The charts will most definitely change. There was a roll in Wanted Dead or Alive that was not charted back in RB1. That will most assuredly be in there. I'm sure there will be other changes as well.

I haven't gone back through very extensively, but the engine doesn't automagically find rolls and trills on its own?

Yeah. I'm sight-reading Easy Pro keys, and I'm not at all a keyboardist, yet somehow I'm the 93rd highest scoring keyboardist on the planet...in the top 1%. That means that, what, 10,000 or so people have played keys on an Internet-connected console? I've played every song with keys in the game plus the free Doors DLC, but the overwhelming majority of those I played just once. I really shouldn't be that high.

You guys may want to hold off on that Talking Heads song. It's terrible and extremely boring. I was excited when I saw we gave it away for free a few weeks ago, but when e actually played it, we almost turned it off 1/2 way though. I gave it 1 lighter and I really like the song, just not for RB.

Sorry for the confusion surrounding the DLC announcement this week. The information I posted earlier may not have been the most helpful, partially because it wasn’t entirely correct. A lot has happened in the last two hours. The long and short of it is that we’re going to have new RB3 files that add keys and harmonies as well as add-on content that enables Pro Guitar and Pro Bass. The new information is that the add-ons for Pro G/B should be available for both the new RB3 file and your existing file.

To be clearer, this means there will be three files you can download in the future for Legacy DLC songs where Pro Guitar/Pro Bass is being made available:

* The new “RB3 Version” of a song, including traditional GBDV, keys (pro and regular) and harmony vocals
* A “Pro Guitar/Pro Bass” upgrade for that “RB3 Version”, allowing you to have the whole experience
* A “Pro Guitar/Pro Bass” upgrade for legacy “RB2 era DLC”. This will skip Keys and Harmonies being added (those are only in the “RB3 Version”, but allow you to purchase the Pro Guitar/Bass add-on without rebuying the core song file.

To reiterate, if you stick with your RB2 legacy track and want to upgrade to pro guitar/bass – you will not have access to Keys, Pro Keys or harmony vocals. If you want that latter content, you need to purchase the “RB3 Version” of the file.

As for the Bon Jovi tracks coming out next week, you’ll currently only be able to get the Pro Guitar / Bass upgrades for the RB3 Versions of the tracks, but moving forward you should see Pro Guitar/Bass upgrade options for legacy re-releases.

So basically, there'll be no discounted keys/harmonies upgrades.

Yeah I already see a giant problem brewing with all this...

Oh yeah, you all have probably discussed this already, but Family Dollar has Track Packs for sale for $5 each. They had some for every system. I picked up the Track Pack Volume 2 though I already have five of the twenty songs as DLC. They also had the Metal pack for 360 and country tracks for PS3. Probably worth checking out. Not nearly as disgusting a dollar store as most of them here in town.

It does sound confusing, but ultimately that's no different than the $1 surcharge for pro charting they had already told us about. Except...I assumed the $1 surcharge would be for pro keys, guitar, AND bass. It's disappointing to hear that if we have an RB2 song, we have to buy a whole new version PLUS the upgrade.
