RBN DLC Discussion: 11/15 (Xbox 360), 11/20 (PS3)

30 days!!! That blows. I don't typically buy RBN tracks...why the delay? What's the purpose of an exclusivity deal with XBox?

The Rock Band Network is built on Microsoft's XNA platform for independent game and content development. The 30-day exclusivity thing comes from Microsoft's rules for the XNA. Also, Harmonix handles porting RBN songs to the PS3 themselves, so it's good for them to have an idea of how well a song would actually sell before they invest the effort.

St. Elmo's Fire! Sweet. Looking forward to that on the PS3.

I can Swing my Sword might be fun.

So when does "Man In Motion" come to PS3? This is one of my favorite 80's hits (though I loathe the movie). Is there a definitive time for a PS3 release?

30 Days exclusive, but it might be longer due to HMX trying to lock in the holiday schedule early (you know, folks go on vacation around this time each year, and see I listen HMXLachesis), so it might end up being a bit longer. I would expect probably by the end of January, but probably a bit earlier.

Eh, it's nice to see that Taproot is still around, but I'd much rather see some of their older stuff like "Poem" or "Again and Again" come to the network.

Only Vangough for me. The Chaotrope and the Mystakyn ones are too difficult for me, I'm not a fan of minecraft so I Can Swing My Sword is a no no (and none of my friends recognized that song so it won't even be a party favourite). The X-Y song is ok, but not too exciting.

Gold teeth on a bum is the best song of the week.

Come on, it's an acronym! I wasn't shouting

Bront20 is right. Because of listening.

From these two posts

this one
and then this one

it is possible to deduce that any DLC released on November 3 or later will not be coming out until January 15 or later.

Two for me. Not bad.

So will the PS3 stuff (and I guess 360) be announced tomorrow along with the regular DLC announcement?

[DragoonXD]

360 store is not being updated this week.

[nascargo19]

is PS3 being updated this week or are we getting 10 next week?
