Yep :)

I'm like 3100 or something in that range. 

It's nice to know that I may be making a difference... Maybe... 

Let's at least be hopeful

Online petitions are like mens' nipples.  Useless.


The ultimate petition is not paying for it.  ...and telling your friends not to.  Then, they'll be forced to lower prices next time.

Support companies that offer free or fairly priced content.  We, the consumers, hold ALL the power in the equation.  Game companies will only do what we let them.  Make your point clear and make it now.

I just want one of the songs, there's no way in hell I'm coughing up 500 M$ points for it. I'd rather go buy a new arcade game.

Unless they drop the cost of it, I think they've just convinced me to stop microtransactions completely.  That is the tool that will ruin gaming as we know it

the petition is stating that people who are signing it will not buy them...

your right, its not about the petition as it alone is usless. it about the actions of the ones who sign it

Anyone who says to stop crying is retarded because pricing is relative.  You buy all of these, it is almost like buying an expansion pack and it is clear that 9 songs don't cut it.  It comes out to more than 2 bucks a song when on itunes or anything like that, it is 1 buck.  Sure they are made for a video game but that is the point.  I have to do something to even listen to the song and it is not like they are the real songs!  Come on!

I signed. It's simply too expensive per song. I'm sure they are fun. Some of them are fabulous songs. That does not justify the pricing.

H2gtasarcua

This GH2 has really upset a lot of people.  I am not interested in the game but I hope many people sign this petition, and that it is taken notice of because I think it will help M$ realize that us gamers will not put up with these outrageous prices.  I am pretty sure most everyone agrees.  So don't just sign the petition, don't buy the game packets either.

They are a too expensive for me to justify buying them as well... But did anyone consider that maybe they had to repurchase the licensing rights to these songs to be able to put them on GH2?

This is BS it should be free, we pay 90$ for the game and on top of that pay more for songs that should have been included with the game in the first place!

I understand if it was a good amount of songs that will keep you playing them for as long as an arcade game but 9 songs it is really nor worth it, plus they are coming with Guitar Hero 3 at the end of this year what they should have done was just call the game  guitar hero 360 and keep on coming songs for it till a new game in a good 2-3 years

They did have to repurchase the licensing rights, but there are 48 songs on the game for $60. That equals out to $1.25 per song and that's not including the bonus tracks (there are 26 of those). Add also to that, the tracks were previously in GH 1, meaning there wasn't even that much programing involved. Plus, I figure the rights to the music are cheaper because of the cover band, otherwise it's pointless to use them. This is all too ridiculous to comprehend, Microsoft is going to lose my business entirely if they keep this up.

What you said was the ultimate petition is, is exactly the point of a petition in the first place. Besides just not buying it they are actually voicing their opinion more publicly.

an edit (sorry for double post). All I ment was, yes it's too expensive, yes it should be free and yes I do not agree with the price what so ever. None of this is going to change the fact that, come monday, I'm atleast buying the pack with Bark at the Moon in it.

I have a job. And I don't plan on buying the songs at that price. It doesn't matter if they care or not. What matters is something is wrong here and people aren't just sitting back and taking it up the ass. People are voicing their opinion. It's a good idea to have morals and values in general and it is also good to stand up for them. No matter how feeble it may be. Just plain giving up and accepting it is just moronic.

read my edit, I came across too strong with the original post, i agree to that, just a bit tired. Moaning about the price of a couple of songs doesn't realy come into my list of morals but okay. and I have no intention of putting anything, guitar hero related or not, up my ass

I bought them. Yes the price is ridiculous, but I wanted the songs, and besides I have the money. Yes I know, if i support this they will keep doing it, but for GH only, I am willing to accept the price, i like it that much.

#5554, Sadly I gave in and purchased, but purchasing them even further showed me that the prices are defin. not worth it.  No stage animations other than star power and strumming, much of which looks like a character on a GH custom hack(if you dont know what this is yet, youtube it) Just all and all a song mapped to a game scene.  I hope RedOctane can at least adjust the prices for the remaining GH 1 songs.  News songs I can understand a higher but reasonable price, but damn people, paying more than the original cost of a 2 year old game is just absurd.

I agree, I do want to support and endorse GH, but we shouldnt have to pay more(than what it originally cost) for something, I think we can say, we all at one point purchased.
