Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Why does it have to be a new copy then? Can they keep track of each individual disc only getting one export? I might just buy it digital if I do it. Seems to be the cheapest way other than used.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Wow 15 that kind of fells like a lot. If I am not mistaking when rock band 2 came out it was like 10 for rock band 1 songs and from rock band 2 to 3 I think was 10 for rock band 2 songs + rock band 2 sound list was not really that good. So we don't know yet when we are going to get rock band 2 and 1 songs? I don't have the game yet may get it around black Friday.

$15 isn't bad. RB1 was $5, RB2 and LEGO were $10. Are there 8 songs from RB3 you'd want to carry over? That would be $16 if they were DLC. $15 gets you 83 songs.

There is currently no timeframe on RB1 or 2. They mention in the questions under the chart that there currently isn't a way for the PS and Xbox stores to display content that isn't also publicly available for purchase. That's the hold up. They also say that they have a solution for that, so we'll see.

If the songs are on rb3 is there no chance of them being offered dlc wise?

Not in the near future. They always do the "never say never" thing, but they've shown no real indication to relicense disc songs as individual DLC.

It's crazy to me that you need to pay at all after already buying the game.

Same as exporting from all previous RB and GH games that allowed it. The initial $60 purchase price doesn't include the price of going back and renegotiating for the songs to be exported later.

Tweet from Harmonix CEO last week says it doesn't matter. Not sure why blog post uses 'new' though. I'd take CEO's word, especially since he hasn't retracted it as of now.

Well used game is no cheaper than the digital download. So I guess that doesn't matter.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

So all I have to do is dl rock band 3? Then I just wait?

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

I still have my X360 copy.

Do I just insert it to my One?

Geesh that sounded stupid..LOL

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

I think it's a pretty good deal. As mentioned, previous exports were $5, then $10. RB3's setlist is the biggest of all 3 and EVERY song exports this time. I'm STILL salty about losing "Anyway Your Want You Want It" from the RB2 export.

So all I have to do is dl rock band 3? Then I just wait?

sounds like you might need to start it up and play the game at least once too.

Hopefully I can play just like heaven and power of love immediately. They are the reasons I'm pulling the trigger on this.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

So do you still need the RB3 disc to export when it becomes available or just have had to played it at one time? Thanks.

The exact process isn't known yet, but it looks like you just had to have played it.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Wondering if I should just buy it used and return it.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Just noticed I'm missing some red hot chilli peppers songs. Seems like the stadium Arcadium ones are no up yet.

Fixed my typo I meant to say that I think rock band 3 song list was not that good rock band 2 song list was great. Yeah I think there are 8 songs but really I think the whole transferring songs should be free really and this is 5 more then in the past. You said something about being publicly available so are you saying that rock band 1 and 2 don't have there exports any more? While I hope they get all the games export soon because really rock band 1 and 3 have weak set list. Rock band 2 is really the only game with a lot of good songs but when you take all the songs from the 3 games then you do have a lot of good songs. Even rock band 4 list looks weak to me.

Rock band 4 list is really weak imo.

I agree. I really only play purchased songs..

The CD list is pathetic.. no other way to put it.. just vanilla.

Even the bands I like that are on there seem to have my least favorite songs by them

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Yeah if there was no dlc in this game there would be zero chance I bought rock band 4. It's really bad.
