Lego Rock Band Songs Exportable, Source Says

August 31st, 2009




If you want to play some tunes from Lego Rock Band after the kids have gone to bed, it appears that you’ll be able to do so without the cutesy presentation. Wired is reporting that Lego Rock Band’s music will be exportable, enabling Rock Band and Rock Band 2 owners to creat one big playlist with all of their favorite music.

The news comes from a “highly-placed source close to Harmonix,” who said that the feature will have a small fee, as is the case with Rock Band. Naturally, the feature will not be available for The Beatles Rock Band, which is incompatible with DLC from Rock Band and its sequel.

In the meantime, more Rock Band downloadable content has been revealed, including music by The White Stripes and the Racounteurs.

PlayStation 3’s New 3.0 Firmware Now Available

August 31st, 2009





Sony has released the latest firmware update for the PlayStation 3 tonight — version 3.00 for those who are counting. The update was announced alongside the new 120GB PS3 Slim at GamesCom 09 a few weeks ago and includes a bevy of new features.

In case you’ve forgotten or missed it the first time around, once updated, you’ll be treated to a redesigned friends list, new PlayStation Store shortcuts from the XMB, enhanced Trophy support for games with add-ons, dynamic XMB themes, premium avatars, a new status indicator, and a “What’s New” section displaying new PlayStation news and content.

As is usual with PlayStation firmware updates, it’s a sizable download and will take a fairly long time to update — make sure and get downloading before you want to hop on PSN for some online gaming.
