Here's some cool news from RockBandAide - the various pre-order bonus guitars can be unlocked by entering button combos at the RB3 menu. This make me appreciate the fact that I ordered from Gamestop even more.
I tried this before with the Amazon code I had but couldn't figure one thing out - what is the orange button? Is that the yellow button on the xbox controller? I tried this half a dozen times and couldn't get it to work. What am I missing?
Probably have to do it using music controller. On the drums, the kick is orange and the guitar has an orange button. Yellow is yellow so that will not work.
RockBandAide has posted a list of Black Friday deals. Most of them aren't particularly interesting except for a deal where you can get a RB3/Mustang bundle for $150 from Dell. That's like getting a free copy of RB3 with the purchase of a Mustang pro guitar.
I've posted this elsewhere, but Best Buy is getting rid of The Beatles Limited edition via their ebay store for about $90 shipped & there were a bunch of them when I bought mine 2-3 weeks ago.Actually, the Beatles Rock Band Limited Edition for $100 is a steal.
Actually, the Beatles Rock Band Limited Edition for $100 is a steal. That comes with the drums, bass, mic, and stand, in addition to the game, and given that Rock Band 3 drums alone are $130 right now, if you're looking for a set of wireless drums, this is a much better deal. The drums should be compatible with the pro cymbals, I believe, which cost $40.
That's not a bad deal, but given that I just got a Rock Band 2 SE bundle on clearance at Target for $70, I wasn't that impressed by it.
What's the story on the pro midi adapters? Seems like they are never coming out...
I guess there are some supply issues, but you may be able to get one if you order directly from Mad Catz (gameshark.com). They have already shipped at least some of them.
Hey gang,
November has been a wild and wooly month and it’s been awesome to see so many people playing Rock Band 3, especially the people making killer progress in Pro Mode. We’ve gotten some amazing feedback from people relearning keys after taking piano lessons when they were kids and there’s been some ridiculous videos of people learning Ramones songs on Pro Guitar after just a few hours.
We’ve also been tracking all the feedback about requested fixes and we’re happy to announce that there’s an RB3 update going live today that should address some of the most discussed issues of the last month. We’ve received confirmation that this update should be live on PS3 (both SCEA and SCEE) today and will hit Xbox360 in the near future. We’ll update this thread as soon as we have more details.
There is a plan to release another update in the near future to address numerous other items, but these were the most pressing issues that we wanted to target as quickly as possible.
• Arena 12 Freeze (aka The Roadie Amp Loading Screen of Death) – If the amp loading vignette occurred immediately prior to an especially resource heavy venue it had the potential to cause a freeze. Your band should now be able to load their gear uninterrupted.
• Save Data Affected By Especially Long Band Names – Custom / Random Setlists specific to artists with especially long names (most notably Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Honest Bob and the Factory to Dealer Incentives, The Presidents of the United States of America, etc) that were not completed before playing through to the next auto save could result in corrupted save data.
• Iron Man Eyebrow Freeze in Character Creator – The Character Creator would sometimes seize up when reselecting the default eyebrow for the Iron Man pre set face. All eyebrows are now safe.
• Pause Scoring Exploit – To prevent abuse of repeated pausing mid-song to pad a score, we now disable score reporting on any song in which a player repeatedly pauses. Your crowd meter should go grey and you will not be able to complete any goals or achievements tied to score during that play through.
We’ll keep this thread open to track feedback to pass along internally. It’s our hope that this update will address some of the most immediate concerns of the community and improve your enjoyment of a game that many of you clearly cannot get enough of. Thanks so much for your continued feedback. It’s your input that helps challenge us to continually raise the bar in music gaming.
Rock on!

Kind of late to the party here, but RB3 was given to my "kids" for their "Christmas present"...
So I have been REALLY enjoying pro drums. Some online reviews are really so-so about the cymbal kit, but I have had ZERO problems. Sure adds a new element!
Now to "import" my RB2 songs. Kinda sucks that I have to pay another 10 bucks for it but oh well.
Wow, the keyboard is freaking hard. Played on easy/pro keyboards tonight and got my ass handed to me.
Have you played the piano or keyboard before? It was hard when I started, but after a couple weeks, I was able to get to around 80th on the leader boards. Just take the time to move up through each difficulty level.
