Still need a reason to pony up more money for another version of Guitar Hero? Well it seems that Red Octane has informed GameSpy that the 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 could support online play through a downloadable patch:
However, online multiplayer may not quite be dead yet. According to Red Octane, multiplayer is something they really wanted to get in the game, and may still add via an update down the road. The key, it seems, is co-op play, which is a lot trickier to make work (the pro-tourney mode is essentially two players independently playing against the computer, while co-op requires direct interaction between the players). So, while Red Octane isn't making any promises, we're holding out hope that multiplayer might still show up at some point.
Oh man, make it happen. Having online battles or co-op would make the 360 version so much more uber -- not to mention we already know there's gonna be downloadable songs.

as long as it works well.... Amplitude for the PS2 had online play but also had a bug that would make the system sometimes drop notes, making it almost impossible to compete
Microsoft has sole copyright to thier wireless technology on the 360, why do you think there has been no wireless controllers or headsets? they would get sued out of their ass by Microsoft. So, until M$ lets up on their selfishness, then the wireless guitars will come, but to be honest with you, i do not think that is going to happen... Microsoft likes money, and like making it by MAKING the consumer buy their stuff. Its a shifty situation, but oh well, i guess no Guitar throws around my body this time around.
But co-op internet GH2 songs? W00t.
Because then their will be an amazingly addictive and fun game in which 6-year-old-british children who of which have parents with meth habbits, will stay the fuck out of my beloved games, and i mean partys in that statement.
i like your dancing ninja.
Well, the main advantage i see in this is getting the co-op achievements.
