How do I buy Pro-Guitar / Pro-Bass upgrades for Rock Band 3 DLC tracks?
Rock Band 3 features a new Pro Mode* that allows players to develop real musical skills while playing core Rock Band gameplay. All 83 songs on the Rock Band 3 disc come with Pro Instrumentation: All songs have Pro Guitar, Pro Bass, and Pro Drums parts, and all songs with keys have Pro Keys parts.
All DLC released for Rock Band 3 will contain Pro Drums, Keys, Pro Keys, and harmony vocals where applicable. Select songs released for Rock Band 3 will also come with the option to purchase a Pro Guitar Upgrade that adds Pro Guitar and Pro Bass to the gameplay. Some legacy DLC will be re-released with a Pro Guitar Upgrade option as well. We will occasionally make Rock Band 3 versions of legacy tracks available which will have Keys / Pro Keys and Harmonies, as well as Pro Drums, in addition to the standard instruments. In that instance, you can choose to purchase the Pro Upgrade featuring Pro Guitar and Pro Bass for the legacy track or for the Rock Band 3 version.
For information on downloading the Pro Guitar Upgrade for each console, see below.
Note that you must purchase the basic track before you can purchase the Pro Upgrade.
