The kids over at
Team Xbox managed to land some official images of the box and guitar bundle for the Xbox 360 version of
Guitar Hero II.
What's notable about the image (besides it making me have to change my pants) is the confirmation of not only downloadable content (which was a no-brainer), but the promise of additional songs. Red Octane hasn't revealed any details about the songs, but it's entirely possible that both the downloadable content and additional tracks will be songs taken from the original
Guitar Hero. Any new content would be quite a bonus.
One can also speculate over the absence of the words "playable over Xbox Live." Because while leaderboards seem likely, the addition of co-op or face off modes over Xbox Live would truly make this a must have for fans of the series, whether or they owned the game on the PlayStation 2 or not.
While no release date has been set, you'll know the game has hit the shelves when you stop seeing posts with my name attached to them. Because you're going to have to tear that White Explorer from my cold, dead hands.

Any news on if they got the wireless controllers up and running, or are MSoft still being a bunch of proprietary bitches?
I'm in Bahrain now, we were playing this at a kiosk in a store that was totally empty the other day, and apparently my friend and I must have had some pretty crazy jamout expressions on us, because a couple of passerby's in the window started a little crowd around us which formed up as we went on, and everyone jeered us on. Quite funny, we played it to the crowd as well, tossing the guitar around and pulling our psuedo-80's rockgod moves out of the closet for a bit... ahhh good times
And he also plays an explorer. I await the 360 version with much anticipation.
They were never contacted about being in the game until it was already out and someone told them about it.. Got no royalties from it but definitely got a lot more fans! Paper Sun is awesome and they're starting to work on a new album.. Sorry for the 'spam' guys but I try to plug them anywhere I can! (they're on myspace as well)
Downloadable songs sounds cool, as long as there are some good ones and they arent priced too heavily (or some free ones every now and again)
