Red Octane Says More Guitar Hero II Songs Coming in July

From Joystiq :
It’s been a long while since the last group of downloadable songs came out for the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II and it looks like those who are prepared to rock will need to wait just a bit longer. A post on the Red Octane site says that we’ll finally get more songs come July. An administrative poster on the site by the name of Rodth says, “While nothing’s been formally announced, look for something to come down the pipeline around the July timeframe.”
The price of the last batch of downloadable songs for Guitar Hero 2 was unreasonable in the eyes of many gamers. This online petition gathered 9,594 signatures before it closed on April 14th, 2007 :
To: RedOctane/Activision, Harmonix/MTV, Microsoft
Dear RedOctane/Activision, Harmonix/MTV, and Microsoft,
Fans of Guitar Hero II for xbox 360 were shocked and dismayed to discover the price point for xbox live downloadable content associated with our most anticipated game. The price point of $6.25 (USD) for 3 songs (or 500 MSP) is unacceptable and we respectfully decline to purchase any of them until this price is made more reasonable.
We have signed this petition with our xbox live gamertags, track us and you’ll find that we have not and will not purchase additional songs for Guitar Hero II at this price point.
Sincerely,
Will that be enough to have the next batch of songs come out at a more affordable price? More importantly, where the heck is my Rock the 80s for the 360?
New songs? Awesome!
I didn’t realize that a petition had been started about the price point. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft and RedOctane react to it. I didn’t sign it (I wasn’t playing at the time), but I’m definitely not paying $6.25 for 3 songs.
I can barely contain myself!
