Let's Talk About Guitar Hero!!! PS2 & Xbox 360 versions!

[phoenix1967]

Because I already bought GH2 for the 360.

I was hoping the DLC songs on XBL from GH1 wouldn't be so pricey. However, if I can't find a GH1 PS2 bundle, then I might have to just be picky about which song packs I buy. 

[den68]

you don't need to find the bundle. ju3t get a PS2 guitar separate. those are everywhere, heck.. get a wireless one. then you just need GH1.

or don't buy any song packs till you beat GH2 on expert. by that time the songs may come down in price or even be free.

That's one of the problems with microtransactions. They never lower prices of content, even stuff that's been on the marketplace since launch in 2005 is still the same price.

[phoenix1967]

Most of the time that's true, Tan. However, Halo 2's map packages started out with a cost, and ended up being free after awhile.

So it's possible that costs will drop, but you're right that it's unfortunately not likely.

5 starred 7 more songs on medium last night; that makes 31/48. Also beat Heart-Shaped Box on Hard.

2 bucks for 3 songs? That's not to bad. I only want a handful of songs from GHI anyways. I would never buy any of the songs you could unlock.

No. It's just over 2 bucks PER song. 500 microsoft points ($6.25) for a 3 song pack.

[Tynstar]

It does suck since I am sure the songs I want won't be in the same packs.

Yeah. From what I've seen on the GH1 songlist and compared to what's on the 3 song packs offered, I'm thinking meh...I'll just wait until some better stuff is available.

I'm probably going to be drawn into picking up whichever song packs that have Crossroads and/or Cochise, though, if they're offered.

[Tynstar]

Crossroads, No One Knows and Cowboys from Hell are the songs I want.

[phoenix1967]

5-starred another 6 songs on Medium, bringing the total to 37/48. Crazy on You is pissin' me off! Also passed the first group of songs on Hard + 1 in the second group for a total of 7.

...and made a pathetic attempt at Expert with 0 success.

For achievements I played through a song on Easy successfully with "lefty flip" on. Then I kept it on to get a 2nd achievement(?) for failing a song on Easy.

[den68]

dude, when I'm over for the next Xbox night you might as well just hook your 360 to the extra TV. I'm itchin' to play the Iron Maiden and My Chemical Romance tracks.

[phoenix1967]

Get there early! I'll have it on the big TV. I bought a switch box recently so now 4 of my consoles are hooked up it.

So, we can play it before we get into our multiplayer mayhem. And then again at the end of the evening.

"Dead!" is really fun song to play. 

[phoenix1967]

Got another 4 songs 5-starred on Medium to bring the total to 41/48. Finally beat Crazy On You! Having some serious trouble with Institutionalized, though. Haven't been able to get better than a 3/5.

Used the Practice mode for some songs on Hard. Hard difficulty really makes you have to develop an entirely new strategy, hand placement, etc.

[den68]

my hand placement varies from song to song. you do need to develop some agility in your pinky though. there's no avoiding that.
