From the RB forums:
To what extent are the options, if you can say? Can someone release a song that is only vocals and bass? Can someone release a song that is only guitar? What is the base requirement number of parts?
Harmonix: Let's say I have a song that's just Spanish guitar. I can put that on RBN.
Do the people at HMX review the chart before releasing it onto the marketplace? Just to make sure it's ok?
Harmonix: We'll be checking out every song but more importantly, everyone in the RBN creator's club will be reviewing and green lighting songs before they get pushed to the store.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
