Why am I so ridiculously hyped for this game?! It is right up there with Shenmue III for me, which is saying a lot.

I cannot wait for tomorrow! Actually, my Best Buy order says Ready for Pick Up now, but I imagine that their system won't let it go through if I tried to get it tonight?

So do PS4 instruments have problems, or is this just an improbably unlucky defect to hit at least two reviewers?

Don't the PS4 guitars have a firmware update ready to go?

 

[PAULINK]

Now that I have babymetal, nothing can stop me.

 

[Mit-]

Isn't this game out now? Why is the announcement thread the main thread for this game? I get confused every time I see it bumped to the front page on a daily basis.

Sorry if I'm the one millionth person to ask this.

 

[Kolma]

Just a quick reminder for everyone planning on using cymbals.
While the rb3 cymbals work on rb2,3 and rb4 drum sets. The rb4 cymbals will only work on rb4 drums

 

[Snarfington]

Come on Amazon ship my Guitar bundle
Gonna play American Pie last thing on RB3 tonight, and first thing on RB4. Dunno why, just feels like the best way to jump to the new platform.

 

[Adam Tyner]

Isn't this game out now?

Release date is tomorrow.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

In case there was any question, weekly DLC is once again going to be a thing.

We can probably expect the first new weekly DLC announcement on Friday.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

This is probably a no but does anyone think I can manage to get my preorder out of Best Buy today if I ask them super nicely?

 

[5amshift]

This is probably a no but does anyone think I can manage to get my preorder out of Best Buy today if I ask them super nicely?

No, and plus the system denies the sale at checkout before retail date.

 

[hodgy100]

is there not an OT yet?

My copy hasn't been dispatched yet come on amazon!!! D:

 

[ViciousDS]

No, and plus the system denies the sale at checkout before retail date.

if you order on site to in store and the email says pickup TODAY........then you could get a manager to override the transaction. But other than that.....yes, correct lol

 

[Stanng243]

Have they given any indications to when Track pack or Export songs will be available?

 

[Snarfington]

I'm gonna guess we're probably in the same batch and they'll hopefully get sent later today. Not gonna lie, a little nervous haha. Last time it took this long was Smash 4 and that for delayed a month the morning of release. So as long as that doesn't happen I'm sure it'll be fine!

Happy with that. Hopefully they start strong. They probably need to put the best they got lined up, out there as soon as possible.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Well, I spent 45 over the weekend on PS4 price error tracks and on sale DLC. So in a way, I can't afford not to buy this. Hope that one of the Best Buys around here ends up with a guitar and game bundle that I can use some credit on.

 

[Shadow2222]

Is this really a thing? Mine does say Ready for Pickup today, so I'm tempted to run over and see if they will let me get it.

Yeah mine says the same. I'll try to pick it up during lunch and see what happens.

edit: My email says the 6th, but the website says today.
So...No idea if it'll work.

 

[Shadow2222]

Yeah mine says the same. I'll try to pick it up during lunch and see what happens.

Let me know! Good luck!

 

[Woffls]

Is Rock Band 3 DLC going to stay the same price and still be compatible with RB4? I don't really care for the new features.

Can I buy a digital Xbox 360 copy of Rock Band 3 and expect the export thing to work eventually? Or do I need a physical copy, and does that need a code?

 

[Cheat Code]

I swear Harmonix keep randomly bringing up Led Zeppelin.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Let me know! Good luck!

Will do.

Anybody have experience with in-store pre ordering with Best Buy and getting items before release?

 

[5amshift]

Never

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Somebody take the plunge and go try to get their order at Best Buy. I would but I gtg to class.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Is there anywhere to get the Xbox one adapter in the UK besides the MadCatz store? Preferably a retail store although seems like even the bundle has sold out everywhere so I might be shit out of luck.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I swear Harmonix keep randomly bringing up Led Zeppelin.

They want Zep as much as we do.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Great to hear. I was worried that they were going to skimp on that, after how abysmally Singstar has handled the generation transition. If there's a steady stream of songs, it's more likely that I'll get that perfect song which justifies the entire cost of the setup.

 

[ViciousDS]

Is this really a thing? Mine does say Ready for Pickup today, so I'm tempted to run over and see if they will let me get it.

it can't say your order will be ready for pickup and then give tomorrows date


for example mine says

Exciting news, Vicious. Your order will be ready on 10/06/2015.

so im screwed till tomorrow

 

[Southcott]

For those in the UK that care - CeX have posted their Rock Band prices, nothing in stock understanably yet - but unlikely they will get any either at the prices they offer.

So many bad songs

 

[xKilltheMx]

Never

Yeah this seems to mesh with a lot of what I've seen on the internet.
One success story and like 10+ failures.
Guess I'll just wait until tmrw.

 

[beanman25]

Can you make it easier to find your songs for redownload on Xbox One?

I'm looking now and the songs are in a seemingly random set up

 

[Cheat Code]

They want Zep as much as we do.

First DLC, ten packs for both Zep and Pink Floyd.

Believe.

 

[Got the Shakes]

I swear that half the time I preorder from BB the website will say it's available for pick up, but all the emails I get have the proper release date for when it will be ready for pick up.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Believe.

Full albums of Zep I, Zep IV, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall.

Believe.

 

[GKFinns]

Is there a write up/rundown on what I need to do to make all of my old songs and DLC transfer over to my xbox one for Rock Band 4?

 

[ViciousDS]

I swear that half the time I preorder from BB the website will say it's available for pick up, but all the emails I get have the proper release date for when it will be ready for pick up.

it has happened before with me for NBA 2k.....thats the only game that I've had them screw up the email and they approved it once I showed it to the manager.

Every other one though tells me the order will be available come said date.....I want them to fuck up again so bad lol

 

[xKilltheMx]

I swear that half the time I preorder from BB the website will say it's available for pick up, but all the emails I get have the proper release date for when it will be ready for pick up.

Yeah this is the exact situation.
Website says today, email says tmrw.

Seems like it would be a long shot getting it today.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Did you buy your songs on Xbox 360? If you're using the same account, you should be able to download your old non-RBN songs for free.

There are a bunch of kinks in the system right now, but it'll eventually all work.

 

[Tiduz]

how do i transfer my ps3 dlc to ps4 exactly? im from EU but i bought a USA rockband copy, i still have the account so that shouldnt be a problem, but i dont see a ps4 version of the songs i own?

Yes. I had the 360 version. This transfer is the only reason I'm not getting Rock Band 4 on the PS4.

Do I access them on the Xbox one to redownload them? What about the song lists from the actual games? Sorry for all the questions but I don't wanna lose out.

You'd have to redownload your DLC from either the in-game store or the Xbox One storefront. Unfortunately, you would have to queue each song for download individually.

If you've exported previous setlists, they'll be made available somewhere down the line.

 

[PlatStrat]

Yeah I'm definitely predicting 8.5 at best. 7.0 at the lowest.

Looks my predictions were on point. 8.8 throws it a bit off but still pretty close.

 

[SpideySenses]

Okay, finally finished downloading all DLC from UK XBO marketplace, here are my results...

Missing
The Doors RB3 Free Launch Pack / The Doors Greatest Hits: Special Edition (the version without those 3 tracks)
RB3 Pre-order Pack (Burning Down the House/Blue Monday/My Own Summer)
Rock Band 2 Bonus Tracks
Rock Band Free Pack 01
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
blink-182 - The Rock Show
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Disturbed - Inside the Fire
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax (Come Fighting)

Listed but no free download

The Doors - Greatest Hits: Special Edition
Average White Band - Pick Up the Pieces Part of the delisted Get the Funk Out Pack
Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) Part of the RB3 Pre-Order Pack
Disturbed - Perfect Insanity
Earth, Wind & Fire - Shining Star Part of the delisted Get the Funk Out Pack
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Little Wing
New Order - Blue Monday Part of the RB3 Pre-Order Pack
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House Part of the RB3 Pre-Order Pack

Not too many, biggest problems seem to be associated with pre-ordering Rock Band 3 and the Get The Funk Out pack being delisted.

Edit: Forgot the two Disturbed freebies from back in 2008.

 

[Stanng243]

Did anyone who bought this digitally on the PS4 get the 10 pack preorder songs yet?

 

[iiicon]

Man, I just looked up some of the DLC sale tracks on PSN and they've been bumped up to $1.99. I shouldn't have left it to the last minute. It seems like the albums and packs are still on sale, so I grabbed Doolittle and Tragic Kingdom for $10 each.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Game comes out tomorrow, so...

 

[nevermore2782]

Will do.

Anybody have experience with in-store pre ordering with Best Buy and getting items before release?

I just went to Best Buy a few minutes ago to pay off my preorder, and I learned a couple of things....

one, apparently you cant "pay off" a preorder early in store, you just pay the balance at the time of pickup.

two, according to the guy at the service desk, the game will not be released tomorrow, but on friday. Kind of a bummer, but i'll try again tomorrow anyway. As he was saying this he kinda had his eyeballs pointing up to the ceiling like he was trying to recall something, almost looked like he wasn't sure. (or maybe i'm just hoping he was wrong lol)

 

[Stanng243]

Game comes out tomorrow, so...

Granted, I figured it would be available like the other preload DLC and game itself. I've got an error listing in my download Queue, so I was trying to find out if that was the pack.
