    I saw a DJ hero video linked from there.

    http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14280894/dj-hero/videos/djhero_trl_kidcudivblackeyedpeas1_72709.html

    Maybe it's just me but I hadn't seen any actual videos yet. It looks kind of neat I guess.

    Oh good, that previous list was accurate. Looks good to me.

    Although I doubt I'll be getting it right away when it comes out because of Beatles Rock band and lack of money to get both.

    Yeah, there's like 6 live versions of songs on there, which is pretty awesome, even if I don't care for some of the songs. I'm gonna have to figure out where the live Scatterbrain is from because at the moment I am not sure.

    Box art for DJ Hero. Put on some color-dampening glasses before you look at this one. No, really.

    I hate to get in on this kind of debate, but thus far DJ Hero seems hugely inferior to Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. The controller seems far more abstract for no good reason, and from all the gameplay videos I've seen it's far, far less functional overall.

    But yeah, I think I'm still seeing spots in my vision after seeing that box art. Unique is one thing, but it takes a few seconds to spot "DJ Hero" among the absurd amount of visual clutter.

    That actually looks REALLY neat. I like it a lot.

    I wonder if both tracks are actually there - or if these are mixes that are pre-done and unchangeable. Because I'm yet to hear any "plink plong" like when you miss notes on guitar hero. Like, I wonder if I would fail the song, if I just left the fader on one side and let the other song play.

    Because if it is the real tracks, and the on-screen notes and stuff are simply there because they're scoring you on emulating a mix someone made, that means there could be a 'freestyle' mode where I can dick around and make my OWN mixes. Which would be an instant sell.

    So there's some kind of viral video thingy that's pretty obviously for GH5. Apparently Activision believes the selling point of the game is barely-censored naked chicks and a big fat guy.

    I very nearly bought GHWT at Costco (only $149) but stopped myself when I remembered GH5 was coming out. But for the life of me, I can't find any pre-order info on GH5 with the drum kit. Is that info out yet? It's only a month away but I can't find jack shit on the cost of the full bundle or whether I can pre-order it.

    Even the RedOctane store doesn't list a drum kit bundle. I'm wondering if I'm just better off buying the GHWT kit and buying the game only version of GH5. At least I could play that now.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    ....I miss the days when viral videos at least attempted to be original.

    Though I will say Activision picked chicks that don't have disturbingly protruding pelvises. Then again, they included a naked fat guy.

    That video made me laugh. It's good advertisement, but not neccesarily for Guitar Hero. Still, after the "risky business" ads, what do we know?


    Did anyone pick up smash/greatest hits? The guy I live with plays bass in game, so I got it for more to do.
    From the videos i saw previously, it seemed like the songs were harder in some places and easier in others and thats the way the game played out.

    For Smash\Greatest Hits (Lol, it's still GH:GH in Aus) I've found all the songs I wanted to play were just...well, annoying to play. The charts felt horribly off, there seemed to be a lot of just random patterns that were just frustrating as hell to play and overall, I didn't enjoy my GH:GH experience.

    Also, I'm honestly not sure what to say to that GH:5 video...

    It's, effective?

    Just watched the Shirley Manson vid. I didn't realise she was that British...intriguing. Anyway I didn't have that Garbage song in my collection but now I can happily say I've A: heard it before and B: Am very much looking forward to singing the hell out of it.

    I just looked her up on wikipedia and she was that woman with red hair in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. I knew I recognized her from somewhere.

    I just watched that Shirley Manson video, and I actually really like the way she looks in-game. They've come a long way from the weirdness of Morello and Slash in 3 and the creepiness of Hendrix in WT. I never did get far enough to see what Hayley Williams looked like in GT, though.

    Depends on who's making it, because GH now has several developers. Neversoft, the guys responsible for the main series, have definitely toned it down since GH3. World Tour's notecharts are pretty fun.

    Very restricted. The only songs it has that I like are Knights of Cydonia and Sabotage. Most of the 'boss songs' aren't there, and no bonuses.
