[Multiplatform] Rock Band - YOUR PLASTIC TOYS USE BATTERIES? PERVERT.

Nope, Lego RB didn't have online. Whoever made that decision was hopefully fired, because it was an otherwise fun game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1) Anyone who doesn't play rock band 3 can no longer get DLC (rock band, rock band 2, L:RB, etc) because it'll contain information that the older rock bands don't understand.

2) The old DLC is not being directly updated for RB3, which means as it stands now, you have to pay for the same DLC again if you want newer instruments to work. The only thing that works with old DLC is pro-drums, because the cymbals have been charted since the beginning, just not mapped to anything prior to rock band 3.

#2 is a valid concern for the bit about having to rebuy content I already own. I'd love to have keyboard support in the old Bon Jovi songs rereleased today, but I'm not going to pay full price for something I already own.

#1 is a necessary evil of upgrading software. Companies don't support old versions of software forever, and eventually the consumer has to upgrade or be left behind. Rock Band 1 & 2 had a hood long run, but I don't have a problem with the lack of backwards compatility.

In response to Omagnus' point, the Wii argument doesn't hold much water when you have games like Viva Pinata that go online for 360. If they were that concerned, it wouldn't be hard to just block the under-13 accounts from taking the game online, instead if crippling it for everyone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
