Rejoice guitar heroes, for today marks the release of the greatest Guitar Hero III downloadable content yet! Available on the Xbox Live Marketplace right now, the Classic Rock Track Pack can be yours for 500 Microsoft Points.
The songs included in the pack are Boston's "Peace of Mind," Journey's "Any Way You Want It," and Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero." If there was ever a time to scream "DO WANT" at the top of your lungs, now would be it. Seriously, feel free to go crazy.
Best of all, the songs aren't performed by cover bands. Although, I will say that "Juke Box Hero" sounded a little ... off. Fortunately, Boston and Journey sound as incredible as they did in their prime.
Are the rest of you going to download this pack, or are you having a hard time justifying spending 500 Microsoft Points on 3 songs that can only be played with a guitar peripheral, unlike Rock Band's DLC?

Rock Band ftw!
You may want to check your RB downloadable content.
WHY NOT COLD AS ICE OR I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS?!
UGH!
Hey Activision: If you are going to release a product on multiple platforms, release updates for all of those platforms. Jerks.
I feel better. So Nick still has no internet eh?
...DLC tracks for the Wii version.
I'll be downloading this because I love Journey.
Any way you want it
Thats the way you need it

If I wanted to give Activision my money for their shitty attempt at DLC.
Someone is lying to me: http://kotaku.com/348501/ghiii-classic-pack-now-available
Hopefully Rock Band will step up and get some Journey..
*i.e., with your cock out
Their DLC sales sure aren't embarrassing. What's that you say? Most downloaded content?
GHIII has a few songs for free....this factors into their downloaded figure. In essence Rock Band is selling alot more but more Guitar Hero songs were downloaded. Make sense?
Rock Band FTW
look out
