Now work out how much it'll cost to purchase every track from GH1 when they're all eventually released.

I hate microtransactions.

^There's nothing micro about this.

The negative side effect of consoles going online. Can't these dickheads just release expansion packs and be done with it??

Waaaaaaaaaay too much. 100pts per song would have been bearable but 500pts for 3 is not only overpriced but you're being forced to buy songs you might not want. If they were new songs it wouldn't be so bad but these are songs from a 2yr old game, it's not like they've had to go through the time and expense of recording these song especially for DLC....

I say put up or shut up. Me, I was happy to buy these tracks. For someone who already had GH on PS2, they may have thought differently, but me? I saw the price and I thought "Nyeh, who cares." It's about $2.50 per song - not that much more than iTunes really.

I love the game, I hate those prices.

There go my hopes of playing GH1 songs using the GH2 system. I'll stick with GH1 on PS2 thanks.

What else is there to say other than F**K OFF Microsoft/Activision or whoever-the-f**k green lighted this sh!t.
