Losing Journey makes very little sense to me. That's a big loss. If GH: RHCP is true, that's probably the reason behind losing Dani California and now Give It Away.

Journey is the biggest WTF. Damn, I am mad about that. Loved "Any Way You Want It."

Journey and the HMX stuff not exporting are the most annoying. Waiting for my download to finish. I pray that Honest Bob made it though.

It didn't. All 9 Harmonix songs from RB2 aren't exportable.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
No Battery or Any Way You Want It is a bummer for sure. Also, no Visions? :(

It's ridiculous that songs from RB2 are missing. I thought only RB1 was where they didn't plan ahead enough and didn't license for future use. By the time RB2 was being developed, I thought they figure this crap out so that any disc songs from that point on would be forward compatible. Really sad.

I hate this licensing BS. Why even bother putting any songs-on disc if they won't transfer forward. Just give us a trackless disc and make us download the songs. Shessh. It's a bad thing for a song to be on-disc nowadays. Especially stupid situation if one song is held back because it's on disc but the rest of the album is not because it's DLC.

Maybe the Journey thing is akin to Run to the Hills cover not transferring. Like HMx didn't want to bother with licensing an old track if they were going to put up a new version later.

You know, i am sure that after the whole RB1 fiasco they said from here on out all songs were being licenced with future games in mind.

On Journey if you are right an they will be re-releasing it with keys i will forgive them.

It's just kinda weird to see that we're losing far more songs from RB2 than we did in RB1 (one of which was eventually compensated with a master). I don't understand why they didn't license the RB2 disc songs for the "platform", as they should have learned from the RB1 export.

Visions was one of the funnest drum songs for me, god dammit. that really makes me sad. it was always my 'last song'.

The game is really fun though, outside of my green cymbal being a piece of shit.. gonna try to swap it out later. Pro keys are fucking hard! can't even do chords lol, shit is too confusing to read still. Pro drums are so awesome though.

Fuck! I liked all those songs. Shoulder to The Plow was right there with visions in terms of fun for drums. Same with Spoonman. FUCK. I hope they're DLC.

While you are right in what you are trying to say, its not the point. I never ONCE put RB1 back in to play one or two songs that didnt export, and especially now since they will not have pro drums.

You can play those, along with the 2 RB1 songs that didn't export all you want in RB2.

But most people, myself included, are never going to put the RB2 disc into their system again. Not worth it after playing with all the new features and UI changes.

Of course you can, it wouldn't make sense if they blocked them from that disc. It's just a shame since I'm never going to put in RB2 for a couple songs.

Sure you can, but what happened to the whole idea of a "platform"???

I agree, RB4 should be a polished engine with whatever new features for $25 with NO songs since it seems HMX can't license things for more than a single game due to hats 'o money.

So when people say 'no RHCP, no Soundgarden, no Journey', etc, etc, its just referring ot the on disc stuff, not my downloads, right? So I lose Any Way You Want It (which is a load of bullshit), but I've still got Don't Stop Believin'... right? Right?

Losing any song is bullshit though, I thought all the issues in RB1 were with not knowing about eventual licencing issues, and therefore there should be no problems now.

Harmonix really dropped the ball on this one. "Hey, lets not announce the export list until the day of release because, ya know, we fucked up, but people will be too busy playing RB 3 to notice." Yeah, that's the impression that I get.

Those songs didn't export from RB1, so nothing else is held back? Nothing from RB1/Lego/GD ( :lol )

You know what, you may be right! I mean, its known 14 songs didnt export and thats 14 and it is not on the list. But why the bloody hell would that have made the cut and not the rest?

EDIT: Isnt Honest Bob from RB1? If so that list is from RB2 which still means its gone, along with other RB1 songs.

EDIT 2: Maybe. You know what i have no idea :lol But if i had to guess i would say your safe, assuming other HMX bands from RB1 export fine into RB3.

So, it means it will be like Lego Rock Band? One big download? Was kinda hoping for individual files like RB1; to actually delete the songs I don't want. (as in delete them from the HDD, not only ingame)

antibodies antibodies ANTIBODIES ANTIBODIES Wow, that's rather catchy.

Very disappointed about the HMX bands. That's plain weird. I guess that argues for upgraded versions for some of the songs? Unless it doesn't?

I'm kind of surprised at how crassly 1996 the art direction is. Weird.

Also, is it me, is it Wii-to-360 upgrade shock, or are the women much more overtly sexualized in this one?

With the RB2 export, is it the code on the back of the manual? I can't find any other code and it's too long.
Click to expand...
Yep (apparently). The code can only be redeemed from the in-game menu, not the PSN Store/Xbox Live. It then asks you to pay the 800 MS Points / $9.99 and download a 1.4GB file.

Heh, so another Metallica song doesn't export, yet there's a Metallica t-shirt. Surely Master of Puppets on the way or something...

Also looks like the HMx bands are coming as free DLC:
http://rockbandaide.com/9308/rock-band-2-export-details/

Let's just hope Harmonix finally got their future use licensing stuff worked out so we don't lose any RB3 disc songs in the future. I didn't think looking back that some of my favorite bands didn't make it onto the RB2 disc.

RCHP and Soundgarden probably GH casualties.

That just leaves the issue of Journey. Seeing as how Harmonix was able to snag a Journey song as DLC that GH didn't, and DSB is a top-seller, I don't think it's a GH issue. Either too expensive to re-license or something else in the works.

Pre-ordered from Gametraders today (despite the street date everywhere else being broken) for $79.99.

Also saw the Keyboard available at JB Hi-Fi for $134. Surprisingly this means they Keyboard isn't an EB Exclusive, and it's also being sold cheaper than EB ($140).

Not as deep as he thinks
At first I was panicking because of the shitty export news, but damn. I'm glad the Harmonix stuff is coming back as a DLC pack. Still, no Any Way You Want It or Spoonman? How fucking disappointing.

By the way, that GameStop code didn't work for me. It says it's invalid or that the time you redeem has it expired. Wtf? Do I go back to GameStop today and explain this issue? This is B/S.

The guitar engine feels so weird...I don't like it. I have to get adjusted to it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I remember people asking whether or not other people can see the songs you're playing on the PS3...I messaged a friend who was online and asked him and he says he couldn't see what song I was playing so there you go. So lame.
