New features, y'all: Rock Band 2 PS3 patch incoming photo

Tomorrow marks the debut of a new patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Rock Band 2. Y'know, the one that Xbox 360 owners have had for some time now? Uh huh. Well, it doesn't really matter now; the update is almost upon us, and it's got enough tweaks and additions to help ease the pain.

New Rock Band 2 PS3 features to look forward to include: the ability to sort by stars in Quickplay mode, an improved HO/PO system a la The Beatles: Rock Band, velocity sensitivity for those mad-expensive Ion Drum Kits, support for the Rock Band Network Store (which isn't live yet), and also support for the wireless SingStar mics that can be found in Europe.

Again, this is obviously a bit on the late side, but Rock Band 2 is still very much a platform, and these improvements from Harmonix won't go unappreciated.

Wow, this patch is just now coming out? What took so long? IIRC Microsoft's patch authentication process is far more needlessly complex and time consuming than Sony's.

I thought the PS3 Rock Band folks (stupidly) weren't getting the fabled Rock Band Network thing.
