    The real question is why couldn't they submit it as 1957, thus giving people a non-Johnny Cash song to fulfill the Decade Decadence achievement quota? ;-)

    RBN Limitation, the earliest you can set a song to in Magma is 1960

    Also no current plans to single-ize the Ozzy tracks

    Interesting that there's such a limitation. I mean, it makes sense - you probably aren't going to see much before 1960 getting submitted to the RBN, and 1960 is generous as-is. But interesting.

    In the wake of the persistent belief that RB DLC will stop forever (and the extrapolation that RBN on PS3 will follow) we get this exchange.
    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.

    People have argued for a while now that all HMX has to do (There are those words again!) is release more content to a shrinking audience and it will revitalise the game and genre. Self-delusion costs nothing, I guess.

    You know what does cost money? RBN songs that only a dozen people end up purchasing.

    Heh.

    The truth is, though, that it can only be pulled by the submitter right now. And EMI has apparently given up in the RBN idea so totally that they never bothered. I think Bullet With Butterfly Wings is also available in the same way. Though I don't care enough about Smashing Pumpkins to confirm.

    Hit 700 golds. Good enough for #108 on the 360 leaderboards, pretty sure completing the Lego Rock Band goal will break me into the top 100.

    IIRC, putting it in Blitz was the only way they could bring it back (due to contract/licensing)

    But yeah, no one on their forums cares about legality or facts.

    Doesn't matter. For some, simply paying for it previously is enough. There was one cat who didn't want to pay the $10 for the RB2 import because they 'already bought the game' etcetcetc.

    They figured that they were better off swapping discs to access 75 songs.

    It looks like they do still have the Pro Guitar for $60ish. You can play normal with those too can't you? I wouldn't mind just grabbing one of those I suppose.
