    Could I get some clarification on this?

    Alright, so I just saw a Wii Fanboy article on the RBN that said that the Wii wasn't going to get a dedicated RBN page. I was expecting this, and always thought we'd just get the majority of the RBN uploaded to the Music Store along with the regular DLC. However, the article was rather vague, and may or may not have implied that the Wii won't get any RBN songs whatsoever. This would pretty much be the worst thing ever, so I'd like to hear an official yes/no.
    I will not remove this until Badmotorfinger is offered as full-album DLC.

    PS3 will be getting a Rock Band Network store where the "greatest hits" from the Xbox 360 make it, but the Wii is completely out of luck.

    You do realize you just linked to the article I was talking about, right? My confusion was with this quote:

    It sounds like they may be able to release RBN songs through normal DLC, but I'm not entirely sure.

    ^ It means you can only get the regular weekly DLC on the Wii, not any of the RBN songs

    Hence the "Wii players out of luck" in the title of the article

    Graa... And I REALLY wanted Anarchy Club. I hope that RB3 will have the RBN.

    This article states that RBN will come out for the Wii sometime in the future.
    Basically, HMX will either find a workaround or implement it into RB3.

    "It's likely that RBN will be limited to 360 and PS3 until the next version of Rock Band is released."

    I'm not sure where IGN got that it was "likely" to come to the Wii, but it could become possible with Rock Band 3 it seems.

    Rather than having the RBN store in game, they could have a channel that allows the purchase and download of RBN material.

    Seem feasible?
