Naturally I had to buy GH2 for the 360 the day it came out last week. I’ve already got 1 and 2 for the PS2 but the prospect of downloadable songs sealed the deal.

Today, the first downloadable songs (a pack of three of them from the first Guitar Hero) was made available and I, dear friends, am not as happy as I hoped to be. The price for the downloadable songs? Over $2/song. At that price, buying all the songs from Guitar Hero 1 (which many of us have already bought once) would cost about $97, or over twice what the original game cost and that doesn’t get you an extra guitar!

I’m annoyed and frustrated at this attempt to bleed those of us addicted to Guitar Hero like this. You can’t even pick and choose which songs you want either. You’ve got to buy them in pre-configured packs of three that may include songs you have no interest in.

Having said that I will, of course, be buying/downloading them all because I’m a sucker.
