Makes sense to me, brand new Game that exports is obvious gonna cost more than a old Rock Band 1 exporting
I'm still going to just rent it and export the songs, regardless of price. Is that bad? I don't like swapping discs.
The fact I'm paying more for it actually makes me feel less guilty for just renting it and exporting 'em. Eh.
Still has one heck of a setlist.

@Shadowiii: You won't be able to do that. Just like the original Rock Band, there's going to be a key on an insert in the game case with a unique code on it; you'll need it to export the songs.
you didnt need a code for the original. I esported all of them onto rock band 2 by borrowing a friends disk
You could just be cheap and rent the game and buy the export key. That's probably why the key is priced at ten; I know I did the same thing with RB1 for songs in RB2.
@samit Not true man, I rented Rockband 1, bought the online export key, and put in my rockband 1 disc and went to "export songs". That's it, songs on HDD and work in Rockband 2, took back Rockband 1.
"I'm still going to just rent it and export the songs, regardless of price."
This all depends if the export is like RB1 or if it's like the RB track packs. RB1 could be exported by anyone, but the track pack discs have all had unique codes that could only be used once.

@ThrashingLimbsEd, Slick Icarus II, funran: Ah, my bad; I was thinking of the 20 free songs that came with RB2. Still, my understanding is that you will need the code printed on the LEGO Rock Band insert in order to export its songs.
ahh, well they've worked that out then...probably won't be buying this one then. Surprised they didn't do that for rockband 1.

@funran, the reason that wasn't done for RB1 was almost surely that they didn't think of the idea in advance. No such code was included on the back of RB1 because they didn't yet imagine exporting RB1 going forward. So when RB2 was in development, they wanted to export RB1 but hadn't included any sort of unique code on RB1.
So, RB1 was made into a free-for-all because there was simply no other option. Every disc release since has included a unique ID on the back of the manual, and I'd imagine that you can count on everything going forward requiring that unique ID in order to export.

Wait...but that doesn't make any sense...if that was the case [having the code to export on the case] then why all the fuss about the export key not being as cheap as rb1...wouldn't we already know its going to cost 50 dollars since you get it with the game you bought??...for it to be on the case would mean i have to buy the game and spend an extra 10 to export...you didn't have to do that with the track packs did you? buy the pack for 20 and spend more money to export...i thought you just did it with the code for free after purchase...am i missing something?
This still seems well worth it, especially for those dastardly people out there who are just going to GameFly the game and then pay the ten dollars for 45 songs.
For a second there I thought the headline picture was an indicator that we would be seeing some 3 inches of blood tracks, perhaps "destroy the orcs". But then again it's not really what you would call "family-friendly" entertainment.
@Dexter345: Gamefly doesn't send you the manual, do they? If not, then you've got no chance on the export, since you'll need the unique one-time key on the back of the manual.
You need the key plus $10. Though the game is $10 cheaper, so it'll be a grand total of $60 after purchasing the export key.
I'm really not sure why Harmonix didn't just make the export free but make the game cost $60, thus getting an export license fee from everyone who purchased the game. It'd certainly reduce the whining about the relicensing fee.

@thefncrow: Well, not everyone who buys LEGO Rock Band will already own Rock Band or Rock Band 2, so it makes sense to make the export optional and save some people $10.
