Here's what they have said regarding more double bass songs on PS3:

Dang, so our chances of seeing any more are pretty slim? :/ It is a shame we stopped at 5 x2 bass songs, but thanks for the info. Is it really that much trouble to be able to put out more content for the PS3? I'm somewhat new to hearing the way it works, but so long as they just keep throwing us any of the most difficult drum songs here and there, I'll be content mostly lol.

Those Serianna songs seems awesomely challenging on drums and cool on guitar, I might give them a try at some point.

The limit is 5 per week by Sony. If there wasn't such a strict limit, they might be more inclined to port more.

Is it really that much trouble to be able to put out more content for the PS3?

Short answer - yes. RBN DLC is submitted to Sony same as HMX-authored DLC, which if you've been keeping up with the news is likely in its waning days. It's always been something of a minor miracle that we got RBN songs at all (considering they owe their very existence to a piece of technology that is proprietary of Microsoft), even more so now since official DLC has slowed to such a trickle and may well end altogether very soon. And to that point, it's also quite likely that when HMX-authored DLC is no longer released, we shall no longer receive RBN either, since, as I said, it's submitted to Sony through the same procedure as official DLC. (I would love to be proven wrong about this, Lachesis...hint hint )

So "just release more songs!" is quite a bit harder than you may think. Sad truth.

Did I say "short answer" at the beginning?

St. Elmo's fire by John Parr. Best 80s song ever.

[Graffin]

Sadly I think SheSaidSheSaid may be right.

The music genre's pretty much dead. I don't know why. I can't understand why there's so many dance games out there.

Much like SingStar which has slowed down to a pitiful 3 or 4 pathetic songs every couple of weeks, it looks like Rock Band will also be reducing the amount of DLC. As for SingStar, there's still loads of us that play it and are itching for new content (the demand is there), so perhaps if Harmonix released more, there'd be more people playing Rock Band 3 and Rock Band Blitz.

It's really sad. I would give anything to have a Rock Band 4 (but have it be a blend of RB2's game modes and RB3's features). Having a new set of 50-70 songs would give the genre a bit of a boost I think.

I'd hate for the RBN to come to an end as well. I really hope and pray that the other 2 songs by an Unkindness get ported over before that happens (pleeeeease!).

I don't know if it's purely a limitation placed upon them by Sony. I think hmxhenry and HMXLachesis have both said at one time or another that they (Harmonix) also don't have the time or resources to devote to porting/testing more than 5 songs per week to the PS3. Since normal DLC is reduced, perhaps that's something they could revisit? Possibly double it to 10 releases a week so we eventually get all the RBN 2.0 content that the XBOX has.

Possibly double it to 10 releases a week so we eventually get all the RBN 2.0 content that the XBOX has.

Bluntly, I don't see any future in which all of the RBN 2.0 content is released on PS3.

It takes time and effort on both Harmonix's part and Sony's to bring an RBN song from Xbox 360 to PS3. This means that there's effectively a cost to bringing out a PS3 RBN song. If the song then doesn't sell above the threshold required to recoup that cost, then Harmonix and Sony have effectively lost money by bringing out that song. This is, unsurprisingly, something we wish to avoid.

By contrast, now that the RBN system exists (thanks to Microsoft's massive investment and incredible development at both Harmonix and Microsoft), we don't experience the same kind of production/development cost for songs to come out on Xbox 360. While I hate to be depressing, this means that Xbox will always have more RBN content than the PS3 will.
