Activision to offer five free DLC tracks to GH: World Tour guitar bundle owners

considering how i'm going to want to play drums, i'll get the full band set eventually. i was just saying the reasoning behind it.

"Consoler of the Lonely"

Kind of ironic given that you're only getting one guitar with it, eh?

If it's selling well, there's no reason to offer free stuff with it to encourage purchases.

Maybe they're not giving the points for it and they're just straight up giving vouchers for the DLC so people won't buy something else, and the Wii Shop isn't set up to work with that? Just a guess.

Actually, I believe Sora is right.

It is possible to redeem a code on XBLM and PSN and get a certain item.

However, on the Wii, you can only redeem codes for points. Nintendo could update that.... but they most likely wont.

You could give them your Wii Number or Friend Code or Serial Number or something. Then the next time you boot up the Music Shopping on GH:WT, you're greeted with 5 free songs?

You can redeem codes, like for the Wii Speak Channel, and there were hints of redeem codes coming with games in the new update.

Activision/Red Octane has stated that the Wii's online infrastructure isn't set up to even be capable of offering track packs for the slightly lower price that other systems get them.
Wii owners are stuck with paying 200 Wii Points for every song, no 550 Wii Point deals here...

I assume this falls into that category. The only thing they could do is bundle 1000 Wii Points with it, which requires working with Nintendo and spending money to give things for free... and there's also the potential that people would simply spend the 1000 Wii Points on something else entirely.
(shrugs) I would. DLC is so far away from cost-efficient anyway... 25 songs= price of brand new game.

Yeah...but you're forgetting that Activision's has little clauses on it, while Harmonix just gives it out.

you forgot a few:

Headline: "Treyarch making new Call of Duty"
Commenters:" WTF GAYARCH IS JUST GONNA KILL THE SERIES. ALL THEY DO IS MAKE SHITTY GAMES WWII IS GAY FUCK YOU"

Headline: "Infinity Ward making new Call of Duty, releasing next year"
Commenters: "YEAH ACTIVISION GOT RID OF GAYARCH THIS GAME IS GOING TO ROXXORS AND TEABAG THE COMPETITION HARDCORE!!!1!"

Headline: "EA making next installment in __________ series"
Commenters: "STUPID SHITHEADS WERES MY NEW IPS?!?!?! STOP RUINING GAMING BY PANDERING TO TEH CAUSUALS AND MAKE AN ORIGINAL GAME"

Headline: "ActiBlizion/SquareEnix making next installment in ________ series"
Commenters: OMG IVE BEEN WAITING TO PLAY FINAL FANTASY XXXXXVIII AND CALL OF DUTY 645 SINCE I FINISHED FINAL FANTASY XXXXXVII AND CALL OF DUTY 644"

Headline: "Nintendo sells 2 million Wiis, 1.5 million DSes"
Commenters: "STUPID FUCKING CASUALS RUINING GAMING WITH THEIR WAGGLEFEST MINIGAMES. ITS YOUR FAULT THAT WE'LL NEVER GET A SEQUEL TO BG&E/ THAT "HARDCORE SHOOTER 9000" DIDNT SELL WELL/THE ECONOMY'S TANKING. AND LOOK, NO GAMES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON NINTENDO IS OBVIOUSLY ABANDONING US AND NEVER GOING TO MAKE A SEQUEL TO SIN & PUNISHMENT OR A NEW PUNCH-OUT!!!"

Headline: "Mirrors Edge only sells 5 copies"
commenters: "ITS ALL THE WIIS FAULT DAMMIT! THERE WERE NO OTHER GAMES COMING OUT IN THE PAST MONTH THIS GAME SHOULD'VE SOLD ELEVENTY BILLION COPIES CAUSE I BOUGHT IT AND ENJOYED IT SO IT MUST BE GAME OF THE YEAR"

In conclusion,
lol

Yes, isn't the gaming community super great?

=(

sora and moptium are brillant!

Was this the line for Harmonix fellatio?

Don't lie. I bet I can get ladies on their knees while reciting "When A Man Loves A Woman" in their Guitar Hero.

I'll be honest with you, I love his music; I do! I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".

I celebrate his entire collection.

Actually, according to the latest Gamespot weekly flyer or whatever its called GHWT guitar kit is now $84.99 on PS3, Wii, and 360, and $74.99 on PS2.

just picked up the guitar pack yesterday from gamestop for 85 bucks. Didn't know about the free songs though. woohoo

I'd say the real news is that the Hannah Montana (It's Miley!) guitar game is only $40! Talk about value for your money,

Also, thanks for the heads up. Went down and got one myself.

The poor TRU employee who wrong me up was sad as he saw all of the bundles disappearing before he was going to have a chance to buy one.

Well, found the number (it's under the top battery), but when I entered them the first time, I had an error in the user ID, and it told me so. Now when I try to enter them, it says both numbers are invalid. There is still no mention of the pomotion on the GH site that I can find. Anyone actually get this to work yet?

Same deal here... The format of the Owner ID on the form does not match what is on the user manual. I tried putting the 20 characters in anyway but it said invalid owner id. I submitted something through customer support. Haven't heard anything yet.
