Yes the new DLC is looking good.
It looks like there might be some bonus content attached because all the listings on the web store changed to "Bundle only" which happens when there are pre-order bundles. It was like that for some of the extra Forza content in some of the packages before the release date.
I imagine the RBC server will stay with HMX.
But even if they're on Azure, think of it like this. If they sell 20,000 copies on XBO day 1, and someone has 200 songs they're trying to re-download, that's a massive amount of download requests, not even counting anyone who wants to buy NEW songs.

Nothing regarding IONs yet right?

Weird Al is awesome news, but there are better originals by him. Hope more is coming.
Really, though, a Foo Fighters riff was the perfect thing to start with.

Got any suggestions? I think Hardware Store would be awesome, especially for vocal.

Genius in France is my most wanted for Weird Al. It would be so fun on everything.
For me to get everything I want for RB4 I need to do the following given my current budget:
Buy the Guitar+Game bundle via Amazon (+34songs) $129.99 USD
Buy Legacy Adapter $19.99 USD (hopefully)
Buy Pre Order DLC as available $11.94 USD (6 songs at $1.99 USD each)
Trade/sell physical copy for MS money and buy Digital (ideally break even)
This will get me a full band setup on digital with the maximum amount of songs I want for the least amount of money.
If I had all the money I'd just get the band in a box bundle and pre-order digitally.

I really wish that there weren't digital preorder exclusive songs, kinda sucks for everyone paying $200+ for the full bundle. Also almost all of the 30 preorder songs for the physical copy were exports anyway.
I asked Harmonix via twitter if an auto bass pedal kick cheat would be possible (my little brother is 7 and would have more fun skipping the pedal) and they said they'd pass it along.

Shit- I didn't think of that. If I go digital, I don't get the 30 free songs. That kinda changes everything. Need my Bang Camaro and Main Drag.
If you're going digital you can't buy a bundle at launch, so it's more than a fair tradeoff.

Are the pre-order bonuses all purchaseable on their own? There's only a couple I'm interested in that I'd be missing.

If not at launch, they will be before long.

HOLY SHIT THAT SETLIST REDEMPTION
I may just have to spring for a digital pre-order now =D

So what Rock Band 4 actually has is an 85-song setlist, except 26 of those songs are split up and divided between various pre-order platforms.
Rock Band 4's tracklist would be killer if they released the entire 85 for everyone. Instead they fuck it up and piss people off my segregating it between different pre-order locations.

I agree. It's some bullshit. I don't even know where I need to go for my songs.
I charted a version of this long, long ago (another guy redid the vocal chart to his taste, and I want to say this video is that chart or something closer to that chart).
It is rough around the edges but still pretty awesome and very, very challenging. There are a few neat ways to map the vocals on it. I'd love to see HMX's crack at it.
The store to buy them as DLC whenever they drop?

It was just released as DLC, with three of the tracks being free, rather than a pre order bonus. A better example are the three pre order tracks from RB3.

To be fair, the Doors pack came out the same day as a game with 83 on-disc songs.

Wasn't it that you got a 3 pack for free in the first week or so, and the rest of the Doors pack was cheaper?

Rock Band 3 didn't have 59 songs.

Rock Band 4 has 63 songs, and it also doesn't have a big publisher like EA behind it.

A Babymetal connoisseur!
Megitsune is definitely the gentleman's choice, hoping we get that in the future.
I had written off getting Rockband with what I thought was an unreasonable "lol, I'll only get it if babymetal is in it," and now I'm in a tough spot.

What is the demarcation point for an acceptable amount of on disc content?
Think about it like this - no matter which route you go, you're going to be given ~70 songs at launch if you go digital and even more if you go physical (even if some of it is RBN rehashes)
EDIT - and yes, this DLC shell game is a side effect of not having your costs mitigated with the backing of an AAA publisher. I'm most excited to have Rock Band on a current gen console with most of my DLC intact, that in itself is worth the price of admission but I know that's not true for everyone.

It still blows me away that there is no bonus DLC for preordering the standalone disc on Amazon.

That's a miscount from me, but it doesn't have 63 songs. Sure, they may have that many on-disc, but if there are 26 pre-order tracks floating around, ready to be played day one, then what we actually have is an 89 track setlist that you can't even fully play. It doesn't help that on top of that the base game is stupidly expensive. 63 songs for £47? No. 89 songs for £47? Yeah that would be pretty cool.
Or you get just 63 because the physical bonus packs don't come with the solus game and there is no digital pre-order available in the UK for PS4.
I'm confused about this- I have most almost all of the physical pre-order bonuses as legacy content. Should I even care if i don't get anew?
This hurts a little too, but I'm pretty sure I have most of it already anyways.

Holy shit dude, that was amazing to see. The vocals seems insane, but really fun. I can see it being a hit at parties.

I just want the DFA1979 song that comes with the bundles on Amazon, but not the disc-only version. I know I'll be able to buy it later on, but it's still annoying.
I understand where you're coming from, but I still feel like the only difference between RB4 and RB3's launch is that in one case (RB3) there was several weeks worth of DLC finished that were dripfed to us in the usual expected and anticipated fashion after the game's release, in RB4's case, they are showing their hand with regard to future plans ahead of time.
If a game is giving you 60 songs and the ability to import over 1000 more, that's a very good value. I'm essentially in the same position as you, I'm preordering the standalone physical game from Amazon, so no freebies for me. From the array of ~25 new DLC tracks, I'll probably buy 6 or 7 of them eventually.

70? My amazon pre-order only gives me 4 songs so the tally is under 70 for me.
I wonder if they've ever considered releasing upcoming DLC for both Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, or if that's too much testing load. I guess the 3 or 4 that came out this year for RB3 are the only new cross-RB3/RB4 DLC.
edit: if they ever do Hardware Store, I think for the sake of gameplay the entire coda would be charted as talkies.

Amazon does not seem to mention the track pack, unless I am missing it. Game.co.uk has a full listing of the 30 tracks.

Huh, another odd thing about amazon, it seems like mention of the 4 exclusive amazon bonus tracks has dissapeared from the UK site listing for the game and adaptor on XB1, weird.
Very odd.
I think I will end up going with Game since I have a few points saved up and the DLC seems to be listed correctly.

I'm confused too. I think i already have many of the preorder songs in rb3 because of the rb2 import. Our actually maybe because they were released in a free dlc pack? So won't i have those songs even without the preorder code?

Apparently, "Super-Sprode," "Shake," "Entangled," and "Megasus" are scheduled to be made available to purchase on October 2. Hopefully we get a good amount of other legacy DLC that day.

I would love to get it digitally on Xbox One but only if I can get the legacy adapter day one. It being available only via disc bundle makes that moot.

Oh, the GAME pre-order song is a bunch of stuff I already got, guess I'll stick with my amazon pre-order, hopefully the UK listing updates it's getting the same 4 bonus songs as the american pre-order.
As for future DLC, guess I'll get these 5...
My Own Eyes - Weird Al Yankovic
September - Earth Wind & Fire
Jane - Jefferson Starship
High Road - Mastodon
Gimme Chocolate - Babymetal (For the lulz!)
