Ah dammit! Who wants Rock & Roll All Night? That HAS to be like the 1st song on the game...5 chords.

I wanted Detroit Rock City

Cult of Personality!!!!! Damn my wife is gonna be pissed at how loud that one is going to be played

I did the same But I was at home and realized it myself. Bah instruction manuals, I like to figure out how to do things myself I don't play guitar so I don't think you are -supposed- to know to hit the strum bar.

woo hoo - I got my first gold star on the expert level - Possum Kingdom. I use that song to warm up for the hardest songs that I haven't 5 starred on expert yet (all of the last 2 tiers of songs + freya) and fluked out at the end when I usually miss a few notes.

It felt like I was throwing a no-hitter in the bottom of the ninth.

I don't see how different colored buttons would mess anything up. I actually have my button colors in a different order than the original.

It's hard to get excited about a new game if it is going to be for PS2 only. Not having those 360 achievements just takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Is it ps2 only? I just bought a 360 today and am selling off my guitars and games

What's with the "BY" and "AS MADE FAMOUS BY" ... Does that mean they got original artists/tracks for the ones with 'by'? (like they did with Primus?)

Its on All formats people.

"By" means master track, and "As Made Famous By" means cover. Looks like with Neversoft coming up to the plate, they're going to get a lot more master tracks, which is definately a good thing. I just hope they don't fuck with the gameplay too much and ruin a good thing. I also really hope this "different color scheme on the buttons" doesn't fuck things up either. I don't care if they change the colors on the guitar or on-screen, as long as it's still just 5 frets in the same format. If they do something shitty like add in a sixthbutton or something to force a new guitar, I'm going to be mighty pissed, as will a lot of others.

I'd say that all this new info about GHIII warrants it's own thread. . .

Just started one.

Really? I hadn't seen confirmation that Rock the 80's would be available on anything other than PS2.

I think he was talking about GH3, which will be on the PS2, PS3, 360, and Wii.

The 80s edition will only be on the PS2.

Man, with all the bad press they're getting for the 360 DLC debacle, they'd have to be fucking retarded to make people buy all new guitars for GH3. The cry for their blood would be great.

Confirms a new song. We Got the Beat by The Go-Go's.

Gag me with a spoon.

Man, GH:80s looks worse and worse everytime they announce something for it.

I'm excited for GH:80's. I just wish it was for 360.

Ditto. Maybe it will make its way over eventually. *wishful thinking*

There was such a decable over the last batch of DLC that we might not see any more for the 360 version. As lame as that is, it'd kind of painted them into a corner. Maybe they'll be able to release the 80's one as a single pack for $40-50 (the same price as the PS2 version) and get away with it.

As for the rest of the GH1 songs, I doubt we'll ever see them. I'd love to play them with the GH2 engine, and had no problem buying them in packs of three at their current prices, but enough people bitched that don't have many options. If they lower the price on new packs, it's going to piss off the 50,000 people who bought them at $6.25 a piece. And if they keep them at the current prices, the people that didn't buy them in the first place are going to bitch more.

Not just bitch, but I'm sure as hell not buying any of them at that price, which I would think is much more imporant.

Hey, at $6.25 a pack * 50,000+ (for the BatM pack), they're looking at $312,500. I heard that MS takes a 30% cut, so that brings it down to $218,750 that needs to be divvied up between Activision, RedOctane & Harmonix.

I would think it would still be profitable to release the packs, because enough people are diehard fans, that they'll buy them. I've sunk so much money into this franchise already. This is what I've bought so far:

GH1 bundle
Extra SG for my wife
GH2 bundle (got it early from CC)
Extra SG for my wife (she broke her whammy)
GH2 360 bundle x 2 (wanted an extra guitar and couldn't find any solo yet)
All 3 song packs (so far)

They've gotten quite a bit of money from me, and I'll throw more at them in a heartbeat for more song packs, Rock the 80's (for PS2 if there's not 360 version). If they come out with the songs on 360 later, I'll probably pick those up too. This is, by far, one of my favorite franchises, and I will support it until the gameplay starts to suck. I will also support Rock Band if it's good, regardless of cost.

Has there been any confirmation that there will be no more DLC for GH2 360? I mean, what do they have to lose? It isn't like they have to put a whole lot of money into converting the songs over to 360, right? So if they sell some - which you know they will sell some - then it should all be good.

I get so much gameplay from this title alone that the cost of the extra songs has more than paid itself off. Now, if they would release the songs in single downloads, I bet they'd do just fine.

There hasn't been an official confirmation that there's no more, and no confirmation that we're getting more. XBox.com says there's supposed to be packs monthly, so if we don't see something by June 1st, I'd say the DLC is pretty much DOA.
