Beatles DLC screws up online modes News

PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson

11 November, 2009

Owners of The Beatles: Rock Band for PS3 are complaining they're unable to play the game online since downloading extra content.

According to a thread on the Rock Band forum, the problem only affects gamers in Europe. It appears to be connected to the release of the Abbey Road DLC and has been going on since the end of last month.

A Harmonix staff member responded to the thread, writing, "I'm checking in constantly with the team investigating this issue to try to find out what's going on... Collecting as much information and researching the potential causes will lead to an expedient fix and hopefully prevent an issue like this from occurring in the future."

The staff member requested more feedback from users and added, "I'm happy to say that Sony is actively investigating the cause of the issue with us and we're hopeful that a fix can be issued soon."

In the meantime, owners of the PS3 game might want to avoid downloading that Abbey Road DLC if they haven't done so already.

Dammit... can anyone think of any appropriate Beatles song lyrics for this situation?

Oh, PS3 only. I was about to alert some friends to it but they all play on Xbox. Even then, we never play Rock Band online as it's pretty easy to get my band together in the same place. So we'd be fine even if online play was broken.

@ Halo Jones, where does it state in the thread that it has been fixed? I have been following this as I went on last week to download Abbey Road and it just wouldn't connect. The problem has been going on the 2 weeks now. It really pees me off that HMX treat me as a second class customer because I have a PS3, as there are multiple problems with Rock Band 2 as well. This isn't even going into the fact that the major pacth that got releashed over a month ago STILL hasn't been released for PS3 users. I honestly must have spent over £100 on DLC alone for this game but I don't believe HMX really about myself and others in the same boat.

Who knew exclusitivey agreements could strech this far!

@ Halo Jones, I stand corrected, sorry. I will tut at my own stupidity for the next 10 minutes

*red face for diving into a rant*
