar and bass bits when keys and pro drums are included in the regular version is super f**king cheeky in my opinion!!!!!! after all when you consider the cost of a pro guitar :mad:

    They really knew the ratios of guitar players vs every one else there didn't they.

    Bad news for anyone who is sticking with RB 1 or 2 new dlc wont be happeneing for those. It will only work with RB3 from now on.

    http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/09/psa-all-forthcoming-rock-band-dlc-incompatible-with-rb1-rb2/
    Rock Band DLC released after October 26, 2010, is Rock Band 3 specific and will not be compatible with previous versions of the platform. This rule applies to all future Rock Band DLC, whether it's labeled "RB3 version" or not. Songs released before that cutoff date will remain available and compatible with the first two Rock Band titles. Also, new RBN tracks will be compatible with all versions.

    A Harmonix representative explained to Joystiq that new tracks won't be backwards compatible "due to the new authoring standards, inclusion of new instruments, new lighting / venue cues, etc."

    Although it's a bummer that owners of earlier Rock Band games won't be able to play new tracks, they won't easily be able to purchase the tracks by accident. Any songs released after 10/26 will not show up in the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 in-game store, nor will they show up in the standalone music store app or under RB1 or RB2 on the console's marketplace.

    Kind of sucks for them, but I'm sure there'll be no excuse not to own RB3 soon as it will drop to stupidly low prices thanks to poor sales:(

    OT, but I have the feeling this might be the last hurrah for the series...

    AVOID "headphones on" at all costs!!!
    "Am I crazy" is quite a fun song to play along to, definitely my favourite of the freebies

    If you want a quick fix of songs, borrow or rent RB1 and export the songs from that for 400 ms points

    Sorely disappointed that they want me to pay for all this again. Insulting actually. Not on Harmonix, you'll not get these MS points from me.

    Indeed! I never bought the Queen pack, so I'll pick this up ASAP, but I feel your pain. If Boston, Grateful Dead, Bowie, etc. ever get updated then I'm in the same position!

    The way they're going about this is a slap in the face, and is unacceptable!

    Poor show HMX :mad:

    :mad:

    The duck is this? I knew it was a long time coming but as happy as I am that Sonata Arctica finally get on RBN I can't help but feel as though it was a wasted chance as guess what,

    No vocal harmonies and no keys.

    I know that Harmonix are currently revising RBN so that future content can feature RB3s awesome additions but like... no keys or harmonies???

    Edit: Also, any fans of bands under Nuclear Blast should give this a click http://www.nuclearblastusa.com/Splash/RockBand/index.html. It may brighten up your future for RBN DLC.

    Careful, if you get it now, they might "RB3 VERSION" it later and you'll have to pay again. :rolleyes:

    Have to confess a major weakness for Haley also but for what are likely more sinister reasons :D

    It's a piano tastic song though

    The video reminds me of my time spent in eastern EU lol
