So instead of getting DLC on the first week of Nov you get to go out instead and buy Band Hero?

So much for weekly DLC Activision

I agree with you creepy, drug riddled John Lennon. BTW even after a few weeks of release the Beatles Rock Band is still special. The Abbey Road Melody is a gift from the heavens!

Wait wait wait wait wait.

GH5 can export into Band Hero, or Band Hero can export into GH5. But you have to pay BOTH TIMES!?

That is really, really, sad. And pretty much confirms that come GH6, BH2, or GH:World Tour 2....you won't be able to export a second time. Not to mention furthers the point that one of these discs (if not both) could've been cannibalized as DLC for ther other band game that was only out for 4 months before it was obsolete.

You do realize that RB is going to be the same way now, right?

Without this method, you could hypothetically have one person buy a copy and the whole world can have the songs for free. That's not being nice to the customer, that's bad business.

@Nastyman

Band Hero -> Guitar Hero 5 = 61/65 songs exportable = 94% export rate

Rock Band -> Rock Band 2 = 55/58 songs exportable = 95% export rate

Yeah, they're lagging waaaaaaay behind the competition there.

Dumbass.

Your math sucks.

GHWT -> GH5 = 35/85 songs exportable = 41% export rate.
GHSH -> GH5 = 21/48 songs exportable = 43% export rate.

And of course, neither band-centric game released this year will be exportable. Period. So that's a solid 0% right there. So yeah, they're lagging pretty far behind. And no, don't give me "They can't export" business, because both Metallica and Van Halen have had no issue with providing songs for discs not focused on them in the past.

So yeah, if you cherry pick your games, it's close. But if you actually take every title into consideration...it's not even remotely close.

Did they just...TRY to make Guitar Hero 5 complete garbage? I mean, the original tracklist is terrible, and now the DLC is terrible.

The original tracklist actually has a lot of good bands in it that haven't been in music games before or not in enough music games before (Sunny Day Real Estate, Elliott Smith, Gorillaz etc.) but yeah this DLC is garbage.

Anyone out there really still feel like GH is the platform of choice?

Blech.

Now DJ Hero... that's a different horse all together. :)

Yes. The inbred disfigured offspring of Beatmania that had been beaten to death ten years ago. BTW Kenny Rogers, why can't I find your chicken resteraunts? I have been curious for the longest time.

still no more imports from GHWT and GHSH?? laaaaame.

i was giving them the benefit of the doubt, and figured they would release more to coincide with the release of Band Hero...but apparently not. GH DLC is pathetic.

I might pick up one of the Kiss tracks and one of the Kravitz Songs.. but not the whole set of either.

Still at least Kiss is what Guitar Hero is all about... I prefer getting some of the classic 70's Rock over the new stuff that call's itself rock these days. I mean come on... Taylor Swift... Kanye is probably mad cause Beyonce isn't on Band Hero... or is she?

Grr...

Guitar Hero has thus far been my platform of choice because Rock Band, for some strange reason I can't explain, bores me to death and I enjoy the GH instruments more (5 drum pads) and many of the software features (party mode, expert+ drums, etc), but I cannot stand GH's DLC policy and I refuse to purchase any DLC until they get their act together.

In fact, I'll most likely switch over to Rock Band come RB3 and say to hell with GH.

Might have been interested had they not been on their 19th installment of this game since 2005. Milk milk milk. Less GHs, more support.

Because their free stuff, is SHIT!!!! Did anyone within the GH community requested "You Really Like Me" by Davidicus, or "RockNRola" by Nancy Fullforce.

Seriously, If you want to thank the fans, give them songs that the majority has requested for free or at least discount the month's DLC.

It's like you go to the mall's food court to try out some free samples, and you end up getting food poisoning.

Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz, a KISS pack? Free stuff? Not much cause for complaint here. Endless Sporatic is always great, hope they come up with something really good for December. Doesn't happen often but if they redo "We Three Kings" again or perhaps a metal cover of "Carol of the Bells" performed by Steve Oumiette I'd be down for that. His cover songs are great!
