This isn't that big of a deal, but we thought we'd let you know as a bit of a public service. Well, I guess it would be a big deal if you were a Taylor Swift fan.
If you were planning on getting Band Hero this November (limit 2 per household!), you might see about getting it at GameStop, where it seems that they will offer two free songs as a pre-order bonus. This deal is available both online and in-store. Online, they'll email you a code and instructions. If you get it in the store, you'll receive a card with your codes when you pick the game up.
These couple of songs might take the sting off the $199.99 price tag for the full band kit.
Anyone out there plan on getting Band Hero?

...Nobody, 'cept for Nick Chester. (I kid, I kid)
I understand Rock Band 1, 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. I bought RB1 because it kicked GH3's butt, RB2 because I could keep all my songs, and Beatles:RB because it's the one band that can carry a dedicated game with their music career.
BTW, GameStop's running the same deal for GH5 and DJ Hero (two free downloads with preorder), and a similar one (three free downloads) for Rock Band: Beatles.
May Rockband live forever.
Don't forget about Tony Hawk Ride and it's full-sized skateboard controller.
Oh, and I left out Tony Hawk's ride bundle.
