The thing that makes it great is that it wont be just ANYONE making music, it'll be pwoplw who actually KNOW what they're doing and they wont be making music out of horrible 8bit midi samples. This will mean the songs are potentially quality offerings rather than a bunch of remade zelda and mario bros themes.

This is great and all but it will actually be a while before this makes it to the PS3.

RBN was developed using XNA and is thus for the XBox 360. They plan to 'eventually' launch this for the PS3 and possibly the Wii but there is not even a rough date for those plans.

Further info Here

I can't wait for this to come out, and am super stoked for it but it sucks that I am going to have to wait.

 Finally, people like myself who actually play music can finally play our REAL instruments on this music program (hopefully) and expose our music.  Bada55.

can't wait for this to come to the PSN. Right now even the wiki for the application shows that it is tied to the xna creator's club.

Sony doesn't presently provide a way to do this, so it may be a long while or we'll just be stuck with the favorites from the 360 crowd.

I would rather the cration tools stay on the 360, and let the best songs get sold on the PSN.

the only way GH can top this is if they come up with a code that makes the tracks for any game you have on your HDD.

Cool feature. But I wont use it and I actually think that a lot of casual players (like my self) wont use it.

Like Rock Band, but for some reason Im more GH person. 

Think theres room for both games.

wow this is actually really good idea

seriously rock band u just took a leap forward over guitar hero

so does it cost to buy the song set? or post it up?

also would it add to ur psn  funding? like u get 100 sales at $1 u get $3 added to psn acount

that is seriously a really good idea

kudos rockband if i ever want to play these type of games again im trading in guitar hero for this

also team up with scarth if u guys rnt making it cus u know dj hero and guitar hero will link up
