DJ Hero gets its first DLC: Gorillaz, Queen, and more photo

DJ Hero may have a high amount of mixes on the disc -- 93, to be exact -- but there's always room for more. Especially if you find yourself getting tired of the same songs appearing in multiple mash-ups.

Available now on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 480 MS Points ($5.99) is the "Extended Mix Pack 01." I don't own PlayStation 3, so I could not confirm if the new mixes were also on the PlayStation Store yet, but they are supposed to be on there today. The DLC is a bundle of the following mixes:

  • "All Of Me" by 50 Cent featuring Mary J. Blige vs. "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen
  • "DARE" by Gorillaz vs. "Can't Truss It" Performed by Public Enemy

Now that guy who plays DJ Hero for weddings "professionally" can add one of my favorite Gorillaz tracks to his line-up. How rad.

Six bucks for two tracks. That sucks but I guess I could see why, what with licensing rights needed for two songs per track, but still... Man.

DARE is quite the awesome track, but $6 for two? Screw that noise.

It's not only the licensing. They also have to go through the work of making the remix. It's not like rock band or guitar hero where all they have to do is take the masters and track them out.

I really don't trying to justify the high cost of DLC works as an excuse, especially when it's higher than something else of similar quality.

I know the amount of labor involved in something like this. It's not worth the time involved to gouge at $6.

I'm really seriously passing on this game until it's dirt cheap. If that's 6-8 months from now, that's fine, but the whole thing just doesn't sit well with me.

I want to be wrong and I want it to be popular, but everything I've seen with this, it's just disappointment after disappointment...

I don't like the music in this game one. It's almost as if all Activision did is take their existing licensed songs that they had from the Guitar Hero series, and just have them mashed up by a few good DJs and the some unknowns. And they keep repeating the tracks, too. How many fucking mixes can you can make with "Holla Back Girl?" Apparently we'll find out as we keep playing this game. Or, you'll find out - I hated it.

$6 = 2 tracks = no deal

Pricey. I recognize they have to do the mixing and all but still pricey.

Plus they don't look too goof.

I am fucking loving DJ Hero so far but the lack of a Music Store is absolutely retarded.

@Dyson
Agreed. It doesn't bug me but I can see how it would have a huge negative effect. Ironically the Hollaback Girl mixes are all top notch in my book.

Did they really have to use Dare?

If you know somebody who has this, sit down and play it for 20-30 minutes. If you had some time with this game you will truly hear how much work is put into these mixes. Then again maybe people won't buy the dlc and they'll bring the price down.
