okay, it looks like most of those are a part of the Rivals preorder. Even though I haven't played RB4 much, I should probably go ahead and put in my preorder for the free tracks.
When is the cut off date for the free songs? It looks like the PSN Store is down again right now.

Harmonix is referring to them as "pre-order songs", so yeah, it sure looks that way. They said they didn't want to include any songs with Rivals because they didn't want to fragment the player base -- to have songs that people could only get by buying the expansion.

Also, that's weak logic on their part. Why not just include the songs with it and then sell the pack of songs separately?

Welp, I'll be back in the Rock Band 4 game come next week. My copy is making its way to me as we speak. Hopefully they worked out most of the early issues and most of my old DLC will be ready. I will be sticking to vocals to be honest (even though I already have a legacy adapter) since I don't want to screw up my lasik un-necessarily. But I've been missing it for sure and I'm eager to get back to a little singing (since being a parent limits any desire to go karaoke like I used to).

So I'll be honest here, I haven't really followed along enough to know what's going on with the different versions. I got the bundle with the dongle a couple months and haven't dug into it yet. Is the expansion adding anything worth getting right away or would we be good enough with the bundle we have now? I know you get the songs if you pre-order, but is that the big selling point?

LOL, well we are now . (Check your TrueAchievement account too), but yeah I played RB3, 2, 1, etc countless hours...also Lips too. Basically if there is a Karaoke game prior to Xbox One, I have probably played it. I enjoyed the fact that while my Guitar/Bass scores absolutely stunk, my vocals were usually on top or second for just about every song I had.

If you want that, you'll need this expansion. If the songs as a pre-order don't soften the price of that, you'll need to wait for a sale or a price reduction when the songs are available separately.
There is no ETA on when online multiplayer will be added, but it's not with this expansion.

And a single player campaign. Probably worth it if you like some of the preorder songs (Save Tonight is one I'm looking forward to).

Pre-ordered from GameStop last week since I wanted the charcoal guitar.
Still have to order the PDP adapter for the e-kit.
If anyone needs a Rivals band member I'm up for that!

Wait, so this expansion is adding the single player campaign and the multiplayer. What the heck does the original version have in it? Just an option to play random songs?

You can choose individual songs, create playlists, or play through a different campaign (single player or local multiplayer).

It doesn't have "multiplayer" in that you're not going to play synchronously with people online in a band.
It does have local multiplayer built in from day 1, obviously.
Rivals does add a "multiplayer" component directly that allows you to form "Crews" and your local performances add to the Crew. But you're still not playing with your crew.
Synchronous online multiplayer is 2017-TBA but the Rivals expansion is required to get that update in the future.

Honey I'm Good sounds like the music that the old guy from the Magic Mountain commercials dances to.
