The DLC code is a separate SKU on it's own receipt, they have to go back in and ring it up separately. This is what they had to do when I got Vanquish last week. I'd just go back to the store and ask them for it.

Now? Maybe the madcatz premium guitar?Najaf said:
Wait for the pro guitar!
In general if the song has an "easy" rating for pro keys, there will be less going on, which often means very small parts. For example the INXS song is pretty much you hitting the same chord over and over...but don't worry, once you start playing stuff that is 2+ difficulty, you won't be bored.bounchfx said:
As for difficulty progression, this is how it seems so far:
Easy: single notes, parts transposed an octave to avoid shifting
Medium: two note chords, parts generally transposed to avoid shifting
Hard: three note chords, less transposition, fast parts still slightly simplified
Expert: actual keyboard part
This is just my observation, I am not very good (can sightread most stuff in Medium, and the really easy stuff in Hard)...

^^^leave your existing exports as-is, RB3 will pick them up just fine.
^^PS3 will get GS DLC and RB2 export when the PSN store updates later today (usually in the afternoon)

This is the only pro guitar I'm aware of, but it isn't out yet.Najaf said:

thanks for this, this is what i'm most interested in knowing right now.Argyle said:
How is the shifting? I watched a video where they showed it, and after the arrows indicating a shift, the entire note lane moved over, including a three note chord that was about halfway down the lane, shifted from the right to the left. Looked tricky, i'd kind of expected it to be less disruptive to existing notes coming downArgyle said:

Yeah, the shifting looks hard to get used to, but everything about keyboards look tough. Can't wait to try it tonight. At least some people are getting really good at it already.mrklaw said:

(Possible?) good RB2 export news: I've been stuck in customer support hell with EA all day, but they say that you can buy an export key through XBLM. Anyone have any luck or were both customer service guys full of it?

Personally, I find "medium" too easy and "hard" too hard in RB. So I either score 100% or fail halfway through (I suck, I know).
This is the one thing I think GH has over RB - "medium" actually feels like "medium" rather than "easy". I was kind of hoping RB3 had more difficulty levels, but I guess not.
It's the jump in the number of colours - you have to start moving your fingers around which can be quite a jolt. I found starting with your fingers one colour down made it a little easier. So you have to either stretch your index finger up or slide your hand uptmarques said:

I'm pretty sure that's how the absences were first spotted, that guys on GameFAQs had popped their code into the Redeem Code functionality on XBLM.thewastedsmile said:

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Apparently you can call EA and get another code, according to the RB Twitter account.Tek said:Hope I can find my RB2 Manual....
One day of poo could ruin my export chances. Has HMX said anything about any other way to do the export without the code from the manual?
I hope its somewhere in my desk....
First impressions:
I'm terribly disappointed to lose AC/DC and Journey from the Rock Band 2 setlist... those were two of my favorite songs to bust out with a full group. This has made me genuinely wary of the future of the Rock Band platform, since I'm not particularly excited about losing more tracks every time there's a platform update.
All Instruments mode seems like an unnecessary requirement sometimes. When my friends and I started the game, we planned to play with two guitars, keys, and vocals... then quickly discovered that the game would only allow for this combination (even though there are only four players) in All Instruments mode. Sure, we're all 'playing', but it sucks as soon as you realize that the vocalist doesn't actually contribute anything to the band in this mode, and that the game seems to ignore any of the band's accomplishments.
As stupid as it may seem, it was a letdown that we didn't see the return of our favorite overzealous band for the intro to the game. The epic road trip from the first game, the highway battle of the bands in the second game... and now we just have some random band on a rooftop? Bah.
The tracklist is great, the keyboard plays like a dream, and the new platform feels very streamlined and a positive step forward (although the navigation is taking some getting used to)... definitely a great experience, with the exception of the previous complaints.

The Rock Band twitter has some links you can use if you lost your manual and need a new code.Tek said:Hope I can find my RB2 Manual....

Wow, minutes ago I wanted to redeem my voucher code I got with the RB3 manual, but... the code is 16 digits long - PSN allows 12 :lol !

Everything Harmonix has done has proper Pro Drums.
RBN songs are a crapshoot, since it's been optional, untestable, and we didn't know about it for the first few months. There's be an attempt to collect that info on the official forums, when those come back it'll be worth listing.
