The paper sleeve package?

Maybe they printed the 360 version of the package instead of the PS3 version... or maybe it didn't have the promotional only - not for sale garbage.

Band Hero Demo (360), 534MB - Gold Members Only

Perfect song selections to sell my 9 year-old daughter (Sunshine, Swift) and me (Paralyzer).

Wolfmother Track Pack up for GH5 on XBLM.

When I got that email I immediately thought the same. It's like one big giant anti-testical conspiracy with these rhythm game people. I know we're like supposed to be rockers and shit, but I haven't done enough of the cocaine to numb my nether regions yet.

Maybe I'll go back to playing Amplitude... and regain the innocence of a world before the powers-that-be united against the Playstation Nation.

Downloading the Demo for sure - I was only really looking forward to the Taylor Swift/Finger Eleven stuff mostly anyhow, so this is pretty sweet.

HAHAHA..finger 11...those guys are total trend jumpers..i miss when they were just a bunch of wacky college guys called the Rainbow Butt Monkeys

Me too.

One day back in ought 3 I was returning a rental car and was walking by a club and I see these dudes who were hanging out front chatting, and one was wearing a hockey jersey...because i live in Portland, this is pretty rare so I started talking to him. He starts going on about being in this band, Finger 11, blah blah. So I was like, 'Oh yeah I totally used to listen to you when you were called Rainbow Butt Monkeys, I dug that Circles tune.' He was taken aback, called over another dude from the band and told him and then he got my name and put it on the guest list for the show that night. I didn't bother going because it was the Nintendo tour with Evanesence who i didn't/don't care for.

Great tour. At least I enjoyed it.

Well, apart from their foray into following the trends with their second album, with all promo pics making them look 'hardcore' and shit, they've pretty much just done their own thing since and they are really nice guys. Met them a few times and worked on one of their music videos.

Just saw on IGN the full track listing for Band Hero....but the more important thing I saw was that 61 (of the 65) BH tracks will be importable into GH5!

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/103/1036302p1.html

"The week Band Hero hits store shelves, 69 tracks from the acclaimed Guitar Hero 5 will be available to import for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 480 Microsoft Points, on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system for $5.99, and Wii for 600 Wii Points. In addition, 61 of the chart-topping hits featured in Band Hero can be imported into Guitar Hero 5 for Xbox 360 for 420 Microsoft Points, on the PlayStation 3 system for $4.99, and Wii for 500 Wii Points. The previously released forward compatible songs from Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Smash Hits will also be available for import into Band Hero at launch. Finally, Guitar Hero fans can play almost all of their previously purchased Guitar Hero downloadable content in Band Hero, for a music library of up to 300 tracks."

The 4 songs that won't transfer per http://hub.guitarhero.com/support/fa...rt-information

Styx - Mr. Roboto
Jesse McCartney - Beautiful Soul
Aly and AJ - Like Whoa
Hilary Duff - So Yesterday

I wonder if this is the original Styx track or a "Cut Dennis DeYoung from every thing STYX related" re-record...

You know, as I was playing Guitar Hero 5, i thought to myself "okay this is finally on par with Rock Band 2"

BUT, then we had a Rock Band/Guitar Hero party. After watching how the beginner charts were so difficult in Guitar Hero, that led me back to believing Rock Band is still superior. Sure you're playing with only 3 of the frets, but you're playing EVERY SINGLE NOTE on easy which is not very user friendly. Then Beginner does the exact same thing where you just strum every note. The people who never played before were getting frustrated with Guitar Hero. They much preferred Rock Band.

How is the economy in the future? Are will still at war in the mid-East? So sad to see Rock Band 3 & 4 take a dive in quality only to have 5 be back on par with 2.

Yeah, I was going to say RB5 is better, especially if you get the Xbox 720 or PS4 version.

I could not care less about missing out on the other three, but it REALLY sucks that Mr. Roboto won't be importable....c'mon Styx, why the holdout?!

sonofa...i meant to say GH5 grrr.

I got my VH for PS3 today. I'm not impressed at all with the cheap ass packaging. They could have sent us a complete game with the not for resale on the back lacking a bar code.

didn't know where else to post this, but I just picked up Guitar Hero World Tour: Complete Guitar Game on PS3 for $22.88 at Target in Sandusky, OH.

Activision Edits strike again in Band Hero!

So sad.

OH NOES! We can't possibly keep the word for a type of liquor in a song and keep it rated E!! IT WILL WARP THEIR FRAGILE LITTLE MINDS!!!

Explain to me how it is OK and considered good, clean, wholesome American fun to take your kids to a NASCAR race or let them watch one on TV, with cars sponsored by Jim Beam and Jack Daniels....and yet this stupid company feels the need to remove this from their game....
Way to ruin a classic, Activision....

Especially odd considering that rye is a type of whiskey, but they left that in. WTF?

I'd blame the nonsense that is the ESRB rating system.
