Madcatz really shafted the EU audience again. There is literally NO stock for Xbox One bundles. Thanks for ruining our weekend..
 
Best Buy only got 2 BiaB versions for XBO, 1 guitar bundle and 2 BiaB for PS4. Jesus. This thing really is supply constrained.

GameStop only got one BiaB per system. Toys R Us got some BiaB for both, and only guitar bundles for PS4.


I am damn glad I went out at midnight last night and got the guitar bundle for XBO at Meijer. Now enjoying the game, and can live without the preorder bonus of formerly free songs.

And the new guitar is so much nicer than the old ones.

Anyone else seen their blitz songs added? On PS4 went to look at my additional content and there it was. Just needed to download. Haven't checked to see if its the full list.
 
So you folks with the game, is there an in game music store like the old titles where I can download my old songs without dealing with the terrible Xbone UI?

Phew! Managed to get onto GAME and they gave me a DLC code. They said it was on the 2nd receipt I got but I only got 1.

The exports are not ready yet, they will be released soon(tm).
 
I'm loving the Freestyle stuff so much more than I thought I would. It's so much fun to just semi-mindlessly hit notes during a solo and somehow it sounds good.
 
Wasn't even hyped for this game, bought it on a impulse purchase today. Got the PS4 Guitar Bundle and whoa, this game is incredible, probably the best Rock Band to date. the freestyling solos are so much more fun than the old style and are quite addictive ti be honest.

Having never owned a Rock Band before (used to just play with friends in their houses and the like) I can see me spending a small fortune on DLC.

OH NO.........got my BiaB at Best Buy as well.....shit, I hope mine includes a game lol

Also hoping my xbox decided to install NXE so I can have the chance to possibly revert. Attempt #2 was this morning. Woke up with a black screen and nothing was responding. Turned the system off and back on to see applying update again.....fucking shit!!!

This is going to be a bad day........isn't it

Does anyone know if there are any microphones that will work with this game for XB1?
It's just the wife and I and don't need the BIAB. I just need the guitar and mic. Thanks for any info.

This is why i am worried about doing in store pickup because bestbuy's site says the best buy near me has BiaB available for both X1/Ps4 and the guitar only bundle for X1 but i dont wanna order it, they bill me and not have it then have to wait for shipping shenanigans.

hey hunchback if my Shure SM58 works with my XLR USB adapter I'll gladly send you guys my mic in my BiaB.....because I know for a fact that the SM58 will be superior than the mic in the box.....its a fricken $100 stage microphone lol
 
Some notes: Ok, you only have 5 hairstyles at the start but as soon as you earn some money you can buy more.

Guitar: I messed up. Played two easy songs and got about 70% on hard. WTF? Ok, calibration time! And turn on Breakneck Speed! Now we're cooking! 100% Sheesh. It was me all along....

Pre-order songs: Jane is there. Babymetal doesn't show up. Xbone. Mastodon not there. September ditto.
 
Well, either game haven't dispatched it despite the email or parcel force haven't left a note to say that it's been attempted for delivery, but either way I am currently RB4-less.
 
Anybody have any disconnect issues on xb1? I get the controller dropout issue occasionally so I'm wondering if the instruments might do the same thing.

Just opened my band in a box...is there supposed to be a code in here for the bonus DLC or is that online orders only?

I preordered from Amazon...guess I have to wait up to 48 hours for them to email it to me. That sucks tho, they should email it when the item ships.

I need some Breaking Benjamin Failure!

ALSO best buy forgot to give me a preorder code :(
So I have to wait 24-48 hours till a specialist can email me one :|

Because on site to in store has them email you after pick-up

As someone who doesn't own any past Rock Band games (thus bought no DLC previously), will all the DLC that was available for the older games be available to buy for RB4?

I want to begin beefing up my songlist in preparation and would love me some more rawk!!!

Edit: Do we know if Babymetal will eventually be DLC for the PS4?

Preordered at Best Buy but getting pretty worried that they wont have stock. Been on hold for 10 minutes waiting to speak with someone to make sure they do since I cannot make it over there until after work.
 
Rock Band DLC has started going up in the UK. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet.

Seems that only songs bought as singles are free, currently. All Star is free but 21st Century (Digital Boy) isn't.

Just checked my X1 BiaB and it has the game inside. What a lovely day!

Good luck to anyone buying theirs later today/anyone who has to contact Mad Catz. :(
