If you mean the record companies should have let Harmonix let the customers export the songs from RB1 for free then I agree with you. Harmonix is making $0 on the export process. It all goes into licensing.

Sell it.

Should you accidentally delete them, you could grab them again from your download history. Just like with XBLA games - you have a licence for that content, you can re-download it at no additional cost.

Alternatively, simply rent the game later in the future should you need it again. Cheaper than losing the sale price of it.

You don't download the songs from the Internet, you just download a small license that allows you to rip them from the Rock Band 1 DVD. If you delete the songs you would have to rip them from the DVD again.

As for whether to sell it or not, I would personally sell it. I trust myself not to be stupid enough to delete resources that I don't have access to anymore.

All my RB1 songs are still there. I was just playing some...

Oh no.... it probably is just me [sigh] :(

The whole "only if your connected to LIVE" thing applies only if the Xbox you're on isn't the one you bought the content with, or if you're trying to use certain things from the video marketplace.

In the case of the RB1 tracks, I believe that this shouldn't even apply, as the LICENSE is what was downloaded from XBLM, not the songs. Therefore, it is the license that requires Xbox LIVE connection (and even then, only if you're on a different Xbox)

So..if your Xbox RRODs...do you do the Xbox 360 License Transfer to transfer the License of a License? Anyway...

Your songs should be working, however. Maybe email HMX? I can't tell you for sure as I was dong a bunch of Tour...and I just realized that I didn't play a single RB1 or DLC track the whole time...

After LIVE reboots, I'd suggest you resolve this issue (esp. if this is the Xbox you bought the license on) with Microsoft and EA Customer Support. Disconnect your network cable first, to make sure that there is truly a problem.

@El Capitaine

After further research, you are right about using content on a different 360. Though this system I have now is mines it's still not the one I originally transfered all the RB1 songs. Like most people I got the RRoD [for the 3rd time now] and got my system replacement last week. The odd thing is that ALL my DLC tracks works [and I've downloaded most of them from my previous console] its only ALL my RB1 tracks that's aren't recognizable. As you stated earlier this shouldn't even be an issue for RB1 tracks because they're not DLC. That's why I don't understand why only my RB1 tracks are effected and not my DLC when I'm offline.

Xbox Live Support told me to just wait until tomorrow when Live is up and running to 're-update' my system and everything should be back to normal and working fine. To also note, Microsoft automatically transfers ownership of all your DLC from the previous 360 to the "new" replacement system they send you. So even if you're offline you should still be able to play/use any of your DLC.... and once again, as you mentioned, this really shouldn't apply to my RB1 tracks since they are "saved game files" not DLC.

Alls I could do is just log onto Live tomorrow and try playing RB2 again offline [disconnecting my internet] and see if the problem still occurs. If so, they told me to just call them back.


On another side note. He did mention that, "You'll be getting the New Dashboard update tomorrow." Though I may be highly optimistic about this news I'm sure he's just mistaken that "today's maintenance is to prepare for the NXE update." [*crosses finger* Let this be a nice surprise by Microsoft and actually get the NXE tomorrow.]

Do the license transfer on another Gamertag if it's a big deal...
