• Wall Street Wonders How Long Guitar Hero Can Stay Fresh - About Time....

  It's not like AGE hasn't discussed this before either. Aerosmith seems like a quick play to fill a gap in production time. An analyst with TheStreet.com has raised some concern over how long Activision can ride the Guitar Hero wave. He's skeptical about their releasing a game devoted entirely to Aerosmith.

• Seriously People - Guitar Hero II DLC Song Pack Go Multi-Platinum

  Been pretty busy with the real job so blogging has suffered a bit, but saw this and couldn't resist. I thought we had a pact people! Well, probably not an AGE issue given all the feedback we've seen on this issue, but wow that's a lot of downloads. I bet it sells better than Britney's new album: Activision announced today that the song packs for Guitar...

• Son of a.... : "Activision to stick to "Guitar Hero" song price"

  What a crock of sh*t. 300,000 song packs are nothing compared to the install based with GHII. Ok, well maybe not and I see their point as the gross revenue is ~$1.8M before licensing fees, etc. Yep, this is a business and I understand that. Supply and demand is Econ 101 with regards to pricing. So imagine you cut the price in half and demand triples...

• New Song Pack Release for Guitar Hero II

  Yep, 3 more songs at a ridiculously expensive price of 500 Points or $6.25 to lighten your wallet. Still haven't bought any of these packs as I've stuck my head in the sand until they lower the pricing. Yeah, that's right, no money from Cosmo.

• [Editorial]: So Where is all of the GH II DLC?

  Ok, I'm highjacking the blog for my own personal editorial. We can get into a discussion on the pricing aspect a little later and no, I haven't bought any of the song packs (and won't unless they come down in price). But has the backlash caused a shift in the DLC focus? Here are some direct quotes from Activision: “The expansive capabilities of the...

• Guitar Hero: 200,000 Song Packs Downloaded and 2 New Tracks for GH III

  Yes, I'm a GH whore and I love every minute of it. But I know a lot of you are as well, so thought these two clips were interesting this morning. I can't believe they sold over 200,000 Song Packs for GHII. Come on people, didn't we sign the petition? This doesn't bold well for any price changes in the future. I would gladly pay up to $50 for the entire... Posted Jun 01 2007, 08:29 AM by cosmo with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Downloadable Content, Guitar Hero 2, guitar Hero 3

  Awesome news for guitar fans. Good news is that at this point, it is believed that Guitar Hero peripherals will work with Rock Band. However, Rock Band working with GH is still up in the air. They have also signed on BOSS and Roland for effects pedals and synthesizers....Hmmmm. Harmonix has confirmed for GameSpot that it has signed an exclusive deal...

  Boy, am I glad I pre-ordered this game. Much to the delight of Activision/RedOctane, Guitar Hero II continues to be wildly popular.

• Guitar Hero II Update: Hurting or Helping?

  Auto-update may be causing serious issues. The release of Guitar Hero II on Xbox 360 brought cheers from the faithful who've been eager to rock. Things, however, haven't been so jolly for early adopters of Guitar Hero II. Of chief concern is an issue with some copies of Guitar Hero II that had faulty whammy bar control.

• Frets on Fire - Guitar Hero home brew (use your GH guitar with it!)

  The recent Live Marketplace pricing on the downloadable songs for Guitar Hero 2 have me so jaded. I was whole heartedly planning on downloading the new songs, but with the 100% markup on the songs, forget about it. The pricing is ridiculous,unfair, and a slap in the face of the Guitar Hero community that made the game the success that it is today. With...

  Xbox360FanBoy.com is reporting taht Activision and Red Octane's support pages note that the issue is caused by an element of Guitar Hero II that was added to "ensure accurate scoring". In other words, it was placed there to prevent cheating. Activision plans to release a patch that should rectify the issue within the coming weeks. So, if you were planning...
