Oh man, I made the mistake of doing Party Shuffle only on Metal songs, that are between Tier 3 and 6 on pro drums, whooping my ass.

Just got a shipping notice from Amazon for the keyboard.

The delay in announcing the export info is merely Harmonix doing its Steve Jobs impression. "One more thing... Beatles export."

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Yeah, I mean it might eventually, but I'm not holding my breath for any time soon.

It could, they've already cleared the solo work for use away from the specific avatars and venues. It's just a matter of time, really.

IIRC it was part of the contract Harmonix made with Paul and Yoko, not to allow Beatles exports into the main Rock Band game. That way it keeps a premium on that material.

My cymbals and keyboard have shipped. Come on Amazon and ship the game out already!

Contracts expire and change when the money runs dry.

Yeah, Paul and Yoko are just dying for cash.

:lol: Ok, fair enough, but I fail to see the benefit of letting the songs and experience fade away, tied to that disc that's already been clearanced out in most place.

More like the cash may have been mostly milked from a specific cow (Beatles RB).

I for one hope it happens.

It would be cool to have The Beatles songs, don't get me wrong. I just don't think we're going to get it anytime soon. Certainly not at the launch of RB3.

Just talked to my contact over at the PR firm....

Export will go live Day One. Also, she all but confirmed that some songs won't be available for export, no indication on which ones.

Originally I was just going to buy that time machine from Amazon. Then I saw that 78% of people who buy a time machine also buy a gallon container of lube, and well...one thing led to another.

so ask the PR contact what's up with the stage kit not working. :-(

I did ask that - and they copied me on an email that basically said you're not worth it. /ea

We don't know shit. Hell, I posted a tweet from HMXHenry this morning that said we'd know today. Today is 75% over (EDT) and nothing.

There's no guarantee the export will be live "Day One" no matter how many times it's been said before. Ask anyone with the stage kit.

It doesn't matter much because it'll happen eventually and I'm content with all the new songs and Doors stuff tomorrow. I would like to know, but whatever. At the very least it would be cool if someone in the awesome HMX PR staff would say on Twitter, Facebook, through RBA, or whatever would just say "Yeah, we know it sucks, but we're still trying to get this right for everyone."

I googled "Hate superfro" and got back over 10 million hits. So I'm forwarding them all to you one at a time.

Yeah, of course nothing is guaranteed, but that is what they have been saying forever. Day One, not everything will transfer.

I recognize that they've said that, but I don't think they've been saying that. At least, I can't recall periodic reiterations of that line.
