HOW TO GET YOUR ROCK BAND 1 SONGS INTO ROCK BAND 2

[SYN Classic]

You bought Rock Band 1, you love playing Rock Band 1 then, oh no, they go and release Rock Band 2. What are you going to do with two Rock Bands? You can't possibly change discs during play - that's just silly - so Harmonix have had to come up with a workaround. That workaround allows you to transfer all your RB1 songs onto your HDD, and works a little something like this...

1) On the day Rock Band 2 is released, Rock Band 1 will receive a title update. That update will add an "export" command in the RB1 menu.

2) Hit "export" and you'll need to enter a password, which you get with your copy of RB2. Enter the password and you have to pay. Harmonix promise it won't be more than $5.

3) Pay the $5 (or less), and your RB1 songs (well...the ones on the disc...and the ones they're allowed to port over, as Harmonix can't guarantee that all songs will be available) will be transferred to your HDD.

And that's it! Note this doesn't work for your DLC, since that already works in RB2 anyway. It's just the songs on the disc. Also note that this is for the 360 version only; the PS3 should be the same (though this isn't confirmed), but Lord only knows how the Wii's going to manage.

Note from Classic: This means that you will be able to play Online Band World Tour through Rock Band 2 with all the songs from Rock Band 2 and Rock Band 1 all from Rock Band 2!

I was reading on this earlier as well, I am glad they did this as I spent lot of money on the songs. I like some of the songs from the Guitar Hero: World Tour as well, but then I love rockin out

UPDATE TO THIS FEATURE: A just-released title update to Rock Band will add a tab reading "export disc" to your main menu. Click it. Follow directions, and you'll have 55 tracks from the original Rock Band playable in Rock Band 2.

This is not free however. The transfer costs $5 in Microsoft Points as rumored earlier, But don't worry about the memory too much; word is, the transfer will only eat 1.52 GB of your drive.

Three songs from the first game will not be making the cut, however, due to licensing and rights issues. Those tracks are: "Paranoid" as made famous by Black Sabbath, “Run to the Hills” as made famous by Iron Maiden, and "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.

Overall it's a nice 5 bucks well spent. No Enter Sandman in Rock Band 2 sucks though
