So, you need the new game but all your dlc would be available. Downside being that you can't transfer licenses anymore for the discs, so if you haven't done that to bring your disc songs over from 1 -> 2 -> 3 already you're sol. Also they didn't make enough adapters so those are literally hundred(s?) of dollars if you want to use your old instruments. The good news is that epic has licensed out new plastic instruments that are coming soon as a result of the fortnite rock band thing, bad news being they have officially ended dlc for rock band 4 so they can do their stupid rock band in fortnite poo poo. Also epic made you do some stupid account thing for them in order to have your leaderboards, and got rid of the built in leaderboards that were perfectly fine.

Fwiw I have more music in rock band than I will ever need, so rock band 4 on my series x is really nice, because it loads fast and works exactly as it should. But epic sucks poo poo and other than making new instruments I think every other decision they've made is god awful. if you can fix your 360 or get a new one I'd recommend that for rock band purposes tbh.

Microsoft put their flagship productivity software on the Mac ages ago, I don’t see why they wouldn’t love to sell more copies on PS5 and Switch, I absolutely believe they would. They’re already on Steam! Makes perfect sense imo, just another sales channel

I don’t believe they’d get out of the hardware business, it sounds ridiculous at this point with millions of installed systems.

Just noticed that article says it cost £63. Like gently caress it did. Closer to £200 iirc, or about the same as the actual machine.
Worth it.

Thanks for this. Christ what a mess. What an amazing way to screw over your dedicated fans. I think I am leaning to just fixing my current Xbox, and maybe picking up another working 360, to limp along for a few more years. Why do they never make enough converters? They had this problem too when I wanted to use my 360 controllers on the pc and they were essentially unobtainium even when they came out. I did move over the licenses from 1-2->3, so I have that at least.

And this. I do most of my gaming on PC on a big screen, so if I was going to put some effort into rebuilding a RockBand system, it probably would be best to do this.

Yeah for real. And it sucks because I was probably one of the last 5 people paying them money regularly for new dlc, and probably would have forever as long as they kept crapping out songs

I also have a fat PS3 that still works. It's so shiny and looks expensive. I think the best looking 360 was the 360S. One of my kids is playing Lego Star Wars on it right now.

My personal theory is that they are going to just make a console interface for Windows 12 and make some windows 12 boxes that are designed to hook up to a TV and get out of the specific "console generation" game.

This would also help them compete with things like the steam deck by making the windows interface not suck for windows based handhelds.

They can't even make a Windows interface that doesn't suck on an actual PC.

Windows 11 has regressed a ton of poo poo with the UI because middle managers run everything at Microsoft know and refuse any input from their employees that actually understand how humans interface with software.

I have two Xbox 360s, both are the original form factor but I can’t remember if one or both are minor refreshes

One of them is modded, but is now banned from online

The unmodded one has a dying optical drive. Can I just transplant the optical drive from the modded one into the unmodded one?

ok, so if I went with an Xbone, or a series X, I'd have to buy the new console, new game, an adapter, and transfer the licenses to the new console? But I could still D/L all my previous DLC (that was compatible with RB3)? Is it just the old wired guitars that don't work? Cause the mics are wired.... Do they have wireless mics now?

Oh. I assumed you would have a previous or current gen console.
The new DLC songs went Rock Band 4 exclusive back when it was released.

All your song DLC and any disc transfers (Rock band 1, 2, lego, Green day, AC/DC) you've done previously should work on your Rock band 4
You're 3-4 years too late to do a Rock band 3 -> 4 disc transfer. Individual songs from old games (except Beatles) should be available to purchase though.

Wired mics and wireless mics work fine, it's just old Xbox 360 instruments that are borked.
Xbone guitars/drums work straight out of box, but their availability is pretty bad at the moment.
There seems to be a new guitar controller coming for Fortnite (of all things), that should Rock band 4 compatible.


But yeah. If you have only 360 and don't want RB4 DLC, fixing your console or getting a new Xbox 360 seems smartest thing to do.
If you had asked same thing 5 years ago, I'd be 100% recommending migrating to Rock Band 4.

More Rock Band 3.

You don't need a modded 360 to play custom songs. If you have old enough disc version of the game.
You can play custom charted songs from an usb stick, but you need to keep your console offline (so it doesn't update your game)
There's guides for doing this on the internets.
Lot of great songs that never saw light of the day on rock band games. You like Genesis? Some madman charted 90+ songs.
Queen? yes. Michael Jackson? yes. Yes? yes.
Lot of great classic and newer songs.

Whoosh

But on a serious note, the rock band 4 thread is still fairly active and really knowledgeable on all the quirks around licenses and systems and dlc.

Personally, I'd grab a used 360 to play right now and then repair the broken one when I felt like it. Then there would be a backup for swapping between, repairing when I felt like, or even harvesting for parts.
