Guitar Hero III DLC
I know what you must be thinking after reading the title. Again? Already? How much? I can’t argue with this being the reaction of just about everyone when it comes to downloadable content and the crew at Activision/RedOctane.
The Velvet Revolver Track Pack includes master recordings of “Messages,” “She Builds Quick Machines” and the 2004 Grammy Award winner for Best Hard Rock Performance, “Slither.” The Foo Fighters Track Pack includes master recordings of “The Pretender,” “This Is a Call” and the 2002 Grammy Award winner for Best Rock Song, “All My Life.”
Additionally, later in November, the Boss Battle anthems will be available, free of charge. Originally composed music by Slash and Tom Morello along with “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” can be downloaded to play outside of Career mode.
“The Guitar Hero franchise was a pioneer into the music download space for next generation gaming,” said Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing for Activision/RedOctane. “We’re excited to provide Guitar Hero fans an opportunity to download and play their favorite hits from legendary artists.”
The cool thing about these packs is that they’re master recordings. I do want to point out that the press release made no mention of price. Oversight or done on purpose? These packs come strummin’ at 500 Microsoft Points each.

“Oversight or done on purpose? These packs come strummin’ at 500 Microsoft Points each.”
I think it was on purpose, they caught so much crap for it before they probably are trying to ’stidestep the pricing issue when they can’ (in all reality their skin should be leathered enough now to at least know they don’t care about what we think on the pricing). That being said, in someways it’s not a horrible deal, mainly this time around being that the songs aren’t covers (they are legit) and you always have the if you don’t want it, don’t buy it option…

3 songs for 500 points? 6 songs 1000 points. Gulp…..I hope Rock Band isn’t this pricey. If so I’ll stick to RPG instead of these novelty games.
