Harmonix Pulls Plug On PSP Rock Band DLC
Rock Band: Unplugged for the PlayStation Portable was no-doubt a successful title. From over a hundred tracks (downloadable and preloaded) to the fact that it was a bundled title with the portable platform, the portable version of Rock Band has been and will probably still be traveling along a successful ride. Unfortunately, like most great musical talents, the rhythm title is looking to be hindered by a musical hiatus.
According to Harmonix, planned downloadable content for Rock Band: Unplugged has come to an end until further notice. What this means is, while additional music may come along in the near future, the weekly updates are through for the time being. The reasoning for this decision is to provide full resources to the upcoming Rock Band Network.
While this is sad news for fans of portable rhythm games, the optimistic view is anticipating that the Rock Band Network will be supported on the PSP as well. Because of the PSP’s networking capabilities coupled with it’s memory storage, it’s a possibility. But in any case, keep up with PlayStation LifeStyle for the latest happenings on Rock Band and more.

I never really understood how the portable versions were that much fun anyway since you don’t use any instruments…how do you get the illusion you’re in a Rock Band without the instruments??
I agree with Giese095. It never made much sense to me either.
While the real console games also put a focus on making you feel like you’re in a Rock Band, I’m pretty sure the ultimate objective is to give you a way to interact with your music. It’s hard to listen to music and JUST listen to music (for me anyways), I usually have to be doing something else as well.
So, the portable RB basically just gives you something to do while you listen to the songs. Though not as effectively as Beats (in my opinion) because in Beats, you have whatever songs you want whereas RB: U only lets you use the songs they ported to the game.
Though as a whole I do prefer RB, much more challenging of a game than Beats
actually if you ever played amplituded or frequency… they are pretty much like rock band unplugged…those were great games back in the day… just another rhythm game altho ur not palying an instrument..its the same concept as those games on the ps2…they were great games by the way
this is so annoying, one of the best games i’ve got on the PSP and know their going to ruin it by not supporting the game anymore.
They need to pull the plug on these music games completely.
what why pull plug?
I really don;t know how i feel about the rockband network, but it’s got a demand so give the people what they want.
