I'll just come out and say - this news story infuriates me greatly. If you read the review yesterday, you'd see I had nothing but praise for the game. However, I have nothing but negatives for this pricing plan for the downloadable song packs. First up, "Killer Queen" is the only one that initially peaks my interest, but I'm being forced to pay for the others ones I don't care about? The buck a song I first heard was doable, as I could pick the ones I wanted and not worry about the rest, but this is ridiculous. Microsoft must be stopped with these transactions!

Good news: Just a week after the release of Guitar Hero II on the 360, a handful of songs from the original Guitar Hero have now become available as DLC on Xbox Live. Crappy news: You can pick up one of the three-song packs for the low, low price of ... $6.25! Hold on, we just choked on our picks.

In exchange for 500 points you can get one of the following three clusters, for just over $2 per song:

Pack 1: "Bark at the Moon," "Hey You," "Ace of Spades"
Pack 2: "Killer Queen," "Take it Off," "Frankenstein"
Pack 3: "Higher Ground," "Infected," "Stellar"
