Guitar Hero II song packs expensive: We are part of the problem

DO NOT PAY FOR THIS! What the hell people?

i for one will defo not pay for any of these songs, even if they were songs i didnt get infuriated by i wouldnt spend 500 points on em. wtfm$?

seriously, if you buy these packs you are letting someone rape you, and possibly rape a family member. that is ridiculous. lucky for me i've got guitar hero 1, and i don't have friends. [:

oh and for hd.... my ps2 looks great on my 55" sxrd tv. shiny doesn't always make hd.

Well I was excited for the song packs until the announced the price. Fuck that.

Yep. F U C K T H A T.


Dear Microsoft,
This Christmas, I'd like my virginity back,
as you have raped me on numerous occasions.

I don't own a PS2, but even then, there is NO way in hell I'd pay for this. Maybe if the packs had twice as many songs. But three songs for 500 points. MS = Fail.

While I agree that these pack should be discounted at least 50%, is it really cheaper to go buy a PS2, guitar, and GH1 for someone that has a 360 only? I don't think so...

Don't get me wrong, this is an ass rape, but if you have no interest in anything PS2, I really don't think that option is cheaper. Besides, what kind of tool would buy every song pack released? (GH fanboy maybe?).

It would be best it they released the songs individually for 75 points each. If my math is correct (what retard came up with 1 point = 1.25 cents?), that even undercuts iTunes by a nickle. But you can't really load a GH track to your iPod, so....meh.

Fuck that! The most I would pay is $10 for ALL the original tracks. That's it... that's all. Fuck them, they are not getting a penny from me for this bullshit!

curious. what would be fair pricing in your eyes?

would these prices still piss you off if they we're 3 entirely new songs in each pack (not from GH1)?

AGREED!

Additionally, I think The Donnas are pretty cool.

The Donnas may look hot, but they are not cool. At least to anyone that purposely missed the OC.

Hole WAS cool, Breeders are okay, Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane are alright, but the Donnas are not cool.

kittie is cooler.

here come the petitions......


*shrug*

I got pack 1..only because I had the extra points.

ya know whats funny about this story, is that i just brought the same thing up ( not about guitar hero but other games and microtransactions ) on the xbox forum calling major nelson out on it and i have yet to get any response other then a bunch of sycophantic 360 fan boys telling me what an asshole i am for bringing it up.

i brought up the whole epic wanted to give us map packs and microsuck made it so we had to pay and i got blasted for stating the truth and how it was going to lead to more and mroe shit like that happening if someone didnt say something about it.

and the fanboys continued to blast away telling me to go buy a ps3 or a wii cause they didnt want to play against a pussy like me no xbox360.

microsuck is nickel and dime-in the fuck out of everyone and nobody seems to care.

so here we are today with guitar hero and the supremely overpriced tunes packs to illustrate further my initial point that they are gouging us up the butt hole with shit like this.

WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA , BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL AND FUCKING SAY SOMETHING AND BE HEARD.

Start a forum and complain like spoiled little fucking brats until they change the policy cause its MS that sets the price for the shit on marketplace so dont let them tell you its the devs cause thats a load of shit.

Its greedy fucking microsoft filling up the coffers.

Wow, this is gonna have an effect on whether I even buy the game or not. While I'm not a huge fan of the pressed setlist, I enjoyed the gameplay and was looking forward to what would be offered in future songpacks. But not at those prices.

Hell, DDR Universe, doing pretty such the same thing to the songs workwise, sells em for a much more reasonable 100pts per song.

If you buy those Song Packs then the terrorists have already won....DON"T BUY THEM!!!!!

A lot of people on the Guitar Hero forums are pretty pissed too, as we all should be. There's one post that has a petition on it saying we won't buy the packs they have at that price. I'm not sure if online petitions actually work or not, but it's something.

Please, if you've bought even one of these packs so far, give me your address. So I can come to your house with a baseball bat. And knock some fucking sense into you.

I fucking hate people. This is disgusting.

I also was really looking forward to downloadable songs, I was expecting like 500-700 points for 1 set (5 songs). This sucks, i won't buy them unless i'm drunkish and have a lot of peer pressure.

I agree with unstoppablejuggernaut, thought I may not be as insane, haha. You have some solid points, we seriously have to dig in and puch against microsoft as a gaming community.

Whenever you are on Xbox live in Gears of War, Halo, or whatever your game of choice is, bring up these facts. Get more people knowing about this so we can get something done about it. I would say we should try to get EA in on this too, but they would ask MS for money to support them.

I won't buy any of these yet, but if More Than a Feeling is released, I'm willing to pay 800 MP for that song.

The sweet, sweet irony is that I bought my GH2 from Circuit City, and got a 1600 MS point card for free.

So now I have to blow the whole card on these overpriced song packs? I'll pass.

Congrats Guitar Hero, you now have the 2007 version of overpriced horse armor

I think it wouldn't be so bad if the three songs were from Zep or ACDC, maybe specific band packs.

But like another poster, I'm also curious. If everyone is going apeshit, what would most of you consider fair? A buck a song?

For me, I'm not really surprised anymore. I mean, a large coffee at Starbucks is 4 bucks, renting a game is 8, gas is around 3 dollars a gallon..etc. The thing is, I get a bit more angry at the gas and coffee thing because those things only last a short while. You own these songs for the life of the console. I don't know.
