    What's the deal with Harmonix not expanding RBN to more countries? Do they not like money? There's literally nothing I want to buy of the "regular DLC" they put out. Meanwhile I'm looking at all the good stuff available on RBN and I could instantly pick out 5-10 songs that I would be interested in.

    I'd guess that there are complicated licensing issues that they'd have to deal with if they put that stuff out in more countries. There are some good tracks on there, but honestly there's a lot better stuff on the regular store, imo.

    @JJWeatherman:  Yeah, hopefully it's just a question of time, but I think it's taking way too long. As for the song selection, that depends entirely on what kinda music you're into.

    I guess. 
     
    The regular Music Store has a pretty huge variety of genres though. If you really like obscure indie stuff or something, then I can see how you'd like RBN.

    @Cramsy:  Yeah, that's another thing. You can only buy RB1 instruments here still.
     
    @JJWeatherman: Huge variety doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. It just means that the most popular and mainstream artists and bands from different genres are represented, because that's what sells. Like you said, RBN is more focused on underground and indie stuff, and that's the stuff I'm interested in.

    @Venatio: You should feel lucky then cause I think Sweden is the only Scandinavian country that has RBN. I'm from Finland, which makes it all the more annoying since we're your neighbours and you've had it for a long time (avundsjuka med andra ord :P).
     
    What's even more annoying is the fact that there are several Finnish bands that have uploaded their music to RBN, and not even their fellow countrymen (which I assume a majority of any bands' fanbase consist of) can access it.

    RBN isn't available in Australia, I think because of our classification system. Apparently you can get around it by making a US account.

    I'm not entirely sure about that, to be honest-I bought RB DLC from England because I thought I had the English version of the game-turns out I had the American version, and it didn't work. Also, PSSupport didn't help me.
