And hell, you aren't even REMOTELY forced to buy this. It's not like a rushed-out sequel to an RPG that you just have to play because you have to keep up with the story. If you don't want to pay for it, then don't.
As long as the quality isn't affected, there's no difference in my mind between releasing 1 game every 2 years or 2 games every 1 year...or more even.
(tee hee)
I would comment on the fact that Aerosmith sucks--but they're pop music, and they have a huge fan base--popularity and quality don't always go hand in hand and from the standpoint of a business decision this was probably a wise one.. but it's still lame.
Nice way to scam people, not particularly good game design, but then again what would could you expect from a gimmicky one trick pony like guitar hero.

But I guess this explains your views right here: "a gimmicky one trick pony like guitar hero." Uhh...no shit..? What else do you expect it to do? What it does, it does well. I don't plan on faulting the upcoming SoulCalibur for being a one-trick pony simply because it's just a fighting game.
Also, want to talk about milking it? How about "Final" Fantasy XIII? or Grand Theft Auto 4 (which is actually the 7th GTA or so)? Now THAT is what I call milking a franchise. And again, nothing wrong.
But your point is only somewhat valid since the games you mentioned are actual sequels, sequels with actual new content and improvements, while guitar hero remains the same with only minimal changes.
And yes, SoulCalibur is relevant. You called Guitar Hero a "one trick pony" in what I can only assume was a derogatory way. I mentioned SoulCalibur because it too only has one element: fighting. I guess I could have mentioned Grand Turismo as well. Keep in mind, I'm not giving these as examples of sequels with new content, but rather, I'm bringing them up as "one trick ponies."
Once again, how is this a scam in ANY god damn way? Can you answer that, or you were blowing things out of proportion?
The shit neversoft is trying to pull here is greed on a level that even EA games couldn't dream up.
To say that the games are still the same just because soulcalibur still features fighting and grand turismo still features driving, is a pretty silly and irrational thing to say.
GTAIV is GTA3 with prettier graphics. Same gameplay. Final Fantasy games are all the same. Pretty boy/girl saves world. Sequels perhaps, but doesn't mean they're not milking the franchise. It's much easier to sell a GTA or FF game than having to create a new IP and try to sell that.
So by your definition every sequel to every game is just the same game over and over.
Good for you.....
Sequels to games always have the same gameplay but with some additions or new content.

I don't see this as a buy for anyone but Areosmith fans. Even the other song content isn't that appealing (to me anyway, as I don't know any of the other songs)
Rockband does this thing a whole lot better, with the Band packs. I didn't by the Grateful Dead 8 song pack because I don't like them. But my brother did.
For as many people that are questioning this add-on there are probably the same amount of people that are counting the days till its release. For me, I don't see the reason for it. It's nothing that couldn't have been released on line as a track pack, for cheaper.
