Do you buy the pro song upgrades in the game itself? I haven't seen anything on the xbox web marketplace.

Ha! I was just playing a random 70's set list and what came up? Good Vibrations!

Since Gamestop has The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Bundle at $99 on black friday weekend I was wondering if the Hofner Bass controller is any good and how are the Drums.
I once heard they were using Rock Band 1 drums in some Beatles bundles. Any one to answer has my thanks.

Ah, cool. So there isn't a "pro Bon Jovi pack" to go along with a vanilla Bon Jovi pack?Ridley327 said:

The ones with the RB1 drums are the "Special Value" edition bundles. I'm keeping my USB instruments on the off chance I'll play Frets on Fire again, but I don't think that'll happen any time soon.

The issue with the store is hilarious, because I had that the ENTIRE time I owned RB2. Now that I have RB3, nary a problem.
Also, I just unlocked the crazy backgrounds. I can see how they could be distracting, but my sister and I were none the worse for the wear.

Two days in a row... not been able to access it. Seems like a great way of losing money as a business.jessecuster said:
Got my GH5 guitar finally... not sure how I feel about it. Been playing with the RB gear since day one and it's quiet a change. I like the better feedback on the frets but it is quiet tiring on my fingers since I do need more pressure to just hold them down. I can see the click on the strum bar being useful, but it's kind of distracting to me and other people playing (this one is easy to solve, turn up the volume!). I'm doing no worse at the very least and I am still adjusting.
Quick question in regards to pro-keys and legacy dlc updates...
Do newer song (if applicable) now come with pro-keys or is this a separate update?
I notice there is now a "upgrade" available for certain new song... is there any discount for just doing the update?

The wife and I had to do it:
How fitting is that last song?

First, honestly, if you want to unlock half of the shit you need in the Career Goals, just do Endless Setlist. We had to actually leave the PS3 running for 18 hours or so because it took about 8 hours to do total. We started right when I got home on Saturday morning at 3:30 in the morning but the wife had to work early the next day so we went to bed at 7:45 AM. Continued where we left off when she got home at 1:00 AM on Sunday. Finished at 5:30... went through about 15 screens of "You've unlocked" blah, blah, blah.
Second, I'm pissed off that our icons don't change to gold. Unless you wear the hair, it's virtually impossible to tell who was actually brave enough to go through Endless Setlist. That makes me sad because I wore that as a badge of honor in RB2.
Third, I really can't wait until the damned Fender guitar comes out. Seriously... I need to do the Pro guitar and bass stuff with a real instrument and not that Mustang rip off. It's imperative to my well being as a human being! :lol

Not as deep as he thinks
I also finished the Endless Setlist III on Friday night on guitar. That shit took a long time and it was very painful as most of the Rock Band 3 setlist isn't fun on guitar. I also thought you'd get the icon (silver, gold) like in Rock Band 2, but you don't which is VERY disappointing. All you get is some worthless clothes accesory for all that effort. :/

I wouldn't be surprised if they remove all DLC once the next generation of consoles are being released. That's a few years away, but still... If there is something I don't expect to be transfered over to the next gen consoles, it's RB DLC.mrklaw said:

God, I hope not. That'd counter all their talk of a "platform." If DLC (including exports) transfer over, then I'm definitely going to continue to the next gen of consoles and RB4. If not... well, RB3 is good enough for me anyhow.

Rock Band related... I found myself seriously considering doing the Rock Band 2 BoS achievement yesterday. I barely get 6 hours for gaming a week lately so I have no idea why I was even thinking about doing that. :lol

This is precisely why I decided against getting RB3. I've spent over $500 on DLC with RB2 and then something clicked in my brain that I wouldn't be able to transfer these songs in the future. RB3 isn't affected, but I'm not throwing another dollar towards the "platform" until there are some assurances about next gen...and considering the state of affairs Harmonix is in, I'm not sure I want to be putting money into a potentially dying product. And if artists are having songs pulled already...

I was wondering how non-Spanish speakers would deal with Juanes...
Ugh, I pre-ordered 2 adapters for 360 back on October 9th when I saw the price was $10 cheaper than the MSRP. I saw yesterday that the date was moved to December, but my order still said it would deliver in November. I figured maybe they were just putting a delayed date for any new orders that are coming in, like they did with the Mustang. But I just checked my order and now the delivery estimate is December. :|RotBot said:
I've been waiting this long to play pro drums with my e-drums, no way I'm about to shell out money for cymbals or a new RB kit. My RB2 drums are starting to drop notes lately.
I have a really dumb question.
If I buy the keyboard only from Europe, will it work on my US system and US game?
I've never heard of peripheral region lock, but you never know...
Edit: I'm aware that the game is Region Free, but DLC is per region. I'm talking about the keyboard ONLY.
Edit2: It's also cheaper for me to import from Europe than from US. The keyboard at least.

I think I've read about Europeans importing, so it'll probably be fine. I'm not too sure though.

I got mine from Gameshark.com about 1 week ago, so it seems they're instock there at least (PS3 version).
It works even better than I imagined. I thought it might introduce additional lag into my system, but that's not the case at all. I kept the same calibration and it's dead on.
Now, my only complaint: When using pro drums (and therefore a real drum kit), you can't hold down the foot pedal to scroll through categories while browsing your music. You can hit it to skip around, but that's it. Not the end of the world, but it's nice to have browsing options when you're pushing the 1000 song mark.
should work no problem. On PS3 at least. Don't know that much about Microsoft's whacky hardware locks.
Yes, to clear up things a bit, I'm talking about the 360 versions.drmcclin said:
Yeah, but they import the bundle (US game and keyboard on an EURO system). I'm talking about EURO Keyboard on US game and system.firehawk12 said:
I'm not worried it wouldn't work with the console - it has to, since the game is Region Free. I'm worried about the game not identifying the keyboard (maybe it has a different identifier? I don't know)

Same thing happens with the stock RB drums if you use a splitter on the pedal. I bought a splitter over a year ago and cannot do the "hold to sort" thing anymore unless I dont use the splitter.drmcclin said:

Supposed to be some announcements today.....I'm guessing next week's DLC will be announced today due to the holidays.
Picked up most of Imagine. Not quite enough of a fan to want to play 6+ minutes of "...Soldier...", or for that matter 2 minutes of "Oh Yoko!" But Crippled Inside? That's a top-grade track there. Also picked up the pro guitar upgrade for How Do You Sleep?, since I'm going to get a Mustang one of these days...
Also, Phantom Limb by Shins on RBN!!! One of my highest-tier requests, finally realized. Shame it's not a regular release, though.
Oh, and my Amazon.com deal Rickenbacker came. That's one hell of a plastic guitar. I've given up on getting a Gretsch.

got my mustang pro guitar and damn its gonna be fun trying to learn pro guitar. Its like starting all over again
Also, im not worried about the next "platform" RB3 is all i need or want and if the DLC doesnt carry over it wont bother me. I dont see a new console incoming for at least 2-3 years. Ill continue to buy and enjoy all DLC for RB3. LOVE LOVE LOVE the damn game!!!

#1 I know for the new DLC you need to have Rock Band 3 to play. (Haven't upgraded yet, still using RB2.) But am I safe to purchase older DLC and play it on my Rock Band 2 disc? Looking at the Nirvana packs which are on sale.
#2 Did they really take out the crowd singing along to songs in Rock Band 3? That was one of my favorite things about the series and I don't know why they would get rid of that.

They didn't take out crowd singalongs, but no RB3 tracks or recent DLC have them. For whatever reason, they've quit doing them.

CCR pack is one of the best they've ever released.
jgkspsx said:
Thanks for the heads-up. I grabbed the two Nirvana packs last night. Almost grabbed the Gaga pack but held up, glad I did now!
Also, is there a dedicated Rock Band DLC thread? I couldn't find it through 'search.' I want to bookmark the threads where the Rock Band DLC sales are announced, where do I go?
edit: 12 songs for 400 pts? Damn, that's like a Steam sale. If Harmonix goes down they are gonna go down right I guess.
edit2: vvvvv thanks!

WTF is up with the store? I've not been able to get into it for the last week. Admittedly I've only been trying a couple of times a day but I just can't get it to work any more.
