Since Rock Band 1 didn’t see a local release for whatever reason, some of you might not know that, for the paltry sum of 400 Microsoft Points \/ $4.99 PSN US Dollar Monies you could import the entire setlist (well, minus three tracks) into Rock Band 2. With Rock Band 3 launching Friday, Harmonix has announced that a similar service will be available to bring Rock Band 2’s setlist over into the sequel’s sequel.<\/p>\n
For 800 MSP \/ $10 (adjusted for inflation or the rising cost of hookers and blow or something), you can use the code printed on the back of your Rock Band 2 manual to export the song licences. Just select the “Get More Songs” option from the Rock Band 3 menu, choose “Redeem Code”, and enter it there. <\/p>\n
There’s a bit of a snag, though. Taking its cue, tragically enough, from Rock Band: AC\/DC, it turns out the import process isn’t the obvious, practical, sensible method of simply copying the songs from the Rock Band 2 disc, but rather downloading the setlist in a 1.93GB pack. It seems, however, that this won’t be necessary for the Rock Band 1 setlist, assuming you’ve already imported it to Rock Band 2. Because this paragraph isn’t quite complicated and confusing enough already, I’ll just include the words Rock Band 3 here too.<\/p>\n
There’s another snag too. Due to this, that, or the other thing, five songs won’t be coming across, including:<\/p>\n
• <\/span>AC\/DC – Let There Be Rock<\/p>\n • <\/span>Journey – Any Way You Want It<\/p>\n • <\/span>Metallica – Battery<\/p>\n • <\/span>Red Hot Chili Peppers – Give It Away<\/p>\n • <\/span>Soundgarden – Spoonman<\/p>\n Presumably, all previously downloaded DLC tracks will simply carry over without any additional fiddling. Rock on.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to put Rock Band 2 into Rock Band 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8213\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
