Rock Band 3 Keyboard Bundles Not Available for PlayStation 3

1UP: "Harmonix just announced on its official forums that Rock Band 3 keyboard bundles will not be available for PlayStation 3 users in the United States. The $129.99 package (which includes a copy of the game and the keyboard peripheral) will only be sold for the Xbox 360 and Wii at U.S. retailers.

The company's statement on the matter follows."

And here they go fucking up shit again.

I'm not buying it until I see some new NIN's DLC and Light my Fire by Doors as DLC.

WTF I ALREADY PAYED $130 FOR THE PS3 KEYBOARD BUNDLE IN THE US?!?1?1?!?

nikkisixx24973d ago

Yeah this doesnt make sense to me, hmm

Christopher4973d ago (Edited 4973d ago )

Makes no sense to me. What type of region-specific agreement details are they talking about that would prevent the bundling of hardware with software on only one platform? I'm completely confused.

If it's a software-specific agreement, then wouldn't it apply across the board since it's all from Harmonix and all of the discs have the same songs on them? Same with hardware since Mad Catz is providing the hardware for all platforms?

They need to detail this region-specific agreement and why it affects only the PS3. If it's only because the PS3 version sold half of the 360 (but still more than a million in the U.S. alone as well as tons of DLC), then that's just the worst reason ever.

blusoops4973d ago

I'm fairly certain the PS3 version sold way more than the wii, so i don't understand why ONLY the PS3 is left out! This totally blows!

bakasora4973d ago

I think its the paycheck agreement. lol just joking

SIX4973d ago

Yeah well this really sucks. I'm a huge supporter of this franchise and a can't help but feel like I'm being screwed. Who knows they might have a good explanation. Until then I would urge you all to write to them demanding a clear and swift explanation. I've already gone ahead and done just that. Hopefully, they will issue a statement soon

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever????

pain777pas4973d ago

Today's gaming environment just is full of these partial this or you can't have that from third party developers. Man this is the worst sort of partiality.

This is quite sad and a horrible move, it does call into question why they'd have a 360 and a Wii keyboard bundle but no PS3 one.

hoops4973d ago

What are they thinking???

pinkyxyz4973d ago

this doesnt even begin to make sense

J@D4973d ago

Looking Back to 2010 and Rock Band 3 - the First Death of Rock Band

Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."

Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.

franwex1992d ago

Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.

Skankinruby1992d ago

Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it

Christopher1992d ago

If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.

Skankinruby1992d ago

@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.

Christopher1992d ago

***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***

If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

mkis0071992d ago

Chris

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.

Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.

Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...

franwex1992d ago

...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.

agnosticgamer1992d ago

Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...

OneEyedSteve1992d ago (Edited 1992d ago )

Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.

Majors1992d ago

When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.

darthv721992d ago

I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
