How much is the export fee for rockband2 (RB2->RB3) and also is there a code we need to use?

$10 for the export, You are supposed to use a code on the back of your Rock Band 2 manual that was used for the free 20 track pack and enter the code on a website that gives you a code to use on the PlayStation store I am guessing, however the export is not available yet for Rock Band 3 owners on PlayStation 3. There should be more details on rockband.com when the site is finished updating. Also these songs will not be appearing on Rock Band 3.

AC/DC - "Let There Be Rock" (can still be played from the AC/DC live track pack which can be exported to your hard drive)
Journey - "Any Way You Want It"
Metallica - "Battery"
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away"
Soundgarden - "Spoonman"

Some bands from Harmonix (Bang Camaro for example) will also have their songs missing from the Rock Band 2 export but Harmonix will later provide a free track pack for those songs to use in Rock Band 3. These will also not be playable in Rock Band 3, even if they are already on your hard drive.

Soundgarden - "Black Hole Sun"
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Dani California"

Damn it Soundgarden why did you have to side with Guitar Hero.

Not going to miss any of those, except for Journey. Spoonman came up so often in mystery setlists that I'm completely sick of it. It was like the In Bloom of Rock Band 2.

Yeah. True.

Damnit, that Silversun Pickups song isn't excluded - I always ended up getting that one in the random playlists.

I Love that there is already a 1.01 patch today for rb3.

Okay here is how you export Rock Band 2 songs onto Rock Band 3, straight from rockband.com

Exporting Songs from Rock Band 2 (PlayStation®3)*: Visit www.rockband.com/ps3-export Enter the code from the back of your Rock Band 2 manual where prompted. (Note: This will be the same code that you used to get the “Bonus Downloadable Tracks,” but the web address is different. Copy down the code given to you from the website for use in Rock Band 3. Load up Rock Band 3. Select “Get More Songs” from the Main Menu of Rock Band 3. Select “Redeem Code.” Enter the code that you received from the website. Please note that the following songs from the original Rock Band cannot be exported into any other titles: "Enter Sandman" by Metallica "Paranoid" as made famous by Black Sabbath "Run to the Hills" as made famous by Iron Maiden "Monsoon" by Tokio Hotel (from the European version of Rock Band) *Please also note that the following songs from the original Rock Band cannot be exported into Rock Band 3: "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers "Hier Kommt Alex" by Die Toten Hosen (from the European version of Rock Band) "Rock 'n' Roll Star" by Oasis (from the European version of Rock Band)

Some games get a patch on release day so owners that got the game early cannot play online before the launch date, Tekken 6 did the same thing. I may be wrong though. I have no idea what the patch did but thats a guess.

It shouldn't be a surprise that any game has a launch day patch since many of them do.

I'm liking the overhaul of the career mode that presents them like a mix between the challenges from RB2 and the achievement progress page that Beatles and Green Day had. The challenges for playing all songs on easy and getting 5 stars also lets you earn credit by beating them on higher difficulties with at least 3 stars.

I got the keyboard with RB3 at BB since they gave a $15 gift card with it and it's really well made and fun to play with the few songs I've played so far. I'm not that good yet, though I don't know how long I'll stick with the normal difficulties before trying out the Pro Keys since that seems like a more rewarding way to play compared to the five keys that the normal mode uses.

Edit: I wonder if the Soundgarden deal for Guitar Hero: WoR is the cause of the lack of Soundgarden importing into RB3 like GH Metallica is for the removal of on disc Metallica songs.

Unfortunately it probably is because of Guitar Hero. Its a damn shame too since I love Soundgarden but hate Guitar Hero after Nerversoft and Activision pounded the series to death. Rock Band still has the best exclusives, DLC, and support in my own opinion. Especially with the upcoming The Doors DLC.

Is it just the one pro guitar from madcatz that is coming out next month or is their another brand that is coming out? I would have thought it would have came out the same day as RB3. I really only want this game for that. Up till now I never gave a damn about a GH/RB game. I have GH2 only because it was in a buy 2 get one free deal and I ended up getting it for free as the store had nothing else I wanted.

I'm really digging the pro mode concept on the Keyboards. Do i understand correctly that all i need to do to play Pro-Drums is upgrade the cymbols on my RB2 kit?

Is the RB2 export page not there for any of you? Shame that it's ed up.

Also, can anyone explain to me what RBN songs we're missing that the 360 has (and perhaps why)?

Awesome my friend wants to get the keyboard for RB3 and me and him might put half and half for RB3. I mainly look forward to playing One Armed Scissor from At The Drive-In how is the keyboards on that track CAGs? I'm hoping they work on the older DLC to bring in the keyboards on those tracks as well.

I believe the explanation is that they couldn't get it running with the way the Playstation Store is set up. So instead we get tracks 30 days later and only select ones (which I'm guessing is based on sales of the 360 versions)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._Network_songs

There's a chart of which songs are on 360 but not ps3/wii

Thanks for the explanation, even if it's kinda of a lame cop-out. There's a TON of content that's not available on PS3. .

I didn't know Skeletonwitch was available, so I'll pick that up.

I'm very disappointed the 500 Miles to Memphis song isn't available, as those guys are good friends of friends of mine. I'd love to support their efforts.

We get 5 RBN songs/week. The limit doesn't make sense to me, as plenty more regular RB songs get released most weeks, but whatever. Also, the export should be working now.

Heh, the last 4 letters in my RB2 export code were 'KTHX.'

With that in mind, KTHX for letting me know it's working now.

RBN is based on XNA and the deal they signed with MS prevents them from releasing any songs elsewhere for 30 days, so they just release the best-selling songs on PSN in packs of five every week.

anyone have an extra Gamestop code? I would love to have the New Order song.
Shot me a DM

Thanks!
