the lego dude in the picture looks like jack white with a cowboy hat. which is awesome cause the music video for 'fell in love with a girl' was made with legos. we need white stripes songs in rock band, who's with me?!

you DO realize that Buckethead was the guitarist for Gun n Roses, and that you can play an album of his guitar work with chinese democracy?

Lol, I just noticed the dude in the pic is holding a guitar controller. Even has the little paddle switch.

Maybe that is the guitar that will be in the bundle?

That picture would have to be Jack with The Raconteurs because that hat is brown.
Either way we need White Stripes in Rock Band. If they are in this there better be a song export.

I do believe that really is Jack White as well, since not only the hat is something he'd wear, but the guitar the lego character is holding is very similiar to one of Jack's most used guitars.

Just check out this pic:

That does sound incredibly awesome. Yesterday I was kinda interested in this game. With "destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper" I am officially stoked. And there's a super-easy setting so my 4 year old can play without getting frustrated?!!? Where do I pre-order?

I am almost completely sure The Beatles: Rock Band will not have export.

Also it would be stupid to allow songs to be exported on release because it would decrease sales and increase rents.

The track packs have had one time codes in the manuals that are used to export the songs. I assume this is the same.

So, you would kinda have to buy it.

The Rock Band 1 export function is different,

You have to download the key for $5 and then go to export songs on RB1.

They might do it like that though, but I doubt it, since Lego Rock Band and The Beatles: Rock Band are supposed to be standalone games.

i'm thinking they'll release the Lego Rock Band exclusive songs as DLC a while after the release like what they're planning for unplugged on psp. i doubt they'll do anything like that for the beatles.

That's because RB1 came out before they had any idea of what they would end up doing.

The last 3 Rock Band releases, AC/DC Live: Rock Band, RB: Track Pack Vol. 2, and RB: TP: Classic Rock, all have had export codes.

And Rock Band 2 had a code for 20 free songs, which could easily be used to give those people who already redeemed those codes an option to export the songs.

I doubt that, if LEGO: Rock Band were to let you export the songs, it would use the RB1 model.

I think it would be in their interests to allow exports of the songs. Thats the biggest thing going for RockBand right now is the fact that you can play all (excluding a small handful) of your songs without swapping discs. If I were to make a guess I would imagine that you would have the option to export the RB2 songs so you could play them in legoland or vice versa.

It would seem a little weird to release a version that has such a different interface, only to have people use the export feature and never play it again, but I find it hard to believe that Harmonix would go down the Guitar Hero path by making everyone have disc swap to play songs.

People would still want to whore achievements and trophies in the new interface I guess.

And some people might want to play their collection of songs as Lego.

all i care about is playing the damn music!! i dont need to build a bunch of lego shit and watch it explode into little pieces. If it is exportable this will easily be a quick rent, otherwise I'm not planning on adjusting to a whole new style of scrolling keys in the form of lego pieces.

just to add to this, why doesn't rockband just make this a DLC "Skin" for the game? That's really all this is.

@pete because this game is obviously geared towards being kid friendly.

If I can export the tracks to RB2 I'll probably pick this up otherwise I'll probably skip it.

If LRB is compatible with all the DLC and I can export the RB2 tracks to this game that would be less useful but kind of neat.

Because if it's aimed at kids, they need to differentiate the product at retail to win over parents to pony up the cash. Imagine the difference in sales between a DLC skin for Rock Band 2 buried somewhere in the online store, and this bigass video game box in a kids toy store - hell, imagine it sitting IN THE LEGO SECTION.
I was a LEGO lovin' kid once too, and I would go apeshit if I saw this. :D
A DLC skin would mean that only parents who already play Rock Band would be aware of it.

Yeah, Rock Band for kids is actually pretty fuckin' genius. My daughter loves to watch me play Rock Band, but isn't quite coordinated enough to play herself. This would make for some awesome family time.

Sorry dude, if you want to export the songs, you're going to have to buy the game, it's going to be one code per disc. Rock Band one's export feature was the exception to that rule

"SQUARES AND CIRCLES ARE SO RIDICULOUSLY DIFFERENT. IT'S GONNA BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET USED TO PLAYING THIS GAME! IT'LL BE FAR HARDER FOR ME TO PLAY THIS, EVEN IF IT IS A KID'S GAME!"

Uh, yeah. Wait until you play the game before saying you won't know how to play it.

I'm curious as to why I'm getting downvoted. I didn't see in any of the press release info or on Xbox.com whether or not this would have the same difficulty levels as regular Rock Band. I guess I can assume it does, and all the talk of being "family friendly" just means a "super-easy" mode.

My burning question is whether or not the instruments will be built of legos, which you can smash after you finish a bad ass set list..... and then put back together.
