um... Kingsy... what the fuck are you talking about?
it was made very clear back when GH5 came out and yet again when BH DLC compatibility was announced that all exports from WT and SH, all DLC, and anything else they ever export if that ever happens (NO FUCKING WAY) will be part of the GH Platform, which is to say that it's playable in GH5, BH, and also all future iterations of GH.
what they are doing now is releasing the same charts and songs as were in GHWT (SHA) and GHSH (Free Bird) to make them available to people who didn't buy either game and thus cannot export. what they are NOT doing is actually telling anyone that they are the same exact versions and mentioning that if anyone did export then they should not buy the song. the bold part is the part i have issue with. the only part i have issue with.
I would be very content if they decided to release every exportable song as DLC singles with a notation that they were also available through export of (game name). that's not what's happening here.
also they took the time to rechart free bird. it's out there on wii. they just fucked up in releasing the chart to 360 and ps3. so now every system has one console exclusive song in the GH series. unlike the halo theme and god of war theme, this one is only due to stupidity. _________________

In which case Activision's contract with MCA to have the rights to use the songs in GH5 will expire. With that, instead of rereleasing the songs through the next set of WT and SH imports with most likey one or two songs not coming over and Skynyrd being added in the new Import, which would make you all more furious? Rereleasing Skynyrd as DLC or Rereleasing Skynyrd through another set of Imports? So either way we would have to pay more money to play them but through the DLC route, others who might not have access to imports are able to download the songs serperately.
And yes, "Take the Money and Run" is great. So is Juke Box Hero, you should pick it up as well.
And if you don't pick up JBH because it was DLC for GH3, let me be the first to introduce you all to Smash Hits 2! Everyone wanted GH:SH as DLC and now we are getting it that way! So enjoy! |
Imports are DLC
DLC will transfer
The End. _________________

yeah i mean realistically it seems like they are trying to scam people out of 2 dollars by re releasing these songs. perhaps there is some legal reason to do it like this, but the issue is that they don't tell you that it's the same chart that you have already paid for twice (disk and import license), and if you have it on your hard drive already you are basically giving them 2 dollars for nothing.
i don't see how doing something like this is ethical and it is defiantly not fair. it borders on illegal since you give them money for something and they give you nothing in return. it would be like if you bought a song, deleted it, and then tried to download again only to find that they want another 2 dollars from you for the song you already purchased. you already paid for it and have the legal rights to use it so charging you for the same license again isn't legal right?
that is the issue at hand. i don't care that you put the same songs out again, i care that you can charge me for the same thing twice without telling me that its the same thing you already sold me. |

The May DLC Announcement said that PS3 owners will get them tomorrow, along with the Alternative Pop track pack. So theoretically, you're missing a week but you get 2 DLC packs the week after _________________

Do I need to quote this as a reminder?

It will also be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and on Wii™ on May 6. |
That means you PS3 guys are getting it along with the Alternative Pop stuff today, so there we go. _________________
