New Guitar Hero II Content Up On Marketplace

Gamers who can’t get enough of the 70+ tracks on Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 now have the opportunity to experience the tracks from the game’s prequel. 500 MS Points will be the damage for a pack of three songs including:
- Bark At the Moon: Ozzy Osbourne
- Hey You: The Exies
- Ace of Spades: Motorhead
- Killer Queen: Queen
- Take it Off: The Donnas
- Frankenstein: The Edgar Winter Group
- Higher Ground: The Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Infected: Bad Religion
- Stellar: Incubus
It’s cool that they’re putting them up there, but the price just doesn’t seem right for what you’re getting. 500 MS Points ($6.25 USD) for three songs? Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s a little steep…
There’s also two picture packs–each 100 MS Points and a Guitar Hero II theme up for 150 MS Points.

Fortunately, with that 1600 MS Points deal with Circuit City, I bought all three packs with 100 MS points to spare.
I particularly love Killer Queen, though Ace of Spades and Frankenstein are really really good, too.

Can we get some more recent music? I know this game caters to the classic rock, but the downloadable content would be a good opportunity to offer newer songs. I would love to see Perfect Situation by Weezer.

[...] It seems odd that Sony themselves haven’t yet developed a first party product to make the PS2 hits, Guitar Hero 1 and 2, playable on the Playstation 3. Thanks to the folks at peripheral manufacturer Pelican, we can now shred through both titles with the latest PS2 to PS3 controller adapter, sans pricey downloadable content. [...]
