If you happened to see the new announcement on the Rock Band forums today, then you would know that Harmonix/MTV games is releasing 5 more songs as DLC this christmas. All this downloadable content makes me happy. Rock band is really sticking to their word about releasing a lot of content. They is something for everyone this christmas now.
Hey all,

"Hope you are having some good time off or will be soon. Below is the press release for tomorrow's DLC. As mentioned before the DLC will come out on Xbox marketplace on Tuesday and on Playstation store next week (along with next week's regularly scheduled DLC) due to Sony's offices being closed this week for the holidays. At any rate enjoy the DLC and I'll be back later this week!

Happy holidays,
Sean

Harmonix and MTV Games want you to ring in the holiday cheer with a special Rock Band gift. For a limited time, fans and gamers can purchase tracks from platinum-plus-selling rock act 30 Seconds To Mars, pop-punkers All-American Rejects and Swedish new-wavers The Sounds at a special holiday price of $0.99 per song (80 Microsoft Points per track for Xbox 360).

Starting tomorrow, there will be a total of five new songs available.
They are:
"Attack" - 30 Seconds To Mars (from 2005's A Beautiful Lie)
"The Kill" - 30 Seconds To Mars (from 2005's A Beautiful Lie)
"Dirty Little Secret" - All-American Rejects (from 2005's Move Along)
"Move Along" - All-American Rejects (from 2005's Move Along)
"Song With A Mission" - The Sounds (from 2006's Dying To Say This To You) "

So today I finally got my replacement guitar from EA after requesting for an RMA on Nov. 21st. I could live with the delay, as the drums are consuming my time well as I wait (damn they are fun). Also I will be getting a free game from EA because of my delay troubles .
Anyways onto the guitar. It is definantly a little different.

1. The fret buttons are way more clacky sounding. These frets are loud. This makes the fact that, compared to a GH guitar controller, making the silent strum bar on the Strat completely pointless. My only disappointment with the new guitar

2. The strum bar (which was the problem with my launch guitar) is actually a little improved. It seems that the strum bar has a little more resistance to it. All in all it feels less breakable.

3. The Rock Band guitar dongle is different also. The first one I had used a sticker to label it as a Rock Band dongle. This the writing is also part of the plastic. Not too important, just wanted to let you know.

My new guitar works like a charm, and I don't have any problems.

Now about PS3 guitar compatibility. Harmonix announced in their Rock Band community forums this following post.

"Hey everybody,

Good news, see below (this patch should be available quite soon, maybe even up now as of this posting)-


Available today is a routine update for the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Rock Band that addresses a number of items related to guitar controller compatibility. Should Rock Band owners choose to obtain the update, they will need broadband internet access connected to their PLAYSTATION 3. The update will be downloaded once the game is started.


Enjoy,
Sean"

This is good news as it seems we can finally use GH guitars on the game. I haven't heard of the patch being released yet, but this is confirmation that it is coming. PS3 owners of rock band can now finally create and enjoy a quartet band.

IGN has an article that has reveiled the entire setlist for Rock Band.
I'm amazed by this list. IMO it is better than GH3's. Not to mention the full-album downloads and constant downloadable content.
