You Can Now Import Rock Band 1's Soundtrack Into Rock Band 4

@prof_detective: RB1 didn't come with a code, instead it had a key you could purchase that would rip the songs off of the disc. The other titles had unique codes that had to be redeemed, except for RB3. All the codes are expired now. The RB3 export was released a few weeks ago and apparently all it does to see if you're eligible to buy it is check if you've purchased the digital copy of the game (which has also expired), or if you've previously played the game by checking your trophy/achievement info.

Rock Band Blitz is still available and every song from Green Day Rock Band can be purchased individually.

@prof_detective: If you never owned the games, no there is no way to export. Most original games (RB1, RB2, RB3, LEGO, etc.) came packaged with unique export codes. You enter the code in a later game, pay a modest export fee, and voila...the old songs run in newer game.

Rock Band Blitz is still available for Xbox 360 / PS3. I believe you can still buy that title and get all of the songs free in RB4. (The blitz songs are also available for purchase individually as DLC, but that will cost you more than the $15 Blitz game.)

The Rock Band 3 export is also still available. Purchase a copy of the game at retail--make sure you buy new because you need the code inside the box. Then for another $15 you can export to RB4.

I think those are the only exports still available. Export offers for RB1, RB2, Lego, Green Day, etc. have since expired. Harmonix is often asked about re-releasing older disc songs to buy separately as DLC but they've always said it isn't a high priority to make that happen. I think they'd rather invest resources in new DLC instead of re-releasing old stuff which has limited appeal.

@prof_detective: Probably not right now. They might make them as DLC but since they don't sell the import pass it seems like a no go.

@stuff238: Other than mentioning it in their website... sure.

@senorbusyman: Way to show that anger... over something that happened 7 years ago. Those songs were removed with the first export of RB.

@senorbusyman: the versions of Paranoid and Run to the Hills that are in rock band 1's setlist are COVERS! you can download the original version of Run to the Hills on the rock band store if you haven't already.

@SolidSnakeJT: also two of those songs were not available since like...forever...
