Your Free Rock Band 2 DLC Codes Are Coming, Harmonix Promises (Updated)
by Chris Faylor, Nov 05, 2008 11:58am PSTUpdate: Harmonix has hit an "unexpected delay with getting the content online with Microsoft" and "have suspended sending out the token codes until the content becomes available," going by a new post from the developer.
"We hope to have this resolved in the next 24 hours and apologize profusely for the delay," wrote community manager Sean Baptiste. "Again, we apologize for the delay and are working our butts off to get the content out to you."
Original Story: If you've bought Rock Band 2 and registered for the 20 free downloadable songs that were slated to arrive yesterday, Harmonix hasn't forgotten.
On its official forum, the studio noted that download codes for Xbox 360 owners began going out last night, but that "due to the volume of emails being sent, these will roll out over a 24 hour period." Harmonix also stressed its appreciation of your patience.
Despite Harmonix's claim that the codes began going out last night, it appears that the codes have not yet started shipping out, as no one has yet reported their receipt.
Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 owners will start to receive their codes later this week, when the online PlayStation Store starts carrying the tunes on Thursday.
Harmonix has yet to detail when the tunes and other DLC will be available to those that buy the Wii edition of Rock Band 2 after it arrives in December.

We have hit an unexpected delay with getting the content online with Microsoft and are working diligently with them to get that resolved. We have suspended sending out the token codes until the content becomes available. Sending out the codes before the content is live will just result in more confusion. We hope to have this resolved in the next 24 hours and apologize profusely for the delay.
We're also working with Sony to get the content up on PS3 and the codes out. More on that as information becomes available.
Again, we apologize for the delay and are working our butts off to get the content out to you.
