Aaw man I saw that but commentors were saying it might not be honoured
In the future I suggest just going for it, worst case it gets cancelled.

Rock Band 4 announced for PS4 and Xbox One
- Thread starter GameE
- Start date
In the future I suggest just going for it, worst case it gets cancelled.
Two probable reasons:
1. $$$. Cheaper to get a lossless fully mixed track than to get stems and mix them yourself to fit the game audio (and possibly sync w/ the video).
2. No master tracks available for the song (or music video audio) in question.
Interesting. Just to clarify, you are able to buy XBox 360 content on the xbox.com marketplace just fine with money in your Microsoft wallet? Because I can buy XBox 360 content on the XBox 360 console just fine, it's just xbox.com marketplace where I can only use my credit card. There are just times (like right now, when I'm at work) that I'm away from my XBox 360 but find a few Rock Band songs I want to get but I can't because I only want to use my Microsoft wallet money.
Unfortuately, the most definitive news I have seen either way about the Rock Band 3 export is Nick Chester posting in this very thread saying a RB3 export is "currently not in their plans" whereas their FAQ kept saying more vague things like "check back for more news on this at some point". I am totally with you though. There are at least 10-15 songs I would HATE to lose from that on-disc set-list even without keys/pro-keys/pro-guitar/pro-bass. I just hope we in the community are making enough noise about it to get Harmonix to realize it would be worth their time to at least look into it.

I don't think I've ever bought DLC through the website.

More money to bait Zep and Floyd with.
Any word on where/when one could pick up the Legacy Adapter? This is from Mad Catz site:
Question: Can I buy the Legacy Game Controller Adapter separately from the Rock Band 4 software?
Answer: We currently do not have plans to sell the Legacy Game Controller Adapter separately from the game software, but this may change in the future.

I'm planning a party and need this information soon.

Have they said anything about when we can expect DLC to come over? I've never been huge on the default tracklists in these games, and the only thing that'll get me to pick up 4 is being able to play the songs I bought.
Also, does the new solo system work with older instruments too? I assume so, but you never know. I use a RB2(?) start if it matters

They said a while back that they trying to get as much old DLC ready for launch as possible. They haven't given any sort of timeline yet, though.
Harmonix is saying it should be available at launch (just not from the Mad Catz site apparently based on that FAQ) and more info "soon".

Where can I see which songs are available for purchase on the psn website? I searched for "rock band" and only got 24 results.

Is there any way to buy the drums separately later? I want to save the money at first and get it later.

Do I actually have to have the RB1 disc to do the export or can I just buy the key? Also, how does the RB2 export work?
Same. Not surprised.
Back to waiting for legacy adapter info.
They did give a 30% off code for anything in-stock (excluding fightsticks), so pretty much useless to me. Whatever though.

Just got this response to a tweet from a few hours ago:
If you want the Rock Band 3 export then everyone should let them know. The more interest and pressure from fans, the more likely they are to make this happen (I hope)!

$15 million seems paltry when I can remember the day just Harmonix's CEOs got a bonus of $150 million*, but I guess the times have changed. Hopefully it helps
*which they then distributed amongst the staff cause they're nice guys

I'm not even bothered one bit. I would have cancelled those as well if I were them. It was a goof, and they probably can't afford that kind of hit. They didn't need to give anything, really. I kinda felt guilty about the order, but figured they'd be aware and would cancel unless they were adamant on keeping them.

So, anyone got predictions for the last dozen or so songs left to announce? I have a sneaking suspicion we may see an on-disk Coheed song! Been 3 games since the band had an on-disk track. My money would be on "Domino The Destitute".
Also kind of hoping "Blinded By The Light" & "Africa" are in there somewhere too! Oh and "Wonderboy"!

Based on hints given in the trailer, I feel confident about Imagine Dragons, Gin Blossoms, and Strays Cats/Brian Setzer.
There's also a good chance that Everybody Talks and/or The One I Love will be in that last batch.

That'd be interesting. Down for Stray Cat Strut or Rock This Town.

A+, bought.
Rock This Town should be doable. The masters showed up in BandFuse, and the song's appeared in both BandFuse and Rocksmith, so it's not like Setzer's opposed to licensing it.
You have to go to the game it's then click on the "Add-ons" option from within there. There is a split in the DLC when RB3 released so:
Post-RB3 Release Songs
Pre-RB3 Release Songs
I don't think Bandfuse uses stemmed masters, though. Rocksmith definitely doesn't. So the stems might not be available.
IIRC Africa might not have usable stems either.
I've been wanting Wonderboy available in RB for a long time. It's a far more interesting and better song to play than Tribute, but since tribute is the bigger song we get to have that one fourteen times :\
Playing Lego RB for some of the trophies I'm missing as an excuse to try out some of the songs I just bought while they're still cheap. The expert guitar chart for Come As You Are (Live) was so fun to play. Kicking myself for not grabbing it earlier!
Edit: is there a reason there's no Springsteen in Rock Band, besides GH licensing a few songs years back? Would kill for some of his stuff. Still gutted they never did a live version of Thunder Road when we had keys in RB3

Also, Rocksmith didn't get the original Stay Cats version of Rock This Town. It was a rerecorded version from Brian Setzer.
It was because GH signed him as an exclusive. Although with Aerosmith and now Van Halen exclusivity obviously not re-upped (and they had entire games!), there's a good chance Springsteen would now be available. But you never know which ones got renewed until they appear in another game..
It does, it faded the guitar track away as you upped the difficulty. I also know their filesystem pretty well since I tried to reverse engineer it. Can guarantee it used masters.
It did use the same rerecord Rocksmith did, however.
i still cant wrap my head around the fact that i am totally boned as an Xbox One Gamer,,,
the Band in a box does not come with a legacy adapter, and nor do the wired instruments work ( drumkits and those drumrockers from ION)
so i like drumming for most part,, but i only have wireless guitars so i would need to buy the game and legacy controller which is 90 euros in the netherlands,, plus i need the band in a box kit, cuz i like drumming and singing to. and that one is priced 300 euros,
i am so destroyed by the fact i just cannot buy the band in a box and a adapter,,, cause they dont plan to release it separately ....
i just cant wrap my head around the fact that as a loyal costumer of 1500 songs i am left in the dark on the instrument side :*( sorry for the poor english,,, its late in here haha

They have said multiple times that they do plan to release it separately, they just haven't announced when or the price.

I microwave steaks.
I always said that if I ever won the lottery, I'd donate a percentage to harmonix. Really cool that there are some hardcore fans out there with a lot of cash.
man, I have mountains of dlc. I'm going be downloading songs for hours.
I decided to upload my road crew application, it's pretty rough. If you guys need any inspiration just look at my video and say you can do better than that!

Lol I mean it would be cool if they were just fans but they are probably just investors who think RB has a chance of being a big success... Or HMX has something else in the works that someone really likes.

I know it's old news but I just found out that my wired instruments won't work with the adapter. I was excited to play Rockband again but I can't justify the costs to buy the new band bundle and definitely don't have the space to add more plastic instruments to the house.
Prediction time.
Born Cages - Don't Look Back
http://youtu.be/ypeP6sqF8OY
This isn't a song that I desire to have in rock band but more of what I predict might be in the final setlist. It's a relatively new band from the east coast with a catchy yet somewhat unknown song which is right up HMX's alley in terms of song selections when it comes to modern music.
As for the song itself it's on the border of overly catchy for my taste but I think that it would translate to being super fun to play in terms of charting/gameplay.

So right now the only way to get the Xbox adapter is to get the game bundle? It really doesn't come with the $250 bundle? That's insane if true. Is the game bundle retail or digital? What about the $250 bundle? I'd highly prefer digital for this game for easy access, since it's a game I'd never need to sell.
I'm probably going to buy the big bundle since I only have RB1 drums which won't work with RB4 no matter what correct? Hopefully I can sell the guitar since it looks like it's the same as the previous models, and most likely not very good.

The only confirmed way to get the adapter as of today, September 9th, is in the adapter/game bundle.
They do intend to release it standalone, just like they intend to release standalone instruments, but there are no guarantees any of it will be at launch (likely the adapter is, in some capacity, to support digital downloads, while instruments will [probably?] be 2016).
