Good point. Coldplay pisses me off in many ways, yet makes me happy in others. They are a big enough band that it would be welcome to have them in the game. Eventually.

I just want Sir Elton DLC, or some more fucking Radiohead finally.

To this day I am perplexed by how little Radiohead we have. Hopefully with keyboards we'll see a big pack of their catalog.

Also, if we don't get Tiny Dancer by the end of the year - for shame Harmonix!

Sir Elton DLC has to be coming. Billy Joel and him have to be the most requested artists for keys support.

So for you people who play Rockband much more than me, are there any tools that I'm unaware of that allow you to Catalogue your music/DLC out of game? I've thrown maybe, 2 rockband parties in my life, but that number is probably going to trend much higher in the following months.

One of the things that I found helpful for the second party was to print out a list of all the tracks/DLC I had, arranged by band, so people could pick out songs while waiting their turn. That was really easy when I had nothing but RB2 and RB1 exported songs, and maybe a dozen DLC singles. But now I've got a lot more DLC and with RB3 it's going to be much more difficult (well, tedious) to update that list. Any tips on how I can better organize this for my guests?

Just have to keep an excel sheet is probably the best way to do it, then update that when u get new stuff.

Better do it soon, since the price goes up in a few days. ;)

I do too. Mine expires in December.


EDIT:
Didn't someone said that the game included a booklet with all 2000+ songs on it?
That would make things easier for Ridli's parties. :p

Wow, thanks! The site is a little rough, but I think this is what I'm looking for. It even has a way to export all your purchased and on-disc DLC to a spreadsheet, cvs, etc. This is going to come in handy.

Ideally, I'd love to setup a laptop/netbook or something where people can search and filter. I don't think they'll be able to do exactly what I want directly through this site, but it gives me the raw data I need to set it up without doing an entire weekend of data entry first.

Does Rock Band 3 fix the problem of having different input lag for different instruments by letting you have seperate calibrations for each one?

Apparently Gamestop shipped my PS3 keyboard and I was kind of worried I would get the game and have to wait for the keyboard but looks like I will have the keyboard early.

I must know this! I like a lower lag calibration for my guitar compared to my drum kit.

Anyone got a link to BBG videos of RB3?

I really feel this thread needs a custom banner so I made this if you feel like putting it up there.

I was going for an album cover vibe so it's not exactly banner sized. I can do something about that later if you like, for now I must sleep.

God damn I can't wait for this game.

they never released anymore Beatles DLC after Rubber Soul, did they?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true, because they have to custom make each video for the song. It's terribly expensive, and it's very cumbersome to play that game.

I can either play the main RockBand platform and have access to 2000 songs with all the updates, or I can play The Beatles.

Come on. Worse, the game is boring. The tracks are ridiculously easy. Not making the music exportable blows.

My GameStop isn't doing a midnight launch for it, but they are for Star Wars Unleashed, so it's like it has it's own midnight launch. woot.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll be fine with the way it is in RB2.

Anyway, where the hell is the RB2 export information, Harmonix?
Is it going to be like RB1 with another title update/patch to enable export through RB2 or like Lego:RB where you redeem a code to get access the RB2 songs as a single-download pack?

Current rumor is that the export will be available day of release. 800 Points or 10$ and majority of songs will export. (Some expect Soundgarden and RHCP to be excluded because there RB1 songs don't export either)

All rumor atm though. HMX is pretty much running out of time.

OK, so Spoonman, Black Hole Sun, Give It Away & Dani California based on their previous on-disc songs.
Strange about RHCP seeing as they have plenty of DLC that I presume will still import fine.

So what's the story with the different embargoes?
Some ended today, but I know Shacknews were told they're embargo'd tilll Monday.

That's pretty strange. I assumed that all exported RB1 songs would work in RB3, seeing as they are treated as DLC more or less. Licensing is weird.

Why would you want to play anything in Lego Rock Band?

EDIT: Seems like the Nordic release for this game isn't until the 28th...

Do you mean their Rock Band 1 songs are incompatible with Rock Band 3? Because they definitely exported and work on Rock Band 2.
I don't see this being true because it would also kill the Blood Sugar Sex Magik full album.

Paranoid (cover), Run to the Hills (cover) and Enter Sandman were the only songs that didn't export from Rock Band 1.

Damn, so much for the full album. Hopefully Harmonix can reinstate the missing tracks when the bands' contracts allow for it.

Dani California and Black Hole Sun don't show up in RB3. Some speculate they could not relicense them thanks to Activision.

That's a shame, I thought with Rock Band 1, they didn't know how the export process was going to work, so we ended up with 3 songs missing. But by the time RB2 came out they would have all licensing issues resolved for future exports.

LEGO Rock Band gave me hope that all RB2 songs would be exportable to RB3, but I'm worried that wont be the case now.

Gawd the wait for this game is fuckin' killing me. Got next week booked off work for it! :lol

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if you can find people in online quickplay that has DLC? Like a "DLC only" filter or something?

Right, I thought they said they had relicensed the RB1 songs for use in future games. And they said the fee was because they had to relicense, yet now they see fit to charge us double. I shouldn't take the feature for granted though.

And didn't Neversoft say they were going to update the GH:WT export feature to include more songs? Did that ever happen?

Nope and everyone called bullshit on them right away when they announced the possibility.

Not that I want a franchise to die and people to lose their jobs, but if this was the last year of GH I'd be perfectly fine with that, just to see some artists become available for Rock Band again.

Yup. And it would also show that the quality product won in the end.

Also, I am mad about having to wait until Tuesday for exporting RB2. I know it is launch day, but it would be nice to trade in the game.
