Stupid Pricing

I was originally excited by the prospect of downloading new guitar hero tracks on Xbox live. Now that there are downloads I have decided to pass. Songs come in three packs and are over 2 dollars a track.... Buying all the guitar hero 1 songs would be more than the cost of guitar hero 2 with a guitar and guitar hero1 on ps2, which I already own. Yea screw that, Microsoft and Harmonix really dropped the ball on this one.

Secondly, maps that are add ons should be free. I refuse to pay for halo2 maps and for gears of war maps, esp the halo2 maps. I want map packs for both my Xbox and my 360. I don't wanna pay twice to get it on both consoles. Microsoft is sending out a strong message that they really don't care about the gamers and just want to take your money. Micro transactions are the bane of the service and I refuse to pay more for games that are rushed out and unrefined. Points add up fast and hopefully gamers will show their unhappiness by refusing to purchase overpriced content.
