The entitlement on xbox one, at least for me, is not working properly.

Rock Band 4 |OT| We're Putting The Rock Band Back Together
- Thread starter TheFurizzlyBear
- Start date
export license for those ran out.
Lego Rock Band was a split venture between WB, Telltale Games, MTV Games and Harmonix.
People should have really bought it when it came out instead of dismissing it as a kids game. It had a lot of good songs and had a lot of fun level themes.

For the Umpteenth time.
Exports are not available.
You are seeing the Blitz and GDRB songs that were released as regular DLC.

Thanks and sorry
Wow it is not like riding a bike. I was at the point where I could beat just about everything on hard outside of the crazier songs, but not anymore. I am failing on some guitar songs on medium. That being said it has been about 4 years since I picked up a plastic guitar, and I am getting the hang of it fast.
Anyone the Xone version add C4lukin, no s as a friend. I need more friends to compete with.

Subete no aware
Hrm, if they lost the license for Lego and Green Day, do you still get credit for owning the individual songs if you ever exported those games back in the day?

I'm having a really goddamn hard time adjusting to the RB guitar. It's frustrating failing on Expert where I would have passed with my Les Paul.

Uhh excuse me if I'm wrong but the export license ran out for literally all of the games at this point
RB1 and RB2 can still both be exported.
RB2 just requires strong arming EA for a code.
Lego and GD are totally gone.
Blitz exports just by buying it. and all Track Packs (if you want to count those as exports) are still good to go (Only way to get AC/DC songs)
Then again.. you could always contact EA for the track pack codes too.
For some reason or other, GDRB is much more difficult for EA reps to generate a code for than RB2 or any of the track packs. It's unclear why. There is likely some internal limitation.
Additionally, LRB wasn't published by EA and while WB were for a time giving out replacement codes, they are now wholly aware of the situation and refuse to generate more.
EDIT: Is it insane then that I got a Green Day Rock Band code from EA this morning? The rep did allude to it being a big deal that I got it, but so did the dude who got me my RB2 code, so I figured it wasn't anything special.
You account still processed and paid the $5 fee so you still have a "key" attached to your account.
Would work just like any other export

It's still expired... Just because you can technically get it doesn't mean it's not expired

wait so how I export rb2 on XB1 plz help
You don't. Its not working yet.
The licensing deal expired. Their ability to generate working codes for content they control did not. Of course, this likely violates the licensing deal, but they're doing it.
EDIT: I think I misunderstood you. Yes, all of the exports sans Rock Band Blitz have expired.

Mine seem to work perfectly, I'm just terrible on the guitar since I'm adjusting from a GH one.
Xbone here.
What i really meant was that RB1 out of all the games ripped the songs from the disc which propely was in the license agreement with the bands. If they do it with a pack through xbl/psn it would mean a new license agreement right?
aka it might not work
No, it'll still be for use in a future Rock Band game which was probably in the original licensing agreement, it just won't be available to buy which WOULD need a new agreement.

So why would RBGD or LRB less likely to carry forward?
No kidding. Guitar was always my instrument of choice so I'm sliding back into that pretty easily, but drums... oh drums. I look at the charts on expert and I ask myself how I ever played any of it. Undecipherable walls of gibberish right now. It is painful.
You can't compare LRB with the others as easily since it's not published by EA. GDRB could be a case of the license agreement being different than others, or perhaps that EA support reps are somehow generating RB2 and track pack codes through an old workaround that was closed before GDRB released. There are many possibilities.
EDIT: Did I misunderstand you again? Perhaps you're assuming that LRB and GDRB might not make it to RB4? The chances of that are slim, especially with regard to GDRB which k can imagine would be the easiest to bring forward, alongside Blitz.

A very stupid question but owners of Rock Band on Xbox One but can you use any headset to sing or does it need to be a microphone? Never bought band in a box as it was too expensive and other half wants to sing

What does EA have to do with any of this licensing? Honestly, the ties are cut ifEAwere a part of this we would have nothing.
From what I've read it seems to be software issues which should hopefully be patched. People are plugging in their old hardware which was fine and having the same issue.

The New Guitar is lovely - remember Mad Catz sold the old moulds and template designs for scrap a few weeks before Harmonix got in touch about RB4.
It's nice to hold, the buttons are good, and the strum bar and tilt functions are much improved.
Only a slight improvement over The Beatles guitar, but beats the old Strat hands down.
has anyone opened the stratocaster?
I wanna see pictures
.
I hope i allso can install this strumbar like you can in the old stratocasters

Its pretty much the same as a les paul strummer

Yeah, seems like you need to depress the pedal way more than in past RB games to register the end of the input, which is causing people to fail quick double bass hits as you don't usually lift your foot up more than about an inch.

So how many songs do we get when the exports finally show up?
Well, for me:
Rock Band 1: 59
Rock Band 2: 84
Lego RB: 45
ACDC: 18
RB Blitz: 25
Subtotal: 231 (Give or take a few, delisted songs, yada.)
Now lets be optimistic and add in RB3: 83.
Total: 314 more songs! Most of them bought already. I don't know about you but I hope we don't have to wait very long for these. After all, we paid for them and they were promised us.

It seems, something went wrong with the "band in a box"- version over here in germany (Xbox one). It's nowhere available, even amazon couldn't deliver on release day. And it' s still not available today via amazon or the local stores...so I think, I'll have to wait a few more days?!
Somebody told me, there's actually a new company doing the logistics for this game...

It's the drum set doing it though. Old pedal on new set gives same results for almost everyone. New pedal on old set doesn't show the same issue
So, are the songs from export codes/ export codes themselves included in the DLC you can't access if you switched from XBOX to PS (opposed to "normal" DLC)? Or could i use my export codes from the 360 versions to download the RB1/2/Lego Songs onto my PS4?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but this whole DLC/Legacy complexity gets really confusing if you're not following this thread 24/7, so sorry in advance for the possible redundancy.

Nothing will transfer/work between platforms. That goes for instruments/dlc/exports/codes. You have to stick with the same console family to keep your old stuff.
Guitar and game (PS4) just arrived at my work. Fantastic deal as it worked out at less than £80 with cashback through Bespoke Offers. Surprised it came so quick as we only ordered it on Sunday. Only downside is it's my Christmas present off the Mrs and I now have to wait 78 days to play it!

You should tell her that there are numerous reports of faulty strumbars on these guitars and that you have to make sure yours is fine, imagine the return window expiring. That would suck, right?

Anyone else order from best buy and not have their pre-order code?
Says an email was sent, but that's bullshit

Thanks for the answer. Thats unfortunate, thought i could at least transfer something from my huge RB collection. Still on the fence with RB4 because of that and the huge entry price of 160. That's way too high for my liking, can't remeber ever paying so much for RB or GH in the past. Those two points combined will keep me from buying for this year at least i think.
So I gave the RB4 guitar a whirl last night and I just can't get overdrive to work. It was literally at the point where I had to stop playing notes and flail the thing around like mad for it to kick in. Is there a trick to this? I'm really missing my star power button on the world tour guitar right about now.
Also note I'm left handed so using the guitar inverted.
