Marked in orange are the songs that are currently reported missing. Nevertheless, there is reason to be happy. After all we have endured months of stagnation and we have had some major catch-up updates in the past month.Let's motivate Sony to keep this up, head over to our blog comment!

Major permission fix

Hey everyone,

our ComDev Dan Amrich announced the following good news:

"Sony is reporting to us that the permissions for the DLC added April 1 and April 8 should now be fixed. If you were disappointed that these PS3 purchases were not downloading for free on PS4, please try downloading them on PS4 now and report back on what you experience."

Please, if you come across a permission that does not work, head over to the Ubi forums and let Dan (and us) know. Thanks!

Minor permission fix

Hey everyone,

the following permission issues are reported to have been fixed:

Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Hysteria - Muse
Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
Time Is Running Out - Muse
Muscle Museum - Muse
1979 -Smashing Pumpkins
More than a feeling - Boston
dammit - blink 182
Have you ever seen the rain - CCR
Living after midnight - Judas Priest
Oh yeah - Aerosmith
Legendary Child - Aerosmith
Dream On - Aerosmith
Same Ol' Song and Dance - Aerosmith
Free Bird - Skynyrd
Barracuda - Heart
Juicebox - The Strokes

Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan *

As of today 04/17*:
Come out and play - The Offspring
When I'm Gone - 3 Doors Down

If this is not consistent with what you are experiencing, try either searching for the songs individually, maybe even in the browser-version of the store or to restore your licenses in PS4.

Besides, I will now start to call these issues (PS3-song ownership doesn't transfer to PS4-songs as promised) permission issues, instead of cross buy issues. Simply because the latter term is misleading, as Dan Amrich explains here.

It works! + 1 FREE Song

Hey everyone,

I'm happy to have some mostly good news to spread:

• The announced batch of legacy DLC seems to be online and available.
• In this case, "available" also includes previous owners, meaning that (according to Ubisoft forum users) this time there are no cross buy issues and previously purchased songs can now be downloaded to your PS4, even if you're European or Australian. :)
• Maybe a mistake, maybe a compensation, but you can currently purchase and download Be Yourself by Audioslave free of charge (might be time-limited, hurry up!).
• As of now does not seem as if the persisting cross buy issues from the April-1st Update have been fixed. Let's keep fingers crossed this is done in the course of the day.

Feel free to update me anytime if something changes! As always, we'll hit the PS-Blog later, this time to express some gratitude, but also to remind SCEE of the remaining cross-buy issues. Join us and support the first RS2014-related post!

EDIT: THIS JUST IN
Apparently not all songs are completely free of cross-buy issues. Please check the Ubisoft forums thread (Pages 95 to 97) to see whether users have reported problems with one of the songs you might be interested in.

Store Update 2015/04/08: Packs but no cross-buy-fix

A short information for all fellow Rocksmiths out there. Today's PSN-Store update brought the previously announced packs. Sadly, the cross-buy-issues with the 60 or so recently added legacy DLC songs persists. So, owners of the PS3-versions are still asked to pay for the content they had purchased before.

If you feel as disappointed about this lack of thoroughness as I do, support our blog-comment, our forum post at the PS-forums or tweet with Hashtag #RSDLCScandal.

If you're new to this mess, check out a wrap up of what is going on here. Best source of information is Ubisoft's RS2014 ComDev D. Amrich. He usually posts any updates he can give into this thread at the Ubi-forums.

Today's uploads and the upcoming schedule!

Cheers everyone,

happy to spread some more good news. First and foremost it seems that the schedule that was announced towards the end of last week has been kept. See here what has been added:

Compilation of recently added songs. Thanks to DjPelle for pasting it all together!

While that should be great for all of us, there currently is still a catch to all of this:

• as of now, the cross-buy functionality does not work, so players that previously owned these songs can not redownload them for free. We hope that, as last week, this issue will be fixed during the day.
• players that did not own these songs before might want to wait a few more weeks until all of the underlying packs have been uploaded to get a better value for their money.

That brings us to the second announcement. RS2014 ComDev D. Amrich announced what can be expected for the coming two weeks:

Release Date	Artist
08. Apr	Queen Song Pack
08. Apr	Foo Fighters Song Pack
08. Apr	Iron Maiden Song Pack
08. Apr	The Offspring Song Pack
08. Apr	Green Day Song Pack
08. Apr	Weezer Song Pack
08. Apr	blink-182 Song Pack
08. Apr	The Doors Song Pack
08. Apr	Fall Out Boy Song Pack
08. Apr	The Police Song Pack
08. Apr	Disturbed Song Pack
08. Apr	3 Doors Down Song Pack
15. Apr	Pearl Jam Song Pack
15. Apr	The Black Keys Song Pack

That should be especially nice for players that did not own any of the legacy DLC yet. We hope that SCEE and Ubi keep working on catching up, an maybe release another big batch of songs soon!

Of course we will give our (this time quite positive) feedback on the blog!

EDIT: Use our blog-comment to ask SCEE to fix the remaining cross buy issues!
