    For those of us who pre-ordered the PS4 version on Amazon day one, are we going to be receiving a code for this?

    • Criss Burki
      August 11, 2015 at 10:28 am PDT

      You’ll be receiving a code from Amazon for the 34 Downloadable Tracks that comes with your Pre-Order! These 10 exclusive songs are available to PlayStation Plus members who Pre-Order Rock Band 4 via the PlayStation Network.

      I just want to know if and how I can go about getting these songs if I don’t go digital. I don’t mind paying for the songs, I just want to make sure I get them at launch, since 9/10 of them are so awesome. (Even the tenth I’m cautiously optimistic about)

    • AZPuck98
      August 11, 2015 at 11:49 am PDT

      I have a feeling these 10 songs will wind up as DLC. They’re clearly not going to be on the disk as they’re a pre-order, and Harmonix would be foolish to just burn 10 tracks like that for nothing. And it’s not like these are minor acts either.

      The other question I have is about the theme, will that become available for purchase?

    • skiernan
      August 11, 2015 at 1:20 pm PDT

      Most pre-order bonuses become available for purchase… eventually. You’ll just have to wait who knows how long to buy them.

    Been waiting for a digital option. And love that Bring Me To The Horizon track.

    Now, I’d be great if I could just change the full band kit I have preordered to a bundle without the disc. Or if it included a digital voucher. I seriously doubt many of us loyal Rock Band-ers want a physical copy since all the majority of our catalog is already digital.

    • YetiBob
      August 14, 2015 at 1:48 pm PDT

      +1 for this, I really want all the new instruments and would much rather have the digital copy of the game so I don’t have to worry about the disc. Is there any way to accomplish this without buying 2 copies of the game?

    All my DLC sitting on my Xbox 360 is making getting this a tough decision. I’d pull the trigger in a heartbeat if I could port my monster catalog somehow.

    • RE4LNOiZE_42
      August 11, 2015 at 11:14 am PDT

      @ WRX_Dad,

      I’m in the same boat. Huge Rock Band fan, but the prospect of not having access to my huge RB catalog bought on my Xbox 360 kills any enthusiasm I had for that new game. Actually, I’m considering buying an Xbox One just because of that game.

      Now, if Harmonix can find a way to make cross-platform DLC from previous game work, I’m sold. And that would be feasible, I think. For instance, creating a system where you can have a “Rock Band” I.D. on Harmonix or Rock Band’s website that could be linked to both your XBL account and PSN account could probably solve that sort of problem. BUT I guess both Sony and Microsot would have to agree to this and I’m pretty sure they won’t.

      So I’ll pass on RB4. Sadly. For now. Until I buy an Xbox One, I guess.

    • phatbhuda
      August 11, 2015 at 11:37 am PDT

      Same here. I went from mainly a XBOX360 user to a PS4 user. As such, I own tons of Rockband DLC tracks for XBOX360. So I have to decide between Rockband 4 on PS4 with none of my purchased content or buy a XBOX One so I get to keep my tracks.

    • AZPuck98
      August 11, 2015 at 11:52 am PDT

      “Now, if Harmonix can find a way to make cross-platform DLC from previous game work, I’m sold.”

      Harmonix could solve that in one fail swoop, a global account tagging what you bought on one console is yours.

      Having said that, the problem isn’t on Harmonix’s side of things but rather the console side of things. For as much as I love Sony, I doubt they’re would jump all over the idea of giving you a (insert dollar amount credit) for ALL your DLC just to be freely given to you.

      Same here kinda…huge library on ps3 got an xbox one now can’t move it over :-(
      gotta pass or eventually get it on ps4 once and if I buy one… I love rock band and it’s a real shame that I would need to pay 400$ to get all my songs back or pay 400$ for a new console. i’m not surprised that’s it’s like this but i’m still disappointed and now i don’t even know if I want the game anymore…it’s so bittersweet that we’re finally getting a rock band 4 and i’m probably not gonna get it

      Hey guys!

      We completely understand your concerns. We’re super excited that we are able to transfer your previously purchased content for Rock Band within the same console family, but being able to transfer this content across platforms is a much more complicated process. We hope you rock out with us in the future!

    • Ujn
      August 12, 2015 at 6:00 am PDT

      This is why I’ll probably never be able to buy and play Rock Band 4. I have thousands of songs for Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Rock Band 3, Lego Rock Band, Track Packs, Beatles Rock Band, Rock Band Network, etc… on my Xbox 360. No interest in an Xbox One, I’m a PS4 guy. Wish Sony & Harmonix could work something out to make this happen. Otherwise I’m unable to continue playing Rock Band going forward.

  • OliveParty

    August 11, 2015 at 10:32 am PDT

    Hi guys!

    Looking forward to this in EU soon! A question – I own loads of RB3 DLC songs bought on UK PSN account. I moved back to Poland and would like to use my PL account now for RB4 on PS4. Is there any way to import PS3 RB3 DLC from one account to the other? I don’t mind those track being removed from PS3 after the import, I just don’t want to loose and rebuy all these songs on RB4… or does the import works only on the same account and I need to set up UK account on my PS4?

  • Harerazer
    August 11, 2015 at 10:33 am PDT

    With RB3 being my most played game I can finally move on to RB4. I can only echo the thanks from your millions…AAAND MILLIONS…of fans. Thanks guys. I’ll be preordering on payday.

  • oVeXaTiioNx
    August 11, 2015 at 10:37 am PDT

    The 10 exclusive songs are a seller for me, but I am in need of a new guitar as well, so the lack of a bundle really hurts this option.

  • MarkakaJin
    August 11, 2015 at 10:39 am PDT

    Too bad I’ll be missing out on this release this year. Hopefully the bundle will still sell next year because I have never played Rock Band before and I really want to play with the drum kit.

  • Dragonchasers
    August 11, 2015 at 10:51 am PDT

    Not sure how i feel about this. I have the new guitar + game bundle pre-ordered from Amazon but my old RB 3 guitar is still kicking around somewhere.

    Maybe I should cancel my physical pre-order and use the old hardware. That way I won’t have a disk to worry about (hate physical media!) and I’ll get these 10 songs free.

  • PatricioUSA
    August 11, 2015 at 10:54 am PDT

    I have the PS3 Guitar, does it work on PS4?

    • Runa216
      August 11, 2015 at 11:32 am PDT

      Yes indeed they do. Compatibility with PS3 downloaded songs and hardware is one of the greatest selling points of Rock Band 4. so yes, if your old guitar works still, then you can use it on Rock Band 4 on PS4.

      I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place, knowing that I’m getting the Band in a Box version, but also have to pre-order the digital version just to get the extra tracks. IT won’t hurt too much because I was planning on having the digital AND physical copies because I wanted instruments but I wanted the game to remain on my hard drive, so it’s not so bad.

      Especially since I got Amazon’s PRe-order price guarantee, so I saved like 40 bucks on it, so this doesn’t hurt too much.

    • AZPuck98
      August 11, 2015 at 11:54 am PDT

      While it was answered for you, it’s even more important now that Sony is offering the Digital download of the game. ;)

      Having said that, you may also want to looking into the RB4 guitar controller too. It’s built a bit better than any of the PS3 guitars, and will sooner or later be solely available for purchase rather than Game+Guitar or Game+Band bundles you can get at brick & mortar stores.

  • HeeroCobain

    Any word on how exported tracks from Rock Band 1 and 3 will work? Rock Band 1 being the biggest question since exporting tracks had to be done directly off the game disc and not through use of a code like 2, Lego and Green Day. Also on the RB1 subject, I’ve noticed that “Day Late Dollar Short” is one of the 30 pre-order tracks offered for the physical game, so is it even going to be possible to import RB1 tracks into 4?

    • Criss Burki
      August 11, 2015 at 1:54 pm PDT

      If you have previously exported legacy Rock Band titles (Rock Band 1, Rock Band 2, Lego: Rock Band, Green Day: Rock Band), this content will be available for free re-download within the same console family as we make that content available!

      We’ll have other details on exports closer to launch! :)

  • Thillhouse
    August 11, 2015 at 11:15 am PDT

    I’m guessing the 30 song pre-order bonus for retail doesn’t apply to PSN? So I’d have to pre-order both versions to get all of the potential songs? That’s kind of lame. Treat your customers like they’re fans and not cows to milk when it’s convenient.

  • mrEkli
    August 11, 2015 at 11:26 am PDT

    Sad to see there’s no Keys support even for replacing (Bass) Guitar. It was my favorite instrument for RB3. Pro mode will be missed too.

  • plaztiksyke
    August 11, 2015 at 11:42 am PDT

    I’ve also been holding out on ordering until supports for Keyboard is added back, which I was told elsewhere would be done post-release. You almost had me with The Reflex, but without Keyboard support I’m still on the fence.

    I can understand not supporting the Pro Guitar, which was niche and just doesn’t have the audience to justify the intensive authoring those tracks require. Since the keyboard was a pack-in with RB3, not advertising Keyboard support more heavily is likely going to keep working against the value proposition.

    I’d also like some details on the import function from RB3, Beatles, and the RB2 Track Packs. Do we still need those discs, or will the tracks associated with our PSN ID/Plus saves just carry over automatically? The latter would be swell.

  • jpbslayer

    I honestly hate pre orders like this. I have the amazon pre-order done. and getting them songs, now the only way to pick up these songs is to get this pre-order also. so now ill be at least 10 songs short in my collection– being an avid rock band player with well over 2000 songs of DLC find stuff like this a slap in the face. p.s. just read comment 17. and yeah thats my point also. your coming back, trying to win a community back. not a good start at all

    “more than 60 tracks” is a little disappointing since Rock Band 3 included 83 songs. But it’s awesome that the game will work with last generation DLC and most last gen controllers. Thanks for putting in the hard work to make that happen! I’m glad to see this franchise make a comeback.

    Thank you Harmonix for coming back! I have over 600 songs through the DLC and by purchasing every “rippable” Rock Band game (and yes, even The Beatles, which I wish I could rip….). I’m looking forward to bringing this all forward and getting a new Rock Band Guiltar! Unfortunately, that’ll mean I won’t get these 10 songs but I am looking forward to playing the new game, especially with the voice and guitar freestyling.

  • warezIbanez

    Okay, these pre-order bonuses are getting out of hand. If I were to get the game, it’s from a retailer just in spite of this terrible practice. Honestly, I’m not too concerned about these songs considering how everyone save for Pantera on this list is dreadful to listen to.

  • navcomm81
    August 11, 2015 at 1:46 pm PDT

    I’m sure that Rock Band 4 will be fun, but all my DLC is on Xbox 360, and I’m done with Xbox… so unless Harmonix finds a way to implement cross-platform compatibility or at least purchase verification to allow us to get the same DLC free on PSN – I’ll be passing on this one. Not to mention, the price to get the instrument bundle is too steep…. and my old ones are failing pretty bad with non-responsive buttons and whatnot, just from not being used.

    Until then, Rocksmith!

    • Ujn
      August 12, 2015 at 6:16 am PDT

      I’m in the same boat. Rock Band was supposed to be a platform… except it’s tied to certain consoles. Harmonix needs to get it’s act together and create a Rock Band ID that links your Xbox/Playstation accounts so that regardless of what platform you own a future version of Rock Band on… you can continue to rock out with your previous purchases. Rock Band should be a platform.

  • tk102
    August 11, 2015 at 1:57 pm PDT

    Appreciate the bonus 10 songs for free. Back with PS3, I loved expanding my rock band collection!

    My only gripe is that you will be offering 44 free songs to PS4 owners, but it’s impossible for someone to take advantage and get all 44 songs without having to purchase the game twice (once off PSN and once off Amazon). I unfortunately won’t be able to take advantage of these bonus 10 songs because I definitely need the instruments that I can only get via a physical copy or else I can’t even play.

    Hope you consider broadening the criteria to obtain these 10 songs so those of us who still need instruments can still take advantage of it. Maybe if you sign on to PS Plus during launch week?

    I just wanted to say thank you for offering these songs for digital purchases only as part of PS Plus instead of offering them for retail purchases too for people that have Plus. Now I get to save 250 dollars. I’m cancelling my Amazon order now. I buy mostly digital but you’re offering up a physical centric game with the controllers and you give out better songs with the digital purchase. It comes across as an excuse to try to get people to buy both versions to get all the available songs. Well, congratulations. You lost a sale entirely

    You guys need to rethink what you’re doing here and either offer up the same songs to physical preorders or make a bundle with the physical controllers, digital game and the PS Plus DLC. I’d rather have the digital game but need the physical controllers and this splitting of songs is ridiculous. You’re alienating a good portion of your customers by splitting it like this

    • Criss Burki

    While I like the idea in theory, it seems very counter-productive with the first game on a new platform having this as a digital-only preorder bonus. I like many others will be pre-ordering on Amazon as I will be buying the ‘band in a box’ kit and am a little bit irked, it just seems a very odd choice.

      All pre-order bonus tracks will be available for purchase in the Rock Band Music Store. Stay tuned for details on availability!

    Harmonic needs to stop saying all Rock Band controllers will work with 4 if the Ion Drum Rockers do not. That is incredibly shady. They were official drums with Rock Band branding. Shame on you.

      Harmonix did work with ION in the sense that we licensed our software for ION to create a compatible drum kit for the game. However, ION Audio is responsible for the manufacturing of these instruments. Compatibility is a function of hardware, not software, or it would be much easier to confirm ION support in Rock Band 4! Contact ION Audio to request ION support in Rock Band 4: http://www.ionaudio.com/support/!

      It’s Harmonix’s responsibility to put the drivers in the game. That’s not how programming works, Criss.

    Why would you make this offer ps+ exclusive? It’s confirmed that online multiplayer is cut off, so we done need ps+ to fully enjoy the game.

    Now I think about getting a 1 month subscribtion. BUT will I be able to keep the free RB4 theme/10 DLC songs after the subscription runs out?
    If the answer is “no” to any part, it’s a dealbreaker for me, cuz its cheaper to buy song packs in the end anyway

      Read Criss’s reply to #2. Details for Europe are coming soon.

      To answer your previous question, obviously they made a deal with Sony to make this exclusive to PlayStation Plus. If your PS+ membership expires, you still keep anything you paid for. So you should still have the theme and 10 bonus songs. You mainly just lose access to the free monthly games.
